That's why I proposed to go back to the 32 bit firefox also on 64 bit
systems. In the current situation you get no java, a partly working
flash, and an unstable adobe reader plugin. It doesn't look a good
situation.

I actually think it's better to fix nspluginwrapper should there be a
problem. I have in plus also a VLC media player installed with a 64bit plugin
for firefox. Downgrading firefox to 32bit means, I need VLC in 32bit as
well... then I can as well just install the 32bit version of openSUSE...

That's ok, but it's always an unofficial workaround, and I would like to
avoid it in a default installation. It caused issues, and it will
probably cause again with the switch to new firefox releases

As reported by Sbrabec in the first bug report, the developer is not
that fast to answer too...

and according flash: I actually never had a problem with it on the factory
installation... I'm frequent user of youtube and of some flash game sites..
and this seems to work fine.

Try google finance for example. I can't see plots of stocks for example.

Regards,
Alberto
