the newest Flash

[Constantinos Maltezos]

Well, after a recent update, nspluginviewer now crashes when Konqueror tries 
to view a web page that contains Flash content.  I do know that a new Flash 
was part of the update.  After a quick search, I found someone that said the 
latest Flash for Linux doesn't work in any browser not based on the gecko 
engine.  This is very disappointing, however I wonder if it's truly the case 
as I've heard no one ask about it here.  Has anyone had my problem and 
resolved it?  I must point out that Flash does work fine in Firefox.

If this really is a problem, I probably just have to wait until a patch is 
made for Konqueror to fix Adobe's mistake and in the mean time use Firefox 
when I need it.

And another thing, I am pretty darn sick and tired of going through my 
filesystem after an update and deleting all the instances of 
flashplugin-alternative.so that appear in all my plugin directories.  Flash 
never works in either browser while these stupid things are around.  And I 
tried to find out what package they belong to with dpkg -S, but apparently 
they belong to no package.  What the heck is going on with that?  I notice a 
flash installer on my system in /var/cache/flashplugin-nonfree - is that 
installed by the package for Flash and then run during the configuration?  
Might that be putting these stupid files on my system?  If there's any way I 
can stop it from doing so, I'd love to find out how.
