Hi,

Well again: presently Konqueror plays Flash based sites just fine - 
Mythbrowser doesn't. I didn't install any flashplayer seperately, so my guess 
is it simply came with my distro - I vaguely remember agreeing to some EULA 
while installing.

I know Konqueror has different profiles, perhaps it has to do with that?


Thank you,


Bart
