but still all embedded flash content gives the same "you need to install a flash player" message

Try:

(1) Uninstall the Flash package.

(2) Delete any extra files with "flashplayer" in its name in "/usr/lib/browser-plugins" and "/usr/lib64/browser-plugins".

(3) Reinstall Flash.

i'd like to thank everyone who tried to help it turns out i was led down the garden path by firefox itself -- when i upgraded to 9.0 from the suse repository it came up with a message telling me i should upgrade to the latest version from mozilla -- i did that, upgrading to 9.0.1 and that's when my problems began 9.0.1 won't run the latest flash plugin, or any other of my plugins i re-installed firefox 9.0 using yast and now about:plugins shows a slew of them, including the flash player, and i can again play flash video thanx again to all of you sc -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
