Yeah Konqueror seems to be a really failing browser, even worse than
Opera. Someone sent me this via email:

:Why does Konqueror crash on every page with Flash?
:
:This is a result of a clashing symbol in both the flash plugin and the
:XFree86 libGLU (OpenGL utility lib). Upon closing an embedded flash
:view, the wrong function is called which heavily corrupts memory and
:leads to either immediately or delayed crashes, lockups and worse.
:The only solution that is currently known is either to install Qt
:without OpenGL support or to not use the Flash plugin. You can't
:combine both until this symbol clash is somehow solved. Unfortunately
:we cannot do much about this issue, unless Macromedia is willing to
:help. Another reason for Konqueror to crash on every page using a
:Netscape plugin is the use of gcc3. Plugins can't work with gcc3
:because they are linked to gcc2's libstdc++, which is incompatible
:with gcc3's libstdc++.
