What version of Kubuntu are you using? In rekong go to Tools (the wrench) -> Configure - rekong. Click on Webkit and make sure you have autoload plugins.

kubuntufan, Firefox could be slow if you're running 13.04 due to this issue (also affects Thunderbird). There is a fix - it hasn't been pushed out yet but you can safely install it and it will help.

Patched package: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/...ched_amd64.deb

Download in rekonq and run. Click through the prompts to install and you're done.

How did you install Flash Player, by the way? Did you install it out of the repository?

Does this also happen in Chromium?
