New flashplater32pp_fa_install .... Now I can't enable to flash player. When I run applet, I get the download a new version again and it's showing not installed. I can enable an exception, but this only last during the current session, if I stop opera, I have to add the exception again.
I no longer see the options in plugin to allow sites to run flash.
I get Flash
Your Flash settings will be kept until you quit Opera.
Ask first
Block
No sites added
Allow
[*.]xxxxx.com
https://xxx-xxx-004-p:443after i restart opera. The Allow / exception is gone and I have to re-add it.
This was working fine with this release of opera and the older version of flash player.
What happend to Allow site to run flash option.

@lonlewis54 It's part of the roadmap to end support for Flash by the end of the year.

yes nice but of the people who still have browser games and still need flash, nobody thinks again? In a way, it's a bottomless cheek to handle it that way and as a long-time Opera user I'm very upset about it

@leocg This is very disappointing. I like opera browser, but without flash support I will have to abandon it. I'm using vmware web tools and haven't adopted the HTML yet. I just went back to chrome today.
Chrome and Firefox got to bulky .. don't know what options i'll see with edge.
Really appreciate the reply as yesterday was very frustrating for me as I tried to get it working. Didn't know if it was adobe or opera.
It's odd you can configure "exceptions", but only per session.

@lonlewis54 It's not a Opera only decision. Adobe, the maker of Flash, will stop developing it in December 31, 2020 as announced by them in 2017.
Even before that, Chromium - in which Opera, Chrome and other browsers are based - started a roadmap to make the web more plugin free. Firefox and others also announced the same.
So, basically, starting from January 2021 almost all browsers will stop supporting Flash.

@jan64x If you goto the URL
opera://settings/content/flash, you will see an "ask first" option. By default it's disabled, which means "Block sites from running Flash (recommended)".So, by default, Flash is blocked on every site. If you enable "ask first", it means "When encountering Flash, ask the user if they want to allow it for the site or not".
The "Your Flash settings will be kept until you quit Opera" warning on the page applies to all the Flash settings there. That means, when you close Opera, "Ask first" will be disabled (not in Chrome though. It will stay on, but warn you at startup that it's on), and the allow and block lists will be cleared.
If for some reason "Ask first" keeps reverting to enabled when you explicitly turn it off, that means there's something messed up with your preferences file.
If you really want Opera to not use Flash, uninstall it from your system. It doesn't come with Flash like Chrome does.
