flash (youtube) works in firefox, but not in konqueror

[Oleg Goldshmidt]

Hi,

I wonder if anyone has seen/solved the following problem:

Fedora 10 on x86_64 (AMD) with kdebase-4.2.0-2.fc10.x86_64,
firefox-3.0.6-1.fc10.x86_64, kernel-2.6.27.12-170.2.5.fc10.x86_64,
libflashplayer-10.0.d21.1.linux-x86_64.so.tar.gz from Adobe installed
as /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so.

Firefox shows flash (e.g., youtube videos) perfectly. In konqueror I
don't even *see* the black/grey "screen" on youtube pages.

The /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins is the first in the directory list in
konqueror, the .so shows as the first plugin, for
application/x-shockwave-flash MIME type (swf file type) and
application/futuresplash MIME type (spl file type). I did rescan for
plugins and restarted konqueror multiple times, I tried removing
nspluginwrapper and installing gstreamer-plugins-ugly and dependencies
(various suggestions I found after googling) - nothing helps. Changing
the browser identification to firefox does not help either.

I would really like to do my browsing in konqueror (I like it much
better than FF, my religion is better than yours, sorry), but for
flash I now have to start FF.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
