<![CDATA[New Adobe flash player upgrade causes Opera 26.0 to crash]]>My computer was running like a champ, that was until 2 days ago when my computer prompted me to upgrade Adobe flash player. Once the download had finished and I restarted the computer my sunny skies soon turned gray. Now Opera keeps crashing until I go into programs and uninstall flash player.

Please help.

I updated it and it's still causing me troubles.
Which program do you recomend me to test if there are any malwares?
(Except Malwarebyte's Anti-Malware, because since its new version, it deleted some important dlls and system files)

.287 is not the current and safe Flash Player version.

16.0.0.296 ist the current one without security holes!

At first, when I have opened Opera, the first five minutes were just crashing if I would try to load pages. Now, things are getting worse.
My Flash Player version is 16.0.0.287, PPAPI, but I had to deactivate it. And I thought at first it was the Stash, but Stash takes just some time to load, no problems.

I remember before the last updates, it wasn't that bad (maybe one or other time)
Sorry for reviving this post...

Another question: I have QuickTime and other plugins as NPAPI, does it make any problem??

I have to deal with a lot of pop-ups and when you want to watch a video, this does not work with Adobe Flash Player.

That is very strange indeed, as no-one else to my knowledge has reported this.
What extensions do you have installed, if any?

It crashes as fast as it recovers from the previous crash, (every few seconds). After doing that about 2 or 3 times Opera automatically disables it now. Yes, once Flash is disabled it's smooth sailing I'm just not able to watch videos on facebook or do anything on PicMonkey.com

If I don't go in and disable it it just keeps on crashing every time I open the browser.

When you say "it" are you meaning the PPAPI Flash Player plugin?
Is the browser completely stable if you have it disabled?

It recovered then posted this....Opera has just recovered from a crash. We've just recovered from a crash, but to do it we had to disable your extensions and wipe out your session. You can try to enable the extensions again in Extensions Manager. Sorry! If I don't go in and disable it it just keeps on crashing every time I open the browser.

Now reinstall the PPAPI version of the Flash Plugin from the link I gave you earlier.
It should then work.
I actually have the PPAPI and NPAPI versions both listed and have had no stability problems (touch wood!)

I believe they have an option that removes references to missing files - that is what you would need.

As you've deleted the Flash folder, it should remove any entries associated with it.
If you look at the plugins list in Opera now, what (if anything) do you have listed for Flash Player?

Not sure about on Macs I'm afraid.
Incidentally, if you don't know this, "Macromed" is the shortened eight character DOS compatible name from Macromedia, which was the company that invented Flash and were taken over by Adobe years ago.
A legacy from the mists of time that's still there on new installations even now, presumably for backwards compatibility reasons!
