Maybe there's an obvious answer here that I'm missing, but why use 32 bit firefox and plugins when there are 64 bit flash and java plugins available? I've been using 64 bit flash ever since it was released last year and never had any issues. Download from here: http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/flashplayer10/libflashplayer-10.0.22.... Extract and copy the plugin to /usr/lib64/browser-plugins. Your 64 bit firefox should work with flash the next time you open it.
Epiphany says Flash successfully installed.I de-installed the OpenSUSE 64 bit Firefox and downloaded the 32 bit from Mozilla. I started ./firefox in the downloaded directory of the expanded firefox-3.0.8.tar.bz2. Lo and behold, Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686 _(x86_64)_; en-US; rv:1.9.0.8) emerges?! 64 Bit? I thought it is 32 Bit. In YaST, no firefox is installed. I am trying to get it all to 32 bit and get past the flash 64 bit problem.
If you still really really want to go ahead with your 32 bit version of firefox, you have to remove the plugins folder under the directory you expanded from your download and replace it with a symlink to /usr/lib/browser-plugins. It would probably be faster if you install the 32 bit version of firefox from yast (there's a versions tab where you can choose the version you want to install), as it will recognize the default opensuse browser-plugins folder location automatically.
Anyone succeeded in a 32 bit setup of Firefox and flashplayer on OpenSUSE 11.1 KDE 3.510 ....
