If I understand the solution correctly, you will have to install 32 bit FireFox in order to have 32 bit FlashPlayer working.
Not True.
You can use _64 FF and Flash - it just requires nspluginwrapper
You should be installing via Yast and the repo’s really.
You have given me some clues to solve the problem.
First I will try what caf4926 has suggested.
Could you please tell me the exact name of the nspluginwrapper?
I will try to download it using YAST.
I have installed 64 bit open SUSE 11.0. My computer is a 64 bit one. The Firefox is bundled with the open SUSE 11.0 package. It should be the 64 bit version.
The thing is flash should just work out of the box. But anyway, now go to:
Yast - Software Management
Sort by Repositories (from the drop box-top left)
Select Mozilla
Now you should see the Packages for the Mozilla Repo on the right and probably you will see BLUE in the installed/avail column
Now go to the Package Tab (top left)
Go down the drop box to All in this List
select update unconditionally
check to see nspluginwrapper is marked as installed.
Click accept (lower right)
When done
Try FF
report back
if problem
open FF
in address bar type:
Today I found time at last to do this. I mean the step suggested byh caf4926.
Everything worked fine.
Finally I opened a webbrowser and wrote ‘about:plugins’.
The following is the output.
No plugins are installed
Find more information about browser plugins at mozilla.org.
Help for installing plugins is available from plugindoc.mozdev.org.
Gold, you now need to open a terminal as your user account and type the following without quotes “nspluginwrapper -v -a -i” That should install the plugins so that Firefox 64 bit can see them via nspluginwrapper.

I would like to install Opera via YaST Control Center. This helps to avoid all those unwanted dependencies.
Could you tell me the exact command to download Opera?
It is not installed by default.
How do I check plugins in Konqueror?
