Flash has typically not had a required browser version or it's been very low. Since it's a plugin it runs in it's own sand box so to speak. The only requirements I would think would be if a Flash Player version required specific API's of the NPAPI and PPAPI plugin formats.
Just recently Flash Player has added support for browser zoom, (Improved Resolution of Stage3D Content on Browser Zoom). This is the first time I've seen FP require a newer browser in as long as I can remember. However it's not required to have this browser it's only required if you need this feature. >From the Adobe FP blog: As of FP 15, the above feature is only available for Internet Explorer on Windows 8.x. Feature availability on other browsers and OSes is currently being investigated. Browsers based the NPAPI plug-in (eg, Firefox, Safari) will not support this feature due to lack of plug-in APIs for retrieving the browser zoom value. Support for browsers based on the PPAPI plug-in (eg, Chrome) is being considered for a near future version of FP. On browser platforms that do not support this feature, the Event.BROWSER_ZOOM_CHANGE event will not fire, the return value of Stage.browserZoomFactor will not change, and setting of the wantsBestResolutionOnBrowserZoom parameter will have no effect.
