[SOLVED] javascript problem on firefox Slackware64 14.2

Hello
After enabling multilib with

http://www.slackware.com/~alien/multilib/

instructions and

https://docs.slackware.com/slackware:multilib

"Keeping your multilib up-to-date"

But I didn't get any result. I'm assuming that i am using the last version.

I did

Code:

slackpkg upgrade-all

And it updated lot of packages.

But now on firefox I think I have problems with javascript. I can't see any videos on instagram and other sites.
But on Google Chrome they work fine...

My firefox shows the following add-ons

OpenH264 Video Codec
Shockwave Flash 11.2 r202
VLC media player Web Plugin 2.2.4
Java Plug-in 11.65.2

What is wrong?

I do not think that this has to do with javascript. Probably your firefox simply refuses to play flash movies? Firefox does no longer support flash afaik as it is considered insecure. Chrome does.

I removed flashplayer-plugin from Alien Bob (sorry about that)!
Installed Lightspark and its fine now.

Thanks!
