No: mod4 is both slash

Try adding this to your ~/.Xmodmap and evaluating it as well:

  remove mod4 = Super_R
  remove mod4 = Hyper_L

Also add this if you're sure you don't want the actual slash to be
treated as mod4:

  remove mod4 = slash

And see if that resolves the problem.  Also, please tell if that makes
Firefox recognize the mapping as well.

Thanks.
