I am stuck taking this stupid online training course from work. It just
sits there doing nothing with firefox, so I pulled up konqueror, and tell
it to lie and say it's IE. That works... until it gets to the content,
which some HR moron is *positive* desperately needs to be in flash.
I've gone into konqi's configuration, and told it to scan the correct
directory for plugins, and yet a) I see no easy way to find out what
plugins are installed, and b) it can't seem to see libflashplayer.so.
Clues for the poor?

That works... until it gets to the content, > which some HR moron is *positive* desperately needs to be in flash.<snip> Very late into this thread, but I will throw my 2 cents into the pot. I use Firefox 3.6.17 on CentOS 5.6 and it works. Probably fooling the web site you need to use, into thinking you are using IE, and not FF, is the way to go. I also installed Konqueror on this box, when I installed CentOS 5.. My belief is that Konqueror is not being updated, but possibly I am wrong about that. The last copyright date in the "help" About Konqueror, shows 2005..... That said, from time to time one of my cousins forwards things to me and the only way I can dig the contents out is with Konqueror. Hopefully, you solved this, a long time ago.
