   See http://forum.slitaz.org/topic/how-do-i-install-latest-firefox?replies=2#post-39769 for the way to find Flash. Note that the last version supplied and supported by Adobe on Linux is 11.2.

   So after I installed Firefox flash was working for a bit and now it's not.Like on youtube flash was working but now it's back to the HTML5 player which is relly slow and I hate that I can't lower the res.

   Really weird. Something must have changed. Try with a fresh user profile.

   I think youtube is a mess and should not be used for testing. I'd rather go to a flash-games site.

   P.-S.: maybe you can disable the video plugin in FF to prevent running the HTML5 player? Or a setting in about:config?

   noob question:fresh user profile?do you mean a new slitaz account?

   Ok,so I went to armorgames.com,got distracted for approx 1hr 30mins playing Kingdom Rush and flash seems to be working.

   Disabling plugins doesn't work and I go to about:config then panic "What is all this!!!".

   fresh user profile?

   Oh, sorry. I forgot this feature is hidden in FF (unlike Seamonkey). In a terminal, type
   firefox --ProfileManager
   then add a profile and start with it.

   A new profile has default settings, this helps find out if the problem lies in a configuration choice of the user.

   got distracted for approx 1hr 30mins playing Kingdom Rush and flash seems to be working.

   :-D Good news!

   about:config then panic "What is all this!!!"

   It's a hacker's lair!

   Seriously. Type in the search box, this will filter some items in the list. E.g. if I type "video" I get around 20 items, among which "media.navigator.video.enabled"; maybe toggling it will do what you want? It's a game of trial and error... or ask your favorite web search engine. Do this with your brand new test profile, not the regular one!

   Well never mind because I just had to go here http://www.youtube.com/html5 and fiddle with some settings but it still would be nice to know about this profile stuff.Also If I type firefox--ProfileManager it says :

   sh: firefox: not found

    Mmmh, here https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles#w_starting-the-profile-manager they don't use double-dash, try this maybe. Also note what they say: all FF windows must be closed. If this doesn't work you should at least get an error or warning in the terminal...

    Well it worked,I've made a test profile and seems it doesn't matter if you put single or double-dashes.
