Could this be because you've installed one correctly packaged for the distribution and not followed a Firefox 'download latest version' link?
This had to have been the difference, Basil. I'd neglected to add the upstream openSUSE 'Mozilla' repository, also. Like the OP, I only had an 'official' package for Firefox at 9.0 available. Once I added the upstream Mozilla repository for 11.4, the distribution I'm running:
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/mozilla/openSUSE_11.4
9.0.1 became available to install. I have just installed it and my plug-ins are working fine.
That's the difference between installing a generic package from an outside source vs. installing one correctly packaged for your distribution.
Lest anyone believe it dangerous or unwise to run anything but openSUSE packaged versions on 11.4 or any other openSUSE release, I've been running multiple versions for close to a decade. Virtually constantly I have open 9.0.1, 3.6.24 & 2.0.0.20, plus SeaMonkey 2.6.1 & 2.7beta<latest> simultaneously, with at least 80 tabs among them. Only 3.6.24 & 2.6.1 are "installed" from any openSUSE repo. The rest come from Mozilla.org mirrors ready to extract and run. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
