    Flash doesn’t work on Linux (Ubuntu 16.10). It says Flash player is not installed, which is not true (works perfecty fine with Firefox).

    • I had a similiar problem, I solved updating flash to 24, I had 23 that doesn’t work.

      • KTF

        I updated to version 24, so that shouldn’t be the problem. It might even be that it stopped working with the last flash update, a few days ago it was still ok, I’m not entirely sure. The Flash player doesn’t appear in opera://plugins.

      The right package to install is adobe-flashplugin from the Canonical’s ‘partner’ repository.

      • filbo

        Unfortunately, the Canonical package doesn’t include manifest.json, which makes some Chromium-based browsers less happy than you’d like.

    I’m still unable to use google maps and twitter (and maybe others) on Mac OSX 10.11.6. CPU overloaded, super-laggy incomplete maps, broken modal windows. Seems due to a buggy JS handling. Switching back to Opera 41.0.2353.69

    • Kornelia

      I’m using exactly the same OS X version and I’m not having any problems with google maps or twitter. What’s the problem? The page is not loading? Using adblock?

      • gino

        I’m getting what I described above since opera autoupdate last week. Tried disabling all extensions and own ad blocker: same result. Screenshots below, please note cpu and ram menu meters indicators.
        http://imgur.com/a/nTk3H

        Anyway no problem with Opera 41 and Opera developer 43.0.2431.0

        edit: the twitter one is supposed to be a foreground modal window of a tweet

        • Kornelia

          What Mac do you have? And have you changed “Use hardware acceleration when available” in Preferences? If not, please check if disabling it fixes your problem.

          • gino

            Thank you Kornelia for your support. I have a macbookpro 5,2 aka
            MacBook Pro “Core 2 Duo” 2.66 17″ (Unibody) 2009.
            Disabling “Use hardware acceleration when available” solves both the issues on this Opera 42 stable release.
            Anyway I must correct myself about other versions behavior with the hardware acceleration option enabled:
            on opera 41 stable mentioned above I have no problem at all;
            on opera 43 developer mentioned above I have no problem with twitter but laggy/hanging maps;
            tried also opera 42 beta 42.0.2393.78 and I have no problem with twitter but laggy/hanging maps.
            So mainly the issues seems to be on chrome >= 55.

  • Is not in the changelog but this release fixed also the “Default browser problem” for 64 bit users, atleast for me.

  • ktxgio

    Thanks for new release!

  • Nekomajin43

    Hi @kornelia_m:disqus !

    A few remarks on the video popup.

    This feature is the perfect example why the “finding the magic solution” strategy is wrong. After many months of developement, handling the video popup is still ridiculous.

    You should add a standard window frame, which is only visible when the mouse is over the popup. This frame should have four resizing areas, one in each corner. The other parts of the frame should work as moving areas. It is very hard to grab the edge of the popup without a thicker border.

    The popup should know which corner is the closest to itself, and use it as an anchor on resize. If I place the popup to the bottom right part of the screen, I want the top left corner to move, when the popup resizes itself due to the change in the aspect ratio.

    Before you ask, I wrote this two times months ago, but with every release, it’s just getting worse.

      Opera v42 x32 (or x86) build working fine here on windows 7 x64 home edition (not professional).
      x64 build is in testing in usb mode and seems to work fine

      • SebBot

        Well, it is “working” fine, ie, there are no unexplained crashes while browsing whatsoever. But opening the settings page, at least in my machine (and several others, if you’ve seen the thread) leads to an instant crash.
        I’ve tried reinstalling Opera, running it in safe mode, disabling AV and disabling gpu but to no avail.
        Heres a screenshot of the crash detail window, if it makes any difference:

        • ktxgio

          even setting page work fine here. is a stange bug! probably incompatibility with a driver? i don’t know…

          • SebBot

            Maybe. Cant really say. Frankly, this is really ridiculous. I have reinstalled Opera about 4 times now (different versions, that is, starting from v38 downloaded from Filehippo). All have the same problem. I’ve never really had to access the settings page from v30-v40. Now, I need to access it for turning ON the VPN.

            I’ve tried using a fresh preferences file, again, with no luck. My next (and final) try will be to trying to run Opera on a VM. If this doesn’t work, I will have run out of ideas.

            Seriously, I wouldn’t even have made this big a deal about it if it were possible to change the settings via command line or by modifying a text file(like the pre-15 versions)

            Thanks for trying to help, anyways.

    How to return the folder “Unsorted bookmarks”?

    • Leonardo Gomes

      I don’t think you can.

      • Nekomajin43

        I still have it. Do you think it will disappear only if I move my bookmarks from it?

        • Leonardo Gomes

          I thought they’ve removed it as I don’t see it anymore on all current versions.

          • Nekomajin43

            Well, it was a fallback folder if nothing else was selected, so if I have items in it, they can not move them to anywhere else.

        • Leonardo Gomes

          Hmm, maybe it gone for those who didn’t have any bookmark on it?

