Flash player for either Konqueror or Firefox?

[Karl Denninger]

I got Opera to work with Flash7; will go back at Firefox with the 
wrapper program......

9 doesn't work AT ALL - attempting to go to any page that has flash 
content on it instantly blows up as soon as you navigate - even trying 
to leave!

Too bad Konqueror won't work.  That sucks; it would be awesome if it did 
- one tool for all.
