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.
