      The following error keep on appearing when i open links or new websites while playing youtube video. However, this issue not occurs if dont play youtube video. I tried all the solutions but no success. Also, i set website location settings as "Do not allow any site to track my physical location" in opera.

      This error only appears in opera and not occurred in other browsers(IE 11, Chrome, Firefox). I am really frustrated with this issue and i dont want to switch the browser.

      Is there any solutions for that?

            It says that you have installed an extension named "Niftyplayer.swf" which is causing the issue, you'll have to disable or remove - or perhaps update - the extension to resolve the problem.

              Thanks for the reply. i was trying to figure out which extension causing the problem and from last 2 days even youtube videos are not loading. Finally, i found the culprit who causing the issue. Its adblock extension is reason for that problem. This is what i did.

              1. Disable the adblock extension
              2. Close the browser.
              3. Goto flash settings in control panel and block the s.ytimg.com from settings ->Local storage settings by site
              4. Open the browser
              5. Enable the adblock

              It drove me crazy for weeks and glad i found the solution. Hope it help others who has similar problems.

                  On the extensions folder, look for the one that has ofol...fnkl.

                      @m2gamer, is your problem identical with the details of the original post (including use of niftyplayer)? If not, you'll need to supply some additional details about what you're seeing, the conditions under which it occurs, and some information about your OS, version, Opera version, etc.

                          Windows 7 64 bit
                          Opera 18.0.1284.68

                          Anytime I use flash through videos , music, etc if I try and do something outside of that it stops the video and brings up that error and occasionally even if i don't do anything else the error about s.ytmg will come up and yes it is the nifty player as well

                          My account was banned for what i'm guessing was sending a link to the issue i will try sending it this way hopefully to better effect.

                            Follow below steps.

                            1. Goto: C:\Users\<Your Username>\AppData\Roaming\Opera Software\Opera Stable\Extensions
                            2. You can find the folder named "ofaold....fnkl"
                            3. Select the folder and delete it
                            4. Done. Enjoy without that annoying error.
                            5. Dont forget to restart the browser.

                            Let me know it it works.

                                You are welcome. By default "AppData" folder is hidden and you have to make hidden folders visible. Anyway enjoy!!
