I was upgraded to Adobe Flash 10.2 automatically via the updater. But it’s been VERY, very buggy whereas 10.1 (or whatever came before it) was very stable. How do I switch back?
dl and install for your version of openSuse software.opensuse.org: Search Results
probably also somewhere on the Adobe site
since it works very smoothly here (and so far you are the only one to
complain) why don’t you tell us the symptoms of the very buggy bugs…
and, be sure and log the bug,
http://en.opensuse.org/Submitting_Bug_Reports else it won’t get fixed…

Remember that the Flash-Player is a proprietary application, so reporting bugs to the openSUSE-Team most likely will not solve anything. If at all, it should be reported to Adobe.
6tr6tr is not the only one experiencing bugs with the current version. I occasionally →experience crashes with it, which never happened before - not too much of a big deal, since those crashes will not affect the running Firefox process. It can be solved by simply reloading the page, then it works. Basically I find this version a step forward, as it uses less cpu-power than prior versions.

I have that impression as well. So far I haven’t had the crashes (maybe one, more of a freeze really).
I should add that I actually had a hard time taking the screenshot in my prior comment, it took me about ten minutes and what felt like 80 clicks to make the Flash-Player crash. Only it never happened before, that’s why I mentioned it - anyway, I am mildly satisfied with this version (as satisfied as one can be with the Flash-Player…).

ok, i’ve seen several of those…had forgotten!!
but, back to the OP who wants to downgrade…as far as i remember the
earlier version would hang my FF up so bad i had to kill it because it
was strangling the entire desktop…
at least this flash is not only faster, it uses less cycles, crashes
less often and instead of holding the browser/desktop up for ransom,
it just pops up that kinda cute sad face…and usually, instantly is
ready to try again…

Flash has always crashed in my system, occasionally. Or I had to kill the
wrapper (/usr/lib/nspluginwrapper/i386/linux/npviewer.bin) because it was
taking a lot of cpu. I have seldom seen that window of your photo.

I also experience a lot of crashes which usually is not a problem (since firefox can just trap the extension) BUT when it’s in full-screen mode, I have to restart the computer via the power button when it crashes! Nothing else works.
Have you tried killing the X session (CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE)?
That has worked for me before, and recently when I locked up on 11.4 RC1 viewing HD video with Flash (but that’s 10.1). It logs off the userid, but avoids the power-off/on reboot.

what if you hold down Ctrl+Alt+F1
that should switch to a full screen terminal…give it maybe a
minute or two to “take hold” because that flash can eat up a LOT of
cycles…but, eventually it should dump you in a full screen
terminal…
then log in as yourself, and type in and enter
top
first on the list of application will be the flash application and it
will show it sucking up all the CPU, and in the first column of the
flash application’s line will be a four digit number, say 3705 (ok,
maybe five, but probably four) hit “q” to stop top and then type
kill 3705 (or what ever the number really is)
that should kill the flash, and if you then press Ctrl+Alt+F7 you
should return to your desktop environment, and in control again…
try it…

Yep, and it did nothing. I waited for 10 minutes and nothing happened.
I wait seconds and then repeat it, as it doesn’t always work first/second time.
