Good. Yes, it is a bit confusing, it needs a previous version in order
to be able to bootstrap.

I know you started installing yourself, then copied a plugin from
another distribution. My last guess is that you have a broken flash
installation. Just to be sure, I reproduce below the instructions I use:
After unpacked the tar.gz:
{{{
mkdir -vp /usr/lib/{mozilla/plugins,adobe-flashplugin} &&
rm -rfv usr/share/kde4 usr/lib* &&
chown -cR root:root * &&
install -m755 -d /usr/lib/adobe-flashplugin &&
install -m644 libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/adobe-flashplugin &&
cp -var usr/* /usr &&
ln -sv -f ../../adobe-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so \
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so &&
ls -lh --color /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so
}}}
If you are using kde, I guess you need to avoid the rm part.

I like having more than one browser. One of the reasons is exactly that:
comparing the behaviour in some situations.
But if you have almost everything to build midori, I would suggest you
do that. It is quick and some of the things I mentioned before would be
evident.

Now that you have curl and hicolor, perhaps rebuilding would be a good
choice. But it is so easy to reinstall flash plugin, that I would try
that, before.
