How do I run a 32-bit browser on a 64-bit OS? Flash doesn't work in 64-bit, unfortunately. Thanks!

Uninstall the 64 bit Firefox first. Then install the 32 bit version. For that, use Yast in which the software repositories set (you will need perhaps 1-3 repositories). Search for Firefox, and on the lower right side open the tab of versions. Select the 32 bit, latest version.

Switching to 32 bit Firefox is the right decision.

In case you use only flash, java-plugin .. maybe I ran 64bit firefox for some time, and I have enough of nspluginwrapper. I changed to 32bit firefox and it's not the ultimate solution. I'm using mplayer-plugin and there is no way (dependencies h***) to use 32bit mplayer / smplayer / mplayer-plugin on 64bit system Looks like I'm after a year or so switching back to 32bit suse when opensuse 11 comes ..

Hmm, my Firefox says it's x86_64 and I'm viewing Flash (when I choose do, I have the Flashblock add-on installed) just fine. Didn't bother with the Java plugin though.

Make sure you have nspluginwrapper installed
