<![CDATA[[Solved]PLUGINS]]>WHERE is the plugins menu?

If you have disabled plugins from the previous versions, is there no way to re-enable them without manually editing config files?

I use the browser as an alternative to FF. I'm considering this a mistake by the developers but the campaign integration + speed tile ads are a step in the wrong direction.

Reverting to 43 because I can't access a plugin to tick a switch may be easier than trying to find the file to edit and toggle the plugin...

Should I try beta/nightly? Do they still have the plugin menu?

Had to play with the checkbox, close opera, open opera, check/uncheck.

Eventually in settings "Open PDF files in the default PDF viewer application." it worked by unchecking it and the internal PDF viewer handles it once more. I didn't have foxit or any other plugins, just the native one.

Thanks all.
The native PDF renderer is very good and I missed it. :norris: #checknorris

OP SOLVED

None of the PDF options work in any setting

So if you un-check the option to open PDFs in default viewer, they are not opened in the internal PDF reader?

I just want this PDF to work. Every time I open a PDF it saves itself in a loop. I must close the browser or I will eventually get low space warning. This was because I disabled the Chrome PDF plugin in the previous version. I thought the behavior carried over. None of the PDF options work in any setting 😕

Now I can't fix the problem unless I reinstall Opera, which I will do and erase any leftover reg entries and dirs.

Also, I am glad plugins are gone. I never made one but I played with extensions. Mentioning PPAPI Flash, I'm sure that is a reference to security and plugins. FF did something like this not too long ago.

I should really be thankful its gone since the first thing I do when I install a browser (and it's a zen-like experience for me) is harden all the flags. :party:

It's not going to matter too much, I could just wait for when we install the new Windows 10.
