First, Pepperflash is chrome specific. That's it, that's the reality and
there is NOTHING else. Pepperflash is a GOOGLE specific product intended
for use with other GOOGLE products.
Firefox is a MOZILLA product. The difference and why pepperflash isn't
working should be obvious.

After >10 emails I feel the need to put a lid on all the misinformation.


To confirm flash functionality in firefox, open a new tab and type
'about:plugins'

On a fresh install you will see 2 items
Flash, if installed will make 3.


On new installs of Slackware I always download Alien Bob's
flashplayer-plugin package and restart Firefox. It takes 60 seconds. 30
seconds if Firefox was not already running.

If I want to use Chromium, then I install pepperflash from the same repo.
