<![CDATA[Flash player not up to date]]>I use both opera dev and opera stable.

I've just updated my Dev to Opera Dev 27.0.1689.13 and since then when visiting flash enabled websites I'm getting this message in BOTH operas (stable and dev):

Adobe Flash Player is not up to date.

I was using Flash Player V12 and now I've updated to Flash 14 and I still get the same message. Why is opera forcing me to Flash 15 Beta when I DO NOT WANT to update to beta versions.

I hate flash, it's a waste of resources and I'm already annoyed by Opera forcing me to move to Flash 14 which consumes even more resources and not even Flash 14 is not accepted. Really opera? Where's the user power of choice?

EDIT: here's my flash .dll file: C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash\NPSWF32-14-0-0-145.dll

EDIT2: in the file name the "-" is actually an underscore for some reason this forum is not placing the underscores...

I've cleared up flash problems using this in the past. Worth a shot.

It's working fine here. After I was sure that it was working fine I uninstalled the NPAPI-version of Flash.

Weird about that Flash 15.0.0.215 Beta for Opera is that it's version number is lower than the newest Adobe Flash stable, which is at 15.0.0.239.

Also you should read this and this

how can I downgrade my opera dev version?

I think the best option for you is to use a stable version.
If you really want to use a (old) developer one, just install an previous version and disable autoupdate.Or you can also delete the folder with the current build and fix the folder info in installation_status.xml

I'm already using the stable version and I have the same problem (as I stated on my first post). This problem happens on all opera streams. Developer, Next and Stable.

And apparently I'm not the only one:

And I'm also using windows 7 64bit

It has been a full day and I can't do sht on the web, most of my daily sites all use flash and I can't do sht because they do not work on the browser because it keeps telling me that flash is not updated.

this is really pissing me off. Forcing me to copy paste all the time from browser to browser so I can use the sites in a minimal acceptable way.

Some pages may not allow you to use an old version of Flash player.

You can disable opera://flags/#warn-flash-update-needed
However you should note that as Chromium is dropping support for npapi flash (in fact they are dropping support for all npapi plugins), there is a chance that Opera goes the same way so old flash may start to not work in a future update.

I just did that but I still get the very same warning...

Here's a screenshot of the webpage that does use flash:
