Hi Ted. I can only say what I have in Konqueror on FC2. In Settings >

Plugin           /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so

I think all I had to do was, using the "Scan" tab, was to click on the "Scan 
for New Plugins" box, making sure that the "Enable plugins globally" box is 
checked, and that libflashplayer.so is in the correct mozilla/plugins folder, 
as sometimes there is more than one version of mozilla in /usr/lib.

For example, I've just looked in /usr/lib on FC2, and strangely have 9 
different versions of Mozilla there. Some with directories/files missing, but 
the important ones appear to be the plain old "mozilla" one, which I had put 
(or already was there) flashplayer.so, and flashplayer.xpt, in the only 
directory there, the plugins one, and the latest version, mozilla-1.7.13, 
which contained all the directories, and files, and I put flashplayer.so in 
the plugins directory there as well, along with flashplayer.xpt.

All the best. Nigel.
