<![CDATA[Unable to access a particular site since Yesterday ...]]>Up until yesterday I have always been able to access the following site with no problem.
https://ws1.aholdusa.com/jgpromos/homeaccess/index.htm

Now, no matter what I do (clearing cache, reboot, manually typing the url address) it wont open?

I continue to get "Unable to complete secure transaction" .. "Check that the address is spelled correctly, or "try searching for the site."

It isn't a problem with the https url because my bank and other secure sites still work.
It is an opera browser problem because all of my other browsers will open the page.
(firefox, pale moon, IE, chrome)
(I am using the latest opera update)

I would appreciate any suggestions as to what the problem might be.

Thank You

The only working solution is to block access to address "autoupdate.opera.com" in your firewall (or add it to the Hosts file if you don't have a FW). I don't know why Opera team is still disabling TLS 1.1 and 1.2 remotely on all clients...

Have you tried the opera:config method noted above in <https://forums.opera.com/post/55410 >? Regardless, some time ago, I also blocked Opera's autoupdater (via renaming the updater file) just to be sure my own settings aren't perturbed any more. As to why Opera continues disabling TLS 1.1 and 1.2, I believe there's a definite though not universal stability problem for some users and sites if those settings are turned on with SSL3 turned off (see: <https://forums.opera.com/post/55555 > plus a myriad of past posts in various forums). I think Opera has set their update server to auto-respond to every Presto Opera startup "ping" with their SSL-TLS fix instructions. In the past, they've auto-delivered JavaScript updates and other things at that startup point, so it's not unprecedented.

I don't know why Opera team is still disabling TLS 1.1 and 1.2 remotely on all clients, if it is more secure than TLS 1.0. Some web sites require the later TLS versions and don't work with 1.0.

I happened to notice when I was checking its settings that Java 7 Update 67 (the last one that seems to work with 12.17) has SSL 3.0 enabled in its default security settings, and TLS 1.0 enabled and TLS 1.1 and 1.2 disabled.

I haven't tested that way.

Blocking autoupdate.opera.com in hosts or firewall also prevents updating.

Original configuration (no problem):
SSL 3: ON
TLS 1: ON
TLS 1.1: OFF
TLS 1.2: OFF

Automatically changed configuration (crashes for some):
SSL 3: OFF
TLS 1: ON
TLS 1.1: ON
TLS 1.2: ON

Working alternative here:
SSL 3: OFF
TLS 1: ON
TLS 1.1: OFF
TLS 1.2: OFF

Enabling of the higher TLS's (one or both) seems to be the issue.

First crash for me dating back to October 16 and browser is not usable from that day because of infinite crashes.

Opera 12.17 x64, Windows 8.1 x64.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

If this is impossible I have to switch to Firefox after 10 years with Opera. Opera based on Chromium is not usable for me.

The browser has just crashed again however, and I checked and SSL3 was still enabled, along with the others which I didn't change.
I've now disabled everything except TLS1, so I'll see how that goes.
I'm on 32bit XP BTW.

BTW, do you also have OCSP disabled? And what OS do you have?

I'm running Win7Pro-64 most of the time; occasionally I run XP. No, I've not disabled OCSP on any of my Opera installations.

I've been meaning to test just disabling SSL3 (i.e. TLS1 is the only thing enabled), but I'm not in a period right now where I can crash out again. I'll try it soon though. Unfortunately, this is not the sort of thing you can easily test in that when it happens seems completely random. I have not id'd particular sites that trigger it, so replicating it on demand isn't possible yet.

It might affect how or if a site responds to Opera, but it shouldn't have direct impact to Opera (the program itself). I've manipulated the Presto manual SSL/TLS settings on and off for years and never seen any adverse effects beyond some site suddenly appearing to act up (usually it appears as a notice of being unable to complete the connection). So whatever is going on would seem to be beyond just a simple flipping of the SSL3 setting... that is, there has to be more to it than just that setting alone, with regard to the crashes.

"Finally, Opera 12 on desktop is taking the lead with disabling SSLv3 support! Since we are not able to apply the countermeasure to all of the remaining Opera 12 installations (and it also does not support TLS_FALLBACK_SCSV), we have remotely turned off SSLv3. This will be automatically distributed to all Opera 12 desktop installations in the next few days. We’re allowing ourselves to be a bit experimental with this, so users who have not yet upgraded to Opera 25 may see more of the broken servers, and we will get some experience in turning off SSLv3..."?

So far, everyone who's mentioned it is, but the sampling is small so far so it doesn't mean much yet.

Maybe we can figure out a way to actually have SSL3 disabled and have stability too. I should note that due to another issue with 12.x and some https sites, I have OCSP verification disabled. I did that a week or two ago though, and so that alone is not causing the instability. However, it's another variable in this worth mentioning.

BTW, those interested should check out the blog post comments at the link I posted above. HÃ¥vard has commented on the issue.

Anyway, it's just my sad "whistling in the wind" way of trying to remind the guys at Opera that there ARE people actually still using Opera 12.
I still always send the crash reports from Windows XP to Microsoft as well, for the same reason!

On restart I always send the error report, but as usual it only ever says "there is no detailed information about this crash".

Dave, the answer has to be that the devs are simply totally involved on working on the new browser. In all probability, there is not only no development of the Presto version but no maintenance of it as well. Reports of crashes are in all likelihood ignored at this juncture. That's a guess, mind you, but I would expect that is now the case.

I thought it was being caused by the Flash plugin, but now I'm not so sure of course!
I can be using the browser perfectly normally, and suddenly without any warning or error messages, it will just suddenly shut down.
I've even seen it do it when it was minimised to the system tray and not being used!

... When you set yours manually, you're unchecking SSL3 and checking the other three items? Or are you unchecking SSL3 and leaving only TLS1 checked? ...

When I manually set it, I uncheck SSL3 and check (or leave checked) all the others.
