        OK, so you have no Flash Player plugin now.
        Now reinstall the PPAPI version of the Flash Plugin from the link I gave you earlier.
        It should then work.
        I actually have the PPAPI and NPAPI versions both listed and have had no stability problems (touch wood!)
        🙂

          Okay I did just as you instructed, restarted my computer and opened my browser and it crashed. It recovered then posted this....Opera has just recovered from a crash. We've just recovered from a crash, but to do it we had to disable your extensions and wipe out your session. You can try to enable the extensions again in Extensions Manager. Sorry! If I don't go in and disable it it just keeps on crashing every time I open the browser.

            When you say "it" are you meaning the PPAPI Flash Player plugin?
            Is the browser completely stable if you have it disabled?
            🙂

              When I say "it" I'm referring to Opera. It crashes as fast as it recovers from the previous crash, (every few seconds). After doing that about 2 or 3 times Opera automatically disables it now. Yes, once Flash is disabled it's smooth sailing I'm just not able to watch videos on facebook or do anything on PicMonkey.com

                So it appears that any version of Flash, NPAPI or PPAPI, causes your Opera to repeatedly crash.
                That is very strange indeed, as no-one else to my knowledge has reported this.
                What extensions do you have installed, if any?
                🙂

                    Go to 'O-Menu / Extensions /' and what do you see there ?.

                      It says, "No extensions installed".

                        Try disabling all 'Plugins' temporarily, except the Adobe Flash Player Player PPAPI.

                          I went in and disabled all the plug ins and then went back and enabled Flash. My computer "blinked" and Flash was once again automatically disabled. 😞

                            I have previously been a frequent user of the Opera browser, but now it is not pleasant to use anymore. I have to deal with a lot of pop-ups and when you want to watch a video, this does not work with Adobe Flash Player.

                                I've been experiencing the same thing. At first, when I have opened Opera, the first five minutes were just crashing if I would try to load pages. Now, things are getting worse.
                                My Flash Player version is 16.0.0.287, PPAPI, but I had to deactivate it. And I thought at first it was the Stash, but Stash takes just some time to load, no problems.

                                I remember before the last updates, it wasn't that bad (maybe one or other time)
                                Sorry for reviving this post...

                                Another question: I have QuickTime and other plugins as NPAPI, does it make any problem??

                                  Crashes with old Flash Player may be a malware issue.
                                  .287 is not the current and safe Flash Player version.

                                  16.0.0.296 ist the current one without security holes!

                                    I updated it and it's still causing me troubles.
                                    Which program do you recomend me to test if there are any malwares?
