      Actually, I have seen both fatal error 80 and 40 for the same website. Another weird thing that I have seen once or twice is opera not recognizing links, sprint.com for example

        Have you seen 40 lately? I think sites that would show 40 before now show 80, though maybe it depends on the Cloudflare implementation as to what # you get. Either way, it's the same bad news.

          Yeah, saw 40 recently but 80 was first. Maybe because I started playing with the settings

            So what is the problem exactly. The security the websites are using is too old or too new?

              I have the Secure connection: fatal error (40) error message on https://addons.opera.com/addons/extensions/ 😕
              That’s very annoying to not being able to install/update extensions… I don’t know any alternative.

              I only have this error in my company (which firewall replaces each SSL certificate names by its own!)

                I don't know why your company is doing that (or even how it's doing that), but maybe try using a VPN to visit that site. Or, if it's a laptop, take it home.

                  There is not much I can do as when I’m home with this laptop, I can’t access anything (I mean, NO network) besides the company VPN through which I can then access the net as from Office (I mean, crippled, or even more crippled).
                  It’s super securited laptop of hell. 🙂

                  Maybe I can copy stuff from %userprofile%\AppData\Local\Opera\Opera\widgets from the home PC where I get extensions updated.
                  But maybe it’s enough as an off topic here. 🙂

                    The problem web-site hosted by Cloudfire, ins't?
                    Try to import chr... Opera's root certs to the Opera 12.

                    Download archive: https://app.box.com/s/5p00vediw04ds7xkxwgg
                    Close Opera
                    Extract archive to your Opera's profile folder (don't forget to backup all *.dat files before any manipulations). Replace(rewrite) original *.dat files with files from zip-archive.

                    This should fix the issue with Cloudfire/SSL !

                    I did the cert swap. Has no effect on the error 40. But it seems to have a positive effect on stability, not responding etc., I used to have problems with nypost.com and even this forum site.

                    I wonder how much work it is for opera to throw us another update to fix some security issues. Just to be nice.

                      I have a solution which is good enough, way better than leaving my beloved old opera to open in another browser. I tried the Kproxy method but kproxy does not work on some sites. I will post this in any relevant thread that has to do with incomparability/security issues.

                      Reguires installation of neptune: http://www.meadco.com/Neptune/About. I edited my right click menu to run a script so that I am now able to open all the sites with error 40 and even the Chase bank site in Internet Explorer Issues: Normally something about error running script and the url does not display in the address bar, just about blank. And I can't figure out how to bookmark page or use auto login. I got this script from one of the old button creator sites.

                      Here is the script:

                      Item, View in IE=Go to page, "javascript:(function(){if(location.protocol.match(/^(javascript|about|opera):$/i))return;var l=location.href;var t=(document.getElementsByTagName('title')[0]?document.getElementsByTagName('title')[0].text:l).replace(/</g,'<').replace(/>/g,'>');var w=window.open('','_blank');w.document.documentElement.innerHTML='<head><title>'+t+' - using Internet Explorer rendering</title><style type=\x22text/css\x22>body{margin:0;padding:0;overflow:hidden;}embed{border:none;}</style></head><body><embed type=\x22application/x-meadco-neptune-ax\x22 width=\x22100%%\x22 height=\x22100%%\x22 param-location=\x22'+l+'\x22></embed></body>'})();",,"View in IE",View

                        Have you tried to enable(disable) OCSPValidateCertificates for certain web-sites via override.ini ?

                        I did 🙂 and it works! Some site stopped working for me last week, throwing an error

                        'Secure connection: critical error (1066)'

                        and after adding the following line to a dedicated section in override.ini - I can access that site over https again:

                        SecurityPrefs|OCSP Validate Certificates=0

                          could you hint me: where's the "decicated section"? does it exist in every override.ini??

                                      There's no UI to add that. You have to edit the file yourself and append it to the section that exists for the given site (a section for a given site is automatically created when you make any changes at all to site preferences in the UI.

                                      See my post back on May 27th though for the global setting in opera:config. That's all I use.

                                        for the given site... But I want to have this section for ALL sites.

                                        OCSP Validate Certificates: it looks like here, for years -> http://i.imgur.com/SLtUAZB.png

                                          The setting for ALL sites is the one that I mentioned in opera:config. It's unchecked per your screenshot, so you're done. The override.ini is only for individual sites.

                                          Just keep in mind what I mentioned on May 27th. The need to disable OCSP was only a temporary thing early on in this thread. Leaving it disabled creates debilitating performance issues on some sites.

                                            I wonder what happened with the REAL Opera (before 12.17) developers community...
                                            Are they all dead?
                                            Are they all gagged by no disclosure agreements after they signed with evil G00gle?
                                            Will their family be killed if they patch security holes and release Opera 12.18?
                                            I mean... come on... nobody abandoned a very much loved project especially when a corporation stole open source projects just to kill the competition. It's obvious what G00gle did was a takeover because their $hitty Chrome is a joke.

                                            I didn't expect such betrayal from former Opera 12 programmers...