          • Nekomajin43

            It seems logical.

      • Vivaldi had the same issue (they posted in their teamblog)

      • TomEk

        There is also the same problem on opensuse
        But I thing the problem is
        Chromium 55 no longer uses the chromium-ffmpeg package
        So haw can we use the codecs with opera now?

    • L33t4opera

      Hi Andrew, the lib is ok, just the path to it in the Opera’s config file is different, you can do one of the following steps, to make it work:
      1. Navigate to the Opera’s root folder/resources, and open the “ffmpeg_preload_config.json” file in your text editor, replace:
      /usr/lib/chromium-browser/libs/libffmpeg.so
      with
      /usr/lib/chromium-browser/libffmpeg.so,
      or
      2. Navigate to the Opera’s root folder, create a new subfolder “lib_extra”, and create symbolic link to the lib inside this folder as follows:
      ln -s /usr/lib/chromium-browser/libffmpeg.so.

      • Andrew Andreyuk

        Or 3. create symbol link /usr/lib/chromium-browser/libs/libffmpeg.so -> ../libffmpeg.so

        It’s work now.

      • TomEk

        But there is no more libffmpeg.so in Chromium 55 and chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra is no more compatible with Chromium 55

          How are you installing it? For all users, standalone, what?
          Do you have admin rights?

          • Lim

            I do have admin rights. I downloaded the 64 bit version from the auto update. After I run it, it extract files for the new version and run the installer.

          • Leonardo Gomes

            Does it work if you choose standalone installation? Or maybe you can try a different installation folder.

          • Lim

            Standalone(default folder) doesn’t work but standalone / install for all user on different folder works.

          • Leonardo Gomes

            And that (different) folder is also in ‘Program Files’?

    Hello, I am using Opera browser on a 2K monitor. The words are not as clear as those for Chrome and other browsers. Would anyone have any idea?

  • Just Saying

    Opera auto-update hidden process now starts everytime I close Opera. I do it like a hundred times a day, there’s no need in checking updates so often. Can I somehow change this behavior?

    • oldq

      I’m sorry, google translation…

      after you close your browser while working opera_autoupdate process – before such was not why he continues to work and how to disable …? shutdown scheduler does not work, the removal of the .exe is not the best option … perhaps this is due to the preservation of information about open tabs that-be at the next time you open the browser, supposedly faster upload them – but I close all the tabs, and what have Auto Update …

      opera went in the wrong direction – opera developers believe that the browser should not be opened and closed as needed, and it must constantly be open with multiple tabs and permanent preservation process – update – Alert … those who do not need it, time to think about an alternative …

  • I just updated to 42.0.2393.94 a day or two ago on Debian Linux.
    I was logged in to google and various other sites — just a few minutes ago Opera decided to log me out of everything (it is almost like the login cookies had been cleared).

    Is anyone else having a similar issue like this (with 42.0.2393.94 or an earlier version) ?

    • Was the last time you logged into Google about 30 days ago?

      • I don’t really remember how many days ago I logged in to Google, I use various Google services everyday — so I don’t see why I would have been logged out (especially since I was still logged in just a few minutes before this happened).

        Maybe this was just a fluke or some transient issue…I don’t know.

    • Today I was just using opera and everything with my extensions were fine, but then out of the blue all of my extensions were magically disabled without permission.

      I was able to re-enable them manually, but I don’t know why this wold have happened and it seems really odd

      • Also it seems that after a while that ‘Opera Turbo’ gets re-enabled, for some reason.

  • alligoodw

    Something I’ve noticed about this build is the fact that it runs out of memory on my system. Using Windows 10 Home, version 1607, build 14393.576, when I view a lot of videos over a lengthen period of time, I’ve noticed a message come up noting that I’ve run out of memory and then Opera closes. Upon closing, Opera reopens itself presenting the page of choice that I’ve selected in Settings.

    I never experience this behavior with earlier versions of Opera.

    Java cannot verify the Java version on my Opera. The troubleshooting page says to enable the Java plug-in. But I cannot find the Plug-in section in the Settings on my Opera installation. (Which is the latest one.) It should be after the JavaScript section, but, instead, the Flash section follows the JavaScript section. I finally found the Plug-in section in the Developer menu item, but Java is not in the list of the installed plug-ins. Question, how do I enable Java (not JavaScript) in the latest version of Opera (42.0.2393.94 ) running on 64-bit Windows 7?
    And another question. How can I change the search engine from Yandex to Google in the search box on the speed-dial page?

        • Leonardo Gomes

          You can hide it in start page settings.

          • Jack Spider

            That I know. But I don’t want just to remove it, I want to change it to Google. I know that I can make a Google search box in the address line or simply enter the search term into the address line, but using the search box on the speed dial page is just a tiny bit more comfortable. And little things mean a lot. Or, perhaps, it’s knowing that something is being forced upon me that really bothers me. Anyway, thank you for the info.
