I think if you use the .tar.gz file from the Marcomedia website, you can 
install it even without root permission.
For me, I use mozilla and Konqueror also.  What I need to do is just 
tar zxvf the file.
then run the flashplayer-installer file by ./flashplayer-installer
then the script will lead me to choose which directory to install.
For me, it is .mozilla and .netscape, I choose to install to them all. 
Because mozilla needs .mozilla and Konqueror needs .netscape.
After install you will find two files(flashplayer.xpt  libflashplayer.so) 
in both .mozilla/plugins and .netscape/plugins directories. So I think if 
you cp them to the directory, it should also work.

However, I find a file named pluginreg.dat in .mozilla/, when using cat to 
see it, it appears like
[hutigers at www hutigers]$ cat .mozilla/pluginreg.dat
Generated File. Do not edit.

The default plugin handles plugin data for mimetypes and extensions that 
are not specified and facilitates downloading of new plugins.:$

As it says, it is generated. I think if you can not use the flash, you then 
can rename the file then it will generate again. Do this if what I say 
above does not work.
