If FF doesn't report flash being installed and enabled. I would just walk through the flash install process for whatever Slackware version you're running. Here's a couple of good links I found for doing that. They all have pointers to the slackbuilds and such. http://www.basicconfig.com/install_adobe_flash_player_slackware_linux http://slackerboyabhi.wordpress.com/2012/01/17/installation-of-flash-player-for-slackware-13-37/ http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/slackware-14/ive-screwed-up-installing-flash-player-4175433956/ I wish I knew more about Slackware. Maybe in 2013 I'll make a concerted effort to run it and learn it. Hope this is helpful.
