I'm having the same problem and am as confused. My KDE and Konqueror is 2.2
and my plugins are in ~/.netscape/plugins/. I've heard version 5 of Flash is
a bit dodgy - can anyone confirm this?
Also, are you running Konqueror in a full KDE desktop? I run Enlightenment
and have noticed some of the wizzier functions only work when I start a full
KDE session.
Cheers,
David.
