You installed a 64bit version of openSUSE. Flash plugin still does not exist as 64bit.
There are multiple solutions (listed in order of stability):
- change your firefox to be a 32bit application (change it using yast, select the 32bit version). I actually thought that was standard on 10.3... but who knows.
- Install nspluginwrapper. It will help you use 32bit plugins in a 64bit firefox. Whereas it works mostly flawless, I encountered several moments when I had to kill the flash plugin to get control over my browser back

All those video and audio things are pretty difficult to deal with nowadays. Depending on what you're all after, I'd (List ordered to my preferences):

Thanks Dominique,
I do have 64bit Firefox, but I don't see how to select a 32bit version from YAST. All that's offered is an update to a slightly more recent version. Am I looking in the wrong place perhaps.
I can fix this by downloading and installing manually, but it would be nice to do to it the "right" way using YAST if I can. Can you point me in the right direction easily?
Meanwhile, VLC seems to be working great.
Many thanks,
Simon
