Flash player for either Konqueror or Firefox?

[Dave Grochowski]

Hey,

Konqueror should work with nspluginwrapper, since it will search all of 
Mozilla's and Firefox's plugin directories for plugins. Using 
nspluginwrapper, I have Flash 7 working with Konqueror under a 
relatively recent 6.2-STABLE. However, some Flash based sites don't work 
correctly, such as Toyota's site. For the most part, though, it works fine.

Sincerely,
Dave Grochowski
