I'm missing status bar very much, too. And we need it.

For example with a slow connection or due to slow server response, when you click on a link, you see no status (as if nothing happening at the moment) about current connection activity, and you think that you have never clicked on the link. Then the server responds your request quite late, then page is loaded.

But during the time duration between the moment you clicked on the link and the server reponse, it makes user very nervous while you're waiting because of not seeing any info about current http connection status on traditional status bar (like connected, waiting for reply etc.).

Any basic and other browsers still have status bar too. It is one of the biggest annoyance for me about Opera.

Hi there,
I have an old PC running on Windows XP SP3 and as far as i know, Opera 36 is the last supported version on XP. I installed Opera 36 and working fine except JAVA, which has been dropped by Chromium community later. But when I check available pluins by checking "opera://plugins", the correct Java NPAPI (npjp2.dll) plug-in is detected just fine by Opera.

I set "Run all plug-in content" in settings menu (websites submenu), but still none of JAVA applets are being loaded. Just empty page!

So, the question, why isn't JAVA working on Opera as long as it's found and listed fine in opera://plugins list?

Any help is appreciated!

Update/Edit: I found some info that actually versions prior to Opera 34 (34 is not included) are the ones that support JAVA Plug-in. Is there any safe download location of version 32 (or 33 if there is) for me to make Java work?

Best regards.

@leocg said in Opera Mobile is renamed as Mini?:

What do you call Opera Mobile? There are Opera for Android, Opera Mini and Opera Touch.

Hi.
It WAS Opera Mobile. Remember old days.

See sample images here.
https://www.androidpolice.com/2013/05/27/new-app-original-opera-mobile-for-android-re-released-for-those-who-appreciate-the-classics/

Opera Mini is different and for low-end devices. But Opera Mobile was preloaded on my Galaxy phone and it seems that now it's converted Mini silently without any prompt by an update. I just wanted to confirm this.

Hi there,
Just tried to log in to my existing Opera Forums account from my mobile phone and noticed that the forums have been changed about 2 years ago and migrated to new layout, which I didn't know as I haven't been logged in for a long time during my inactivity period.

After entering CORRECT username and password, I was immediately faced with a page requesting my consent to collect personal data (hope not dangerous), otherwise it would not allow me to post anything. See screnshot:

My question is, was it REALLY forcibly required to give consent to use the new forum engine, or it was just me? It was behaving "as if" I am signing up newly and completing registration. After giving consent, now it is fine.

Best regards!

Hi guys,
Just noticed that my Galaxy S4's Opera Mobile is now renamed as Mini after a silent update in meantime. It is with 28.0.2254 version and appears to be final version for my phone.

I am quite sure it was branded as "Opera Mobile" a few years ago but noticed now.

Can anyone confirm this?

Thanks!

Hi guys,
Since Opera has chosen Chromium infrastructure, i really miss some features, even some of them is present in Google Chrome. Unlike old Opera 12.xx series, i want to:

• Be warned for confirmation when closing the browser, if there are multiple tabs open.
• Delete specific URL entry just like SHIFT+DELETE, from address bar history that appears during typing.
• Display Home (home page) button on main screen, next to address bar.
  ...etc.

All these features are extremely simple to implement and they're not re-invention of the wheel. Why did Opera developers choose not to implement these? No extension is required for these basic features, as well.

Thanks!

Any comment is appricated.

Hi there,
I've been using new (Chromium) version of Opera for a long time and it was great to work with Opera Dragonfly before. Now when i launch Developer Tools, i don't see any tab related to Javascript debugging such as "Scripts".

Here is my screenshof of current view:

Sources / Resources / Console doesn't make sense in terms of my script debugging.

Am i missing something?

Thanks in advance!

I'm using Opera 34 and lacking of this CRUCIAL feature, which is making lots of people swearing against developers of Opera. I had, imagine i have 20 tabs open and accidently i hit the close X on the top-right. You can see what happens!

That's totally unacceptable. Any news for this?

I have the same problem with my Opera Mini for S60 version 7.1 using Nokia E55. I constantly get the message: "For your account safety, we temporarily locked your Yahoo account. Please sign in to login.yahoo.com from a desktop computer, tablet, or smartphone to unlock."

With Opera Mobile, no error.

I have the same issue. Having Opera 34, i have 7 opera.exe*32 on my Win7 SP 64-bit box. Is it a multithreading way of processing? I have I7 cpu with 4 cores (8 threads).

Also try --ppapi-flash-path= (and --ppapi-flash-version=insert_version_here).

Hi mate,
Great effort, many thanks!

I managed to combine your suggestions with the post below:
https://forums.opera.com/post/52641

Then i did such command line which did the trick!
launcher.exe --ppapi-flash-path="C:\Users\username\Desktop\Opera 34 Portable\flashplugin\x86\pepflashplayer32_20_0_0_286.dll" --ppapi-flash-version="20.0.0.286"

Edit: For some reason post editor doesn't seem to allow me to include "_" (underscore) char to the posts which i actually added to "pepflashplayer32_20_0_0_286.dll" (not shown on forum).
It's now detecting Pepper (PPAPI) flash just fine, however Youtube videos are launched with HTML5 using Opera and no way to force Flash in Opera

Thanks a lot, by the way!

Is the 32-bit ppapi flash dll in the extra plugin dir? It needs to be as Opera is 32-bit.

I tried both 32-bit and 64-bit ppapi flash dlls to the corresponding folder. But Opera still can't find the Flash file. What else should i do? Is this a problem for Opera Portable or another command-line switch i need to use to force proper PPAPI plugin detection for flash?

