That's

/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins

unless it's very recently changed.  I've copied the flash plugin to 
there (and, BTW, I've found that to do so, it works).  But then a

removepkg flashplayer

does nothing.  (instead, you must go to the folder and remove the 
flashplayer).

So, **it depends upon what you want** (as to a whether or not a slack 
pkg is needed).

Go slackbuilds admins and contributors and thank you very much for the 
super fine, excellent job that all of you do.

It's on my wish list that when I get enough time that I'd then 
sufficiently learn the slackbuild.whatever_app script
