Plugin needed

What type of plugin do I need to make it work?

I just like Slackware because I think it teach you about Linux to build packages where Ubuntu is like Windows you just install programs you want.

What Add-ons do you currently have installed in Firefox? Menu > Tools > Add-ons > Plugins

I have the OpenH264 Video Codec and Shockware Flash 24.0 plugins and the video plays for me.