Thanks a lot.

Hi guys,
I tried downloading PPAPI (Pepper Flash) from here:
http://effect8.ru/soft/media/adobe-flash-player-portable.html

And placed 64-bit .dll and other files here:
C:\Users\username\Desktop\Opera 34 Portable\OperaPortable\App\Opera\flashplugin\x64\

Finally, tried launching Opera Portable using that command-line switch:
"C:\Users\username\Desktop\Opera 34 Portable\OperaPortable\App\Opera\launcher.exe" "--extra-plugin-dir=C:\Users\username\Desktop\Opera 34 Portable\OperaPortable\App\Opera\flashplugin\x64"

But still Opera even fails to find PPAPI flash...! No luck!

Am i missing something?

As previously said, other NPAPI-based plugins are found just fine, but not NPSWF32.DLL

Yeh. It just wasn't clear from your post whether it found some of the others in that subfolder. As in, it wasn't clear whether or not the command-line option was even working.

Sorry for that. The other plugins were found even without using command-line swith. Hope it clarifies.

You will want to use the PPAPI version of Adobe Flash Player, which you may find here.

Is there a download location for PPAPI-based Flash player using xcopy placement like NPSWF32.DLL does? I mean, just drop file (PPAPI plugin file) to plugin folder WITHOUT using Adobe's installer?

then I created a shortcut to launcher.exe like this:

If you want to test to see if that command-line option at least works, try putting a different plug-in in the folder. But, I guess that won't help if the "Disable NPAPI plug-ins" being disabled doesn't re-enable NPAPI support.

As previously said, other NPAPI-based plugins are found just fine, but not NPSWF32.DLL, which represents Shockwave Flash Plugin. Is it a specific problem related to Flash along with detection of Opera?

Thanks for your helpful response, appreciate. I've done what you suggested, however:

Opera is based on Chromium now. When trying to figure out how to do something in Opera, you can search for how to do it in Chromium or Chrome.
Edit the Opera shortcut (it's a shortcut to launcher.exe) and add the command line option to search for plug-ins in a certain directory:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Opera\launcher.exe" "--extra-plugin-dir=C:\Users\user\test"

I did that. I put NPSWF32.DLL into "Flash" folder under "OperaPortable" folder as subfolder, then I created a shortcut to launcher.exe like this:

"C:\Users\myusername\Desktop\Opera 34 Portable\OperaPortable\App\Opera\launcher.exe" "--extra-plugin-dir=C:\Users\myusername\Desktop\Opera 34 Portable\OperaPortable\Flash"

I launched Opera, but still it failed to recognize NPAPI Flash file.

The funny thing, it finds some other NPAPI-based other plugins such as PDF, Office Plugins, Windows Live plugins, 6 plugins at total, but it fails to find many other plugins, whereas latest Firefox (even portable version) works flawlessly. Is there somewhere in registry that i have to specify for Opera to find plugins that i want?

In Opera though, type opera://flags/?search=npapi in the address field and hit enter. There you can enable support for NPAPI plug-ins. But, Opera and Chrome are removing support for NPAPI, so sooner or later, NPAPI plug-ins won't be supported at all.
You can type opera://plugins in the address field and press enter. There you can enable disable individual plug-ins.
Now, or flash specifically, you don't need to do this. You just goto adobe.com and download flash. It should install the PPAPI (not NPAPI) version of flash that Opera should automatically recognize.
Think of opera://flags like opera:config

I've also checked this before. Opera://flags shows "Disable NPAPI plug-ins: Disabled (default)" which means NPAPI has to be detected by Opera, but it's still not found.

I'm lost here.

For the font, try disabling direct write in opera://flags. Not sure if disabling hardware acceleration alone will help.

Thanks', i'll try that if it helps.

Hi there,
I had the previous, and the most recent version of "legacy" Opera, that was 12.17, you know. It's working fine and was used to locate all the plugins with no problem. Then i decided to "try" new-generation Opera, Opera 34, but "portable" version by downloading from portableapps.com. Note that i have Windows 7 SP1 64-bit.

I had many problems such as:

1. Opera 34 (portable edition) can't locate existing NPSWF32.DLL (NPAPI Flash Plugin) either from "C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash" and also from "Program Files" folder.

2. The file-folder structure seems to have been changed roughly, there's no effect on putting existing NPSWF32.DLL flash plugin file to ".....\Opera\Program\Plugins" as "Program" folder no longer exists on the path of version 34?

I only have 3 folders named "34.0.2036.25", "Assets" and "Profile" and no plugin-related folder is located in them. What is the local plugin path of new Opera 34???

3. Font rendering is bad when compared to latest Firefox 4x series. It's blurry on address bar and not clear on webpages. Disabling HW Acceleration doesn't help.

I didn't like new Opera, as legacy versions were really good.

Thanks in advance!

@angiesdom
Shouldn't i first uninstall Opera 12, then install Opera 25 which is generally advised for ages?

@lando242
Thanks, so this is normal behaviour?

Hi guys,
I updated my old Opera 11.51, by clicking "check for updates" on help menu. It updated existing version to 12.17, but i know, Opera 25 is out for Windows, and i'm using Windows 7 SP1.

Using Opera 12.17 which was just updated a few minutes ago, clicking "check for updates" showing me that 12.17 is the latest which is wrong.

Here is the screenshot:

Why cannot i update to Opera 25 by clicking "check for updates" option? What's wrong?
