I think Slack is actually using standardized tech that hasn't been implemented/or not implemented well in Firefox. Chrome doesn't have an ActiveX analogy. Anything you use in Chrome is based on a standard, although some, like the directory traversal, are standards that never saw completion and exist only because Chrome kind of jumped the gun and can't remove those things now.

Last time I checked, this was still the case with Google Hangouts, for instance, which used non-standard WebRTC. I don't know about Slack specifically, but third parties have been known to follow suit.
