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. http://www.slackware.com/~alien/slackbuilds/ If I want to use Chromium, then I install pepperflash from the same repo. -Ben On Tue, Dec 18, 2018 at 2:59 PM Rich Shepard <[email protected]> wrote: > On Tue, 18 Dec 2018, Dick Steffens wrote: > > > Oddly, while it works on the Slackware laptop, it doesn't work on my > > Ubuntu 18 desktop.
