Q
What is Konqueror's User Agent string?
A
There is no definite answer to this question.
The HTTP_USER_AGENT http header and the properties of the window.navigator JavaScript object have been subject to change during the last KDE releases. Additionally, the user can modify the UA information on a domain-by-domain basis pretending to have any other browser in existence.

Q
Where does the name Konqueror come from?
A
It's a word play on the other browsers' names. After the Navigator and the Explorer comes the Conqueror; it's spelled with a K to show that it's part of KDE. The name change also moves away from "kfm" (the KDE file manager, Konqueror's predecessor) which represented only file management.
Q
Why does Konqueror crash on every page with Flash? (old)
A
This could be 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.

Q
Where does Konqueror store its history, and how do I erase it?
A
There are several kinds of "history" stored by Konqueror.
The location bar combobox items and completion: you can clear those with right-click, "Clear History".
The history module in the sidebar: you can clear it with a right-click on one of the host names, and selecting "Clear History".
The HTTP cache (known as "Temporary Internet Files" in other environments) can be cleared in the KControl module called "Cache", using the "Clear cache" button on the bottom right.

This is of course the same for any other KDE application.
