I just finished re-installing everything “java” and “Adobe” from the repo, and nothing is being blocked.
Where is an “updated” version of Adobe Flash Player in the repository? If it’s there, I don’t see it.
What can I do?

Video plays on my machine with openSUSE 12.1, Firefox 14.0.1 and
Flashplayer 11.2.202.236.

When you are back, can you check whatever addon’s you have installed if
maybe one of them blocks this video for you?
I have ghostery and addblock plus active, none of those block the video
for me so that it runs flawless in my flashplayer, but maybe you have
something different which blocks it and it is not in any way a
flashplayer problem on your system.

Confirm that you have the latest by
rpm -q flash-player
(should give you flash-player-11.2.202.236-24.1)
and compare that version with what you get when you play a working video
and right click into the flash window (it should tell you exactly the
same version).

Not quite what you’re after perhaps, as I’m not using Firefox, but the link plays fine on my system both with Konqueror (webkit) and Opera, using Flash version 11.1.102.63 (not the latest one).
Plugins:
IcedTea-Web Plug-in (IcedTea-Web (suse-3.1-x86_64))
NPAPI Plugins Wrapper 1.4.4
Shockwave Flash 11.2 r202
Shockwave Flash 10.1 r999 Gnash 0.8.11dev (disabled since uninstalling Gnash)
Silverlight Plug-In 3.0.40818.0
Skype Buttons for Kopete (not sure why this is in here)
VLC Web Plugin 2.0.3 Twoflower
Windows Media Player Plug-in 10 (compatible; Moonshine Media Player)
Why do Java, Silverlight, Adobe Acrobat and other plugins no longer work? | Firefox Help lists the following:
Windows Media Player Plug-in 10 is “Unknown plugin”
Silverlight Plug-In is “Outdated Version”
Shockwave Flash 11.2 r202 is “Up to date”
VLC Web Plugin 2.0.3 is “Up to date”
NPAPI Plugins Wrapper 1.4.4 is “Unknown plugin”
IcedTea-Web Plug-in is “Unknown plugin”
Skype Buttons for Kopete is “Unknown plugin”
These player problems only began when I “updated” Firefox from v14.0.0 to v14.0.1, but I don’t see others saying much about it in the Firefox forum, and don’t see versions in the opensuse repos that cure anything either.
Maybe try resetting or refreshing the plug-in list. I don’t know how Firefox does this but it sometimes happens that I need to refresh the plugins list manually in Konqueror to have them working properly, e.g. after installing/uninstalling something which falls under that category. Perhaps it is a problem that gnash is still present on your list?

Good idea for Maximillium as well to test it with an alternative browser
I think.

Hi, “Sauce”:
I don’t think Firefox does this at all, at least from the usual user interfaces - maybe in “about:config”, but I’m not all that comfortable there. I have just uninstalled Gnash and Kopete using Yast2 and am about to reboot.
Interesting avatar, there … self portrait?
Rebooting now…
I took out these two from Firefox after uninstalling them with Yast2:
Shockwave Flash 10.1 r999
Gnash 0.8.11dev Skype Buttons for Kopete
There did seem to be some kind of competition between Adobe and Gnash - Gnash was doing the work but is not much of a player; it reacts slowly to settings changes, takes 3 mouse clicks to get it into full screen mode, and doesn’t get the syncing of voice/lips quite right, which looks a little strange.
I would gladly revert to Firefox 14.0.0 and whatever it used for Adobe video plugins - but it just ain’t in the repository anymore. Seems like that’s an error too - we should be able to revert to an earlier version if we want, but where are they?
So now some videos play (youtube, etc.) and some don’t - my current example is one of the videos on TED that I referred to above. Others on TED seem to play O.K. Go figure.
I think we’re just screwed until Firefox and Adobe get their bleep together…
Thank-yous to Martin, Sauce, & caf for trying to help.
