I'm more than happy to blame Adobe for that particular issue, to be fair. Although it's not about Opera, this site refers to some of the horrific bugs Adobe's flash-based UIs encounter.

On my laptop there have been no issues and everything "upgraded" hunky dorey. Opera 12 is fine and runs everything with no problem. On my home desktop however, every time I try to play a flash movie, regardless of website, "YOU MUST UPGRADE TEH FLASH". So I did. Even following a system restart, try to do the same and "YOU MUST UPGRADE TEH FLASH". Roll back to Opera 11.64 and problem went away.

Is it possible to auto-backup my session? Sometimes Opera forgets I had one if my computer crashes or the power goes or something. I suppose that's what I get for using tabs as bookmarks but still

I think it does automatically. My C:\Users\Chris\AppData\Roaming\Opera\Opera Next\sessions has an autosave.win and an autosave.win.bak If the .bak is way larger, nuke autosave.win and replace it with autosave.win.bak. I've never actually needed this though. Even when everything crashes, it's loaded back up fine. I think it saves the autosave periodically regardless of exit status.

I've had to switch to Chrome, because Opera feels like browsing on a toaster. Does anyone have any idea what the hell is up? This happens even with only a handful of tabs open.

Twitter was actually problematic for me too when I had several Twitter tabs open. Now that I only use one tab, there doesn't seem to be any issues. e: Oh, and most of your tabs should be a flat 0% in opera:cpu. At least in my experience.

Sadly random CTDs have increased tenfold in frequency after i carelessly allowed the most recent auto-update (Version 12.01 internal Build 1473 to Version 12.50 internal Build 1497)  . Still, in years i've probably had the session backup fail only two or three times otal - far more commonly i drag out a videotab into its own window on a second monitor and then accidentally close the primary window with its dozens over dozens of tabs (meaning that after closing the other window, the stored session will only contain the single video tab).

The 12.50 build has been very, very stable for me, except for common flash plugin crashes. Otherwise it's been miles ahead of the 12.00 release. This might have more to do with me wiping my profile directory and starting over, though.

This new build has been worse for me than the previous one. It crashes like once a day, instead of never. It doesn't seem to have anything to do with flash though. Each time it's occurred when I open a new tab, google search for whatever, and click a result.

^^ Same here, as compared to the 12.01 build. * It randomly crashes (with crash report prompt) or stops responding (and windows shut it down, but no auto-crash report), and not only on flash based sites or site with flash content/video. It's probably not once every day, but it's still very annoying. *. by the way, what's up with skipping the 12.01 build and going on directly to 12.5. It seems like a very arbitrary development decision. (Or are they not leaving the 12.01 branch? )

The opera:cpu page shows that none of the pages have any usage but the 'Other' category is stuck on 25%. A restart fixes the problem for a short time but it doesn't seem to last. Very frustrating e: oh look at that. Clearing the download tab fixes the problem. Strange and still annoying though!

RoadCrewWorker posted:Oh yeah, now that you mention it, the 'google search result click' actually seems to be a majority of the crashes. Weird. Google likes to use javascript to redirect those clicks through their owns servers first (it can make copying a search result's url a pain). Maybe the crash is related to javascript?

Has anyone had any luck getting Google Play to work? I found some free music promo and I've tried various settings but when I click play nothing happens. 11.64 on linux here, do any of the 12.x builds work? edit: It looks like just downloading may work, and the downloadable "music manager" seems to work but only gives the option of downloading *everything* which I'm not sure I want to do, though I was probably going to just download what I liked anyway. edit2: still no luck with the new 12.01 build.

They have a new 12.01 build out (1517) that now installs over your stable 12.00 Opera (it's not in the Opera-Next branch anymore!). It has a bunch of crash fixes and some of the HTML5 drag and drop fixes have been ported in this one too.

You can force it to install over a Next build, if you want. I did that since I just use Next installs all the time basically, and skip the extra-busted ones. I'll report in some days with how it goes. I'm sick of the daily crash-on-google instances from the current 12.5x.

That poo poo has been a problem for all of Opera 12 and is annoying enough that I'm sticking to 11.x. Even if it's just sending a resize when you're trying to save, that jumping image just makes Opera seem far less professional. Of course, 11.x sorts my bookmarks at the bottom of the address bar autocomplete, usually behind a "more results" style extender so Opera is perpetuating the "poo poo aint working right" theme left and right.

Random whine of the day: It would be nice if there were a way to disable tab stacking. I've never found it useful and once a week or so I accidentally stack two tabs together and have to take time and a dozen clicks figuring out how to undo it.

Seems that trying to drag tabs in the window panel is a pretty reliable way of crashing the browser. Dragging tabs from one window to another one-by-one, without using the panel, seems to work better.

12.01 is way way better than 12.00 build in my opinion. It is essentially a more polished version of 12.00 and has patched some crashes and bugs I had experienced with 12.00. However, it still has unfixed (reported in previous builds sometimes repeatedly - e.g. the Disquss comments bug, artifacts on the main window when scrolling, NSL in youtube) bugs. And unfortunately, while I want to like it a lot, within the first day of a clean install usage I have had one random crash, and one lock-up where windows shutdown Opera because it "stopped responding".

I haven't had any problems at all with the last few 12.01 weeklies, nor now the final release. In other news, the new 12.5 build has a ridiculously long changelog, so maybe it's approaching usability. http://my.opera.com/desktopteam/blog/2012/08/03/summer-core-update But when there are still known issues like "Clicking the star icon in the address bar crashes Opera", I'm rather skeptical.

In a fit of being pissed off at Opera for all the random crap and niggles that have been going on for years, mostly performance and UI related, I decided just to switch over to Chrome. Chrome certainly does fix most things that I found annoying. Pages load fast and I don't have choppy youtubes or gifs and the UI is mostly an improvement. However I do miss most of the tweaks Opera has to offer and I definitely miss scrolling through tabs with my mouse wheel. So apparently there's no perfect browser, who'd a thought.

12.01 seems to have fixed some issues but not all. Most noticeably flash is still acting up when using two monitors. I get occasional crashes over stupid stuff but it definitely is much better.
