Flash player for either Konqueror or Firefox?

[Karl Denninger]

Hmmmm... what did you do to get that to work?

I have it working with Firefox with Flash7, but not 9.  However, 
Konqueror goes through the directories and finds nothing when I tell it 
to search.  Not sure what's wrong there... but it definitely doesn't work.
