Interesting.  libflashplayer.so and flashplayer.xpt are already found in 
<userhome>/.mozilla/plugins.  However they are not to be found 
in /usr/lib/firefoxplugins, /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins 
or /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugins.  Also, libflashplayer.so is listed as 
one of the installed konqueror plugins.  Nevertheless, flash won't work in 
either konqi or mozilla. ???

Still frustrated.
