I just installed Slackware 14.0 which included Firefox 15.0.1. I did not install libflashplayer.so yet Firefox plays youtube, etc. What is going on?

Searching for libflashplayer.so yields nothing, so I don't think it's on the machine. Slackware 14.0 Firefox 15.0.1

If you right-click the YouTube player, the context menu may provide a clue as to whether Firefox is using the native HTML5 player or whether a different plugin is being used.

hello, firefox can natively play webm-encoded html5 video - youtube offers a big share of its content in this format: www.youtube.com/html5
