I have been trying to find a browser that lets me move away from Chrome, yet every time I try one, things like this happen. Opera will not open many links that should launch videos. The Flash plugin is working, but for example, I was trying to view the videos about Amazon's Fire TV from their website and they would not even attempt to open. Chrome opened and ran them fine. There was another video site that didn't work either but I can't remember which one.

This is a link to the Amazon videos. The small thumbnail videos under the heading "What is Amazon Fire TV?" are the ones I'm talking about:

The videos played fine here with 22.0.1471.70.

Any extensions running? Is "click to play" enabled for plugins? If so, try disable extensions and set Opera to run plugins automatically.

Or maybe you have Off-Road/Opera Turbo mode enabled ?.

They work fine for me too. Is the flash in Opera the latest version?

Fresh Flash installation.
Tested on Opera, Opera Next, Opera Developer ( USB install )

No video only black flash box.

No extensions.

Videos works in Chrome but no on Opera and Firefox
It could be flash problem not opera. ( Chrome use internal Flash )

I'll admit I'm a newb to the browser. I looked for the Turbo option and turned it off. That appeared to be the cause.

Thanks, all.

@mkr, Video works fine for me in Opera (Presto) 12.14 and Opera (Blink) Developer 24. I have Flash player plug-in version 14,0,0,125 (currently the latest) installed on Windows 7 (x86).

*Yes I do use Windows, sometimes...
