Opera Crashing continuously

Hi,
I have similiar problems: Opera hangs all or crashes all the time without a reason. Closing an open tab often results in opera hanging or even crashing. If it crashes and i choose restart with tabs it hangs or crashes again. Restart with no open tabs means loosing the actual tab-set. If opera just hangs, it hangs even, if i stop opera and start the program again, then the only solution is to restart Windows (today about 5 times).
That is enough - you are right: I re-installed version 9.64 - i think that version was quite stable.
I am using Opera from the very beginning (when you had to buy a license), but at the moment I am thinking about to just use an other browser: the old versions are (more) stable but not secure, the new versions are just frustrating.

I would recommend a clean install of Opera 10.51 if it was an upgrade of 10.10 or earlier. In general i would do a clean install when a big step happened.

No problem here with crashes or hangs of opera. Works fine here. Clean install of 10.50 and upgrade to 10.51 here.

Exactly what is considered a "clean install"?

For those of us who have collected large amounts of bookmarks, cookies, site preferences, wand passwords, site and personal certificates, RSS feed or email data, content-blocking specifics and other customizations, starting over from scratch is not an option.

I am having the same problem and am desperate for help. Opera crashes on opening and immediately goes to crash log. I reinstalled and it didn't work. Need help. I hate going back to Firefox.

I'm having the same problems ... I'm using Windows Vista and upgraded to Opera 10.51 two days ago. Since then approx. one hour after the start the browser crashes, nothing works. I'm really disappointed because I preferred Opera to other browsers and now will have to rethink my choice ...

I didn't wanted this opera 10.51 -
I will NEVER, EVER trust an auto-update again, no chance to take action against it and REMOVING DELETING DISPOSING my old installation.

I don't like it's missing window title bar (I handle all my windows with the title bar, this is called a standard!)

I don't want to get re-educated by a browser I just want to browse with!

I don't want very new features every few weeks (well, okay, just the small previews where really great!)

I don't want Opera to crash after an hour to zero entropy!

This 10.51 is *fill in every swearword you know*!

I want to get my old installation back!

Guys! I use Opera since version 5, but it is not a must for me. I just liked it - until last week, before 10.51.

The moment Opera forced its recent update on me, Opera began to crash. Opera now opens up for a second or two, and then disappears. This was repeatable and consistent.

I then downloaded Opera 10.51 and installed it. Still same problem as above. A simple reinstall did not work.

I´m new i this forum, but I´m Opera´s user since version 2.x and I´ve trusted in Opera as my prefered browser, which runs with low computer resources and is stable.
But the version 10 of opera, seems to be not so stable as the lastests versions. The last update(10.51) have given me an incredible headache:

It has problems handling e_mails attachments, opening pdf files, is more slow opening webpages and freeze the tabs sometimes also(I´ve to constantly close the aplication through windows task manager). In another computer I have, this update crashed my opera screen configuration and working.

I can not consider have a clean install, as I need my emails, shortcuts, passwords, etc as they are.

I would like to know if Opera is planning help us, users, whith these problems... I would like to know if they´re fixing these problems in a new update.

I´ve also a question: How can I disable Opera´s automatic update?

I love Opera Browser, but at the moment I can not understand why I have facing these problems because of an update?

I will be grateful for someone who gives me some ideas on how to solve these problems. Thanks!

Upgrading to the latest version of Adobe Reader fixes that, I heard.

Try 10.52, the latest snapshots/builds are here. http://my.opera.com/desktopteam/blog/

Go back to version 10.10 until Opera team fixes the problem
Show kindness and love to those to have done you wrong. Don't hold any grudges. You'll be better off this way, trust me.

I have encountered most of the problems EduardoGB had.

1 After the start-up dial, opera keep blank(not responding) for more than one minute before it starts loading pages. For previous versions(10.50 or earlier) it takes no more than 10 seconds.

2 pdf. Open a pdf file could cause opera freeze, not responding, suddenly close(no reason!), crashes... One weired thing is sometimes when I open a pdf file, my mouse and keyboard did not work for opera while I can still use the touch pad scrolling.

3 Crashes. Since I have updated my opera to 10.51 a few days ago, the crashes time then are more than what I have had for the last whole year.

4 Opera:cache. The restrictions on the top do not work at all.

I love Opera and trust it, but (at least for my laptop) 10.51 is really more like a test version with several serious stable problems.

Guy... due to the reason of security this can't be a serious option...!

First I thought that I had activated the auto-update on my own - but opera updated itself on its own.
Earlier versions asked for update and i could decide, but this time i was neither asked nor informed BEFORE - it just started the update.

I am very frustrated, because many persons seem to have freezing-troubles and I can't use this opera. I even have not been able to come here by it.
<shame>I am here with ie!!!</shame>

This makes me crazy. God thanks I don't use Opera for email since years (due to the lack of usability, but this is my own opinion) and as i allready wrote, I just use it for browsing.

ACTUALLY, MY OPERA IS THE SLOWEST BROWSER ON EARTH - standing still, frozen.
It's not longer the small, lovely thing. It's getting more and more a collection of gadgets I don't need. sniff...

I just upgraded today to 10.51. When i went to change the color theme my opera crashed and the old.."sorry..opera encountered a problem" window kept coming up every time it tried to restart. I just did a system restore to go back to opera.10. I'll wait till these bugs are fixed before I upgrade again.

kind of funny - lightning-fast and stable like solid rock here - its really noticeable - most complains are from Vista users, xp/7 users are complaining less, nearly not at all.

I believe the same problem was discussed in this thread:

http://my.opera.com/community/forums/topic.dml?id=479671

I face the same problem, and I'm on XP.

Oh and I just tried installing 10.52 but I still get the same issue. sad

Interestingly, I haven't had too many crashes after my first day using 10.51.

But there are still a variety of other issues that I would like to see fixed or changed. Most of them are UI-related, except the thing where I can no longer disable java by default.

Same problem as original poster and am desperate for help. I'm XP and had 10.10. It, out of nowhere started crashing constantly about two weeks ago. Then, it refused to open all together and goes straight to crash log over and over every time I try open Opera. I uninstalled completely and tried to reinstall. Didn't work. Oh, please someone help! I HATE going back to Firefox. Hate, hate, hate it. Help.

I had 2 problems with Opera 10.51:
- Opera crashed each time I closed a tab wit a pdf-document, so a few times per day.
- In the settings menus, a lot of texts (field descriptions) were not visible.

Reinstall Opera 10.51 did not help.

So I reinstalled the last version that worked on my computer: Opera 10.00.
I still had the installation file on my computer. If you need it, you can also find it on:
http://www.opera.com/browser/download/?os=windows&list=all

I reinstalled it as a "upgrade" (or in this case a "downgrade"), so that I kept all my Bookmarks and Passwords.

Now everything seems to work again like before. Opera 10.00 is a good version.
