The problem is in fact likely the flash version.  Xulrunner is most
likely simply not finding any plugins, because it is likely looking a
different directory from Firefox.  To have xulrunner find your plugins,
make sure the environment variable MOZ_PLUGIN_PATH is set to the
directory containing your browser plugins.  (On Gentoo, for instance,
that would be /usr/lib/nsbrowser/plugins.  Other distributions probably
have different paths.)

Either set things up so that this environment variable is set all of the
time, or alternatively if you currently run conkeror using some shell
script, put e.g.:

export MOZ_PLUGIN_PATH="/path/to/your/plugins"

before you execute conkeror.

Someone else who knows better than I do will have to respond.  I don't
believe it is related to Konqueror.
