I found a fix,

In Opera preferences -> Privacy & Security -> under the "Block third-party cookies and site data" Click Manage Exceptions.. -> Add www.youtube.com and then add https://apis.google.com

(I think it is https://apis.google.com that is needed for the comments as it uses 3rd party cookies https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/151657?hl=en#)

@shtyrec:

Open a command prompt (I do it by opening the Run window and typing "cmd", without the quotes);

In the command prompt change directory to the Opera application folder (on my x64 computer this is C:\Program Files (x86)\Opera);

Then, in the command prompt type "launcher --presto-small-prefs-dir={ROAMING_PROFILE_DIR}", without the quotes, replacing {ROAMING_PROFILE_DIR} with the folder that contains your Opera 12 profile (ie the folder that contains your Opera 12 bookmarks.adr). For me that folder was C:\Users{MY USER NAME}\AppData\Roaming\Opera\Opera.

This will launch Opera 20, replacing the profile with the converted Opera 12 one.

Why do many people fail to mention the version of Opera they are using ?, surely it's a vital piece of information that should not be omitted ?.

It's like someone complaining that their cash card does not function or does no work with this service or that payment system without actually specifying which cash card they are using.

I've been a long-time Opera user from the 90s, and version 12 is still working fine for most of my needs. However, the Flash Video Downloader extension has stopped working with Youtube, and so I'm forced to consider upgrading to Opera 20 to get the new FVD extension.

But everything I'm reading about Opera 20 is making me think it's not worth it! As long as I can install it as a standalone, then I might still do that.

If I could just get FVD's 1.8 extension to work again in downloading Youtube videos on Opera 12, I'd be happy right back at version 12.

There's an option regarding this on opera:flags.
But it doesn't work with stopped downloads, no matter is they are stopped by error or a user. Only restart is avalible at that point.

There is a setting in the text file "Local State" where Opera stores your location, we had a user in the old forums who had traveled to another country and returned who was getting a completely wrong version of Google - I suggested changing that setting and he said it worked.

Here is what it looks like in my settings:
"location": { "country": "us", "country_from_server": "US", "timestamp": "1384558601600000000" },
Not sure about the timestamp - he reported that it didn't seem to matter, so just try changing the other two as in my settings (for a US location you'd get google.com) and see what it does for you.

This is a new security feature of Opera 20. The broken padlock symbol is new to make you aware of content that's not loaded via https although you are using an https-connection.
There's nothing broken about it. It's just a new information.

You cannot add new
What you're seeing is just a transitory space to check your old bookmarks. From there you can actually import them into the browser.

I think you're given the choice to import them to the Speed Dial or the bookmarks bar if you enable it in the settings.

The Bookmark importer in More tools is grayed out.
If for some reason, the "Bookmark Importer" doesn't work for you, then you can try to use, one of the tips, provided here.
