There's a typo in the last link: it should be 
from 
/usr/X11R6/lib/linux-flashplugin6/flashplayer.xpt
to
/usr/X11R6/lib/firefox/plugins/flashplayer.xpt

I put my links into /usr/X11R6/lib/browser_plugins instead of firefox/plugins 
and I'm then able to view flash in konqueror as well as firefox.


Also I had to create a file named /etc/libmap.conf with the following in it:

# Flash6 with Konqueror
[/usr/X11R6/lib/linux-flashplugin6/libflashplayer.so]
libpthread.so.0                 pluginwrapper/flash6.so
libdl.so.2                      pluginwrapper/flash6.so
libz.so.1                       libz.so.3
libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3        libstdc++.so.5
libm.so.6                       libm.so.4
libc.so.6                       pluginwrapper/flash6.so
