I've encountered the exact same problem !
I have the same problem too!
I can reproduce this most of the time. Looks pretty much nspluginwrapper related. It's in general very unstable on 11.3 for me. But I fear we cannot do much about it. Adobe stopped publishing their x86-64 Flash plugin for now unfortunately.
I googled for the NSPlugin error string. Google showed me a bug for this in RedHat's bugzilla, which is not surprising since I run Fedora Core 12, in 32 bit mode. And google showed me an email on the openSuse bug email list, which led me to your bugzilla. Your bug looks very much like the RedHat bug. See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=622416
And while I'm at it, the same error message appears on a Mandriva email list at http://forum.mandriva.com/viewtopic.php?t=115338 I'm not sure if it's exactly the same because that email thread is in French and far exceeds the French vocabulary that remember from school many years ago.
and because I just tried. Adobe released a new Flash preview for x86-64: http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashplayer10/ I'm running with that now and even if it is a preview it looks much more stable than the nspluginwrapper way.
Reproduced and solved using the latest Adobe Flash player beta release (10.2.161.0), as well it fixes more stability problems on 64 bit systems such as frequent playback interruption while browsing on different tabs with flash contents.
well that update is not "officially" availabe. repos only have 10.1 in connection with nspluginwrapper. nevertheless i can confirm all is fine with flash 10.2
IMHO this is WONTFIX. Likely nobody @openSUSE is able to fix it as nspluginwrapper has major issues and a non-official workaround is available. @sbrabec, other opinion?
If it isn't fixable, any way to advise users the workaround? It's really a critical bug, causing a lot of problems while browsing. Next openSUSE release is far.
in the OBS there are some 64bit flash plugins (for the beta release). it's simply copying libflashplayer.so to /usr/lib64/browser-plugins/ I did one myself: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=flash-player&project=home%3AlOtz1009
Closed as WONTFIX. An official 64Bit update of flash player seems to take some time from now. With the preview of flash player 10.2 it's working, easily installable via OBS.
