Then I cannot help you since I cannot reproduce the problem with stock KDE and
the only adobe's flash player plugin installed from my distro (ArchLinux).

You might want to report it that to your distro, but I doubt they would care if
Konqueror or reKonq or for that matter any small market browser is not working
correctly. After all that is why they install all that crap as a dependency by
default.
