And again, I had already written an answer to your last posting, but then 
my dreaded mouse problem in KDE4 happened again, and I forgot to save the 
mail as draft before logging out and in again.

Flash sometimes works with konqueror, sometimes not. Youtube videos play, 
and then just stop after a while.

Sometmies I see an empty space, sometimes I see that black youtube 
background with the white circles starting to circle around, then it 
freezes. On one try I saw the first frames of the video, then it stopped.

Current flash is 32bit only, Adobe did not release a 64bit version. I hope 
it will come, but I doubt it.
The former flash version was working fine in all browsers, but it has HUGE 
security problems, so better don't use it.

I had to add /usr/lib64/nsbrowser/plugins , then the Scan button found the 
plugins.
