Well then not sure what is the issue in your particular machine. The usual
cause of flash crash on openSUSE used to be the nspluginwrapper, but you do not
seem to have that installed.

Nope. I really tried to make nspluginviewer the default flash handler, going as
far as making it the default flash handler when QtWebKit's support for flash
was horrible. That however was reverted back to QtWebKit's implementation once
the flash support there became much more stable and more functional than what
nspluginviewer provided. See bug# 232736 for the details.

The only option for achieving that in QtWebKit based browsers is to use the
nspluginwrapper. And since you are using Qt 4.8, the fixes that were made in
QtWebKit for those using nspluginwrapper should be there. Until QtWebKit
decides to embed the flash plugin using a separate process or webkit2 with its
separate process model becomes useful that is the only viable option available.
