Intro
Deus Ex's flamethrower is, in my opinion, one of the strongest weapons in the game. It can effectively defeat most non-robotic enemies in the game even when the player has a low Heavy Weapons skill. Given the weapon's power, one might assume that ammunition is rare, when in fact, the opposite is true: napalm in Deus Ex is quite common and readily available. Additionally, every napalm canister pick-up provides a generous 100 units of fuel for use (However, Flamethrowers taken from enemies will only give you 1-4 units).

Also, please excuse the constant 'Light Activated' messages.
Battery Park
The first flamethrower you can find in Deus Ex comes from a patrolling NSF Terrorist inside Castle Clinton on a walkway.

In the Castle Clinton computer room, behind a locked door there is a canister of Napalm on a shelf.
Second flamethrower in Battery Park is in the subway station, wielded by an NSF Terrorist.
Hell's Kitchen, First Visit
You can find a flamethrower in the Osgood and Sons building on the ground floor, behind the door which leads to the NSF compund map and inside of a crate.
A canister of napalm can be found within the sewers. This is only accessible after speaking to Smuggler about finding Ford Schick. It is well hidden inside of a corridor, wedged between some pipes.
NYC Subway and Lebedev's Airfield
You can find a flamethrower on a table in the room of the NSF terrorist cell leader in the Mole Peoples' train tunnel.

An NSF terrorist who patrols the underground helipad below LaGuardia carries a flamethrower.
Finally, the NSF terrorist who patrols the docks will also carry a flamethrower.
Hell's Kitchen, Second Visit
Before activating the NSF distress signal, Smuggler offers some napalm for a fairly steep price.
Majestic 12 Labs and UNATCO Escape
The only canister of napalm in this section of the game can be found in the armory of the Majestic 12 facility.
Hong Kong, Wan Chai Market and Canals
In the Hong Kong canals, a Chinese Military soldier carries a flamethrower.
Also in the canals, there is a large boat that is filled with toxic gas with a hatch on top you can unlock or destroy with an explosive. It also contains a canister of napalm.

Should you talk to Maggie Chow when first confronting her, she will give the code to the Wan Chai police station. Inside, there is both a canister of napalm and a flamethrower (along with a lot of other goodies).
Hong Kong, Versalife
Inside the Versalife Pacific Rim Research Facility Labs, there will be a Majestic 12 soldier and a Men-in-Black who carry a flamethrower. The MJ12 trooper patrols near the scientist conference rooms and armory on the upper level and the MiB is on the basement lab floor.
When Tracer Tong asks you to seek the alternate entrance to Versalife's Level 2 labs, there will be an incredibly well hidden flamethrower stuck on a pipe in the Canal Road Tunnel. You can either stack a nearby metal crate or jump with the upgraded Speed Enhancement augmentation to reach it.
Brooklyn Naval Shipyards
With the final visit to Hell's Kitchen lacking any napalm ammo pick ups, we move onto the NYC Naval Base. On top of a shipping container behind one of the warehouses in the first map of the base, there is a crate, and within the crate there is a canister of napalm.
Paris, Denfert-Rochereau
You begin Paris with Jock letting you off on a rooftop. On this rooftop, there is a small shack which contains a canister of Napalm.

On the same map, there is a metro station with two Majestic 12 troops and a security bot patrolling. One of these MJ12 will be wielding a flamethrower.
Paris, Catacombs
Shortly after entering the Paris catacombs, there will be a donut shaped room with a small duct through the side you can crawl into. A ladder quickly leads to a small room with a crate and a lockpick, the crate contains some napalm.

Following the the tunnel out, you'll happen across two gossiping MJ12 troopers. One carries an assault rifle, and the other: a flamethrower.

Deeper into the catacombs, you will come across a ladder which leads up to a room with a damaged power box and a repair bot locked behind a fence door. Freeing the bot by unlocking or destroying the door will allow it to repair the shorting power box. Alternately, use the upgraded Speed Enhancement augment to jump onto the rafters and bypass the electricity. Your reward will be a multitool, some tech goggles and a canister of napalm (there are some 20mm HE grenades in the rafters as well).

Within the bunker where the Silhouette hostages are being held, an MJ12 trooper with a flamethrower will be standing guard on the west end.
Paris, Champs-Élysées and the Knights Templar Cathedral
After making your way out of the sewers and into Paris's business district, you run the risk of getting roasted by an MJ12 trooper hanging around with a flamethrower.
On the northeast exterior of the cathedral, next to the trellis, there will be a canister of napalm in a crate.
Finally, on the cathedral map a trooper with a flamethrower will be chatting by the fireplace in the dining room next to the cathedral's kitchen.

To my knowledge, there is no flamethrower ammo in either DuClare's Chateau or Everett's Chateau. Also Gunther, as those daring to fight him without his killphrase or explosives might learn, totes a flamethrower. Of course, you cannot take it since he explodes on death.
Vandenberg
Inside the main building of Vandenberg, next to the flooded lab, a couple of MJ12 troopers will be hanging out with a scientist. The middle trooper carries a flamethrower. Outdoors, and in the military robot bay, there is a canister of napalm in a crate behind a machine.

Within Vandenberg's tunnels there is a flamethrower perched on a ledge. You can either stack the metal crates or jump with the Speed Enhancement augmentation to reach it.
Ocean Lab
In the on-shore lab module, there is a hatch behind some metal crates on the floor in the room that has a bunkbed and a table. Going down the ladder, you will find some ductwork you can crawl through, and also a canister of napalm in a crate.

On the outside catwalk, there will be an MJ12 trooper who patrols with a flamethrower.
Area 51
Clearly, the developers intended the player to begin roasting enemies, because right at the start of Area 51, in the hanger labeled 37a, there is a whopping 300 total rounds of napalm to be had. One flamethrower and two canisters are your reward for modest exploration of the hanger.
Deep down in Area 51, in the Aquinas Hub, there is a keypad locked storage room. Opening the door yields some napalm in a crate.
On the south side of Sector 4, close to the irradiated room with a Blue Fusion Device, and a within locked box will be the final napalm canister of Deus Ex.
