For debian based: use .deb
For red hat based, use .rpm
Source installs, use .tar.gz/bz
Yours is red hat based, so use the .rpm.
First I would try to get the firefox plugin. When firefox is open click on the Tools link at the top of the page and select addons, select get addons and search for adobe flash and install it.
If that doesn’t work you will have to download the program from adobe. I believe suse uses the rpm type files (package manager) and yast as the package manager.
The first link explains how to use yast. If you are going to be installing more programs it would be a good idea to keep this tutorial handy.
Good luck
