I am running the 64 bit openSUSE 11.1 and with firefox 3.0.5 and adobe flash 10 I firefox does not seem to see that I have flash installed.

Here is a list of flash related plugins that I have installed
vendion@Big-O:~> sudo zypper se flash

If I remember correctly didn’t Adobe flash 10 have support for 64 bit OSes?

Just read on openSuSE Lizards: openSUSE Lizards » Howto - Adobe Flashplayer for X86_64. :wink:
Good luck.

/usr/lib/mozilla does not exist on my system, I am looking for its location on my system now though.

Take look to comments on the blog. Somebody put it into /usr/lib64/browser-plugins and said that it works. You can also try this.
Good luck.

Thanks, that second comment was not there the first time I looked at it. Flash is working now.
