(downloading to the /var/cache/flashplugin-nonfree)
2) unpack install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz
3) install libflashplayer.so

Topic: flashplugin r115 update breaks Konqueror

Why Flash sucks | kdedevelopers.org
As one of my colleagues notes, this statement holds true on its own. However, for those like me too blind to see some things, there are two things about Flash you should know:

2. The latest Flash update does not work with anything that is not Gecko-based.
Do the maths yourself. Or just watch it happen as soon as your distribution's update hits your machine...
