64 bit flash

Hello SuSE people, I am running a 64 bit Firefox. Many webpages I visit tell me I do not have flashplayer installed and some will not even open. Other pages offer to download and install it. Tried that once and it killed Firefox. Found out via this list, ( Joe Morris I think ?? ) that there is not a compatible flashplayer for the 64 bit Firefox. Any ideas on how to get around this ??
