Opera 10.51 stops loading websites

Opera 10.51 stops loading websites

I have a weird problem.

Opera 10.51 would start loading a website and then just stop. You'd see something like "Element 49/51" and then it just stops running. This happens on many different websites (I witnessed it on www.gmx.de and several sublinks on www.n-tv.de for example).

I have seen this on two machines, one running Windows XP SP3 and one running Windows 2000 SP4. The XP-machine is sitting behind a proxy, the 2000-machine isn't. On both machines, alternative browsers like FF and IE have no such problems with these sites.

Any advice?

Come on, I had this on two (!) machines who have nothing in common. I cant be the only one experiencing that?!

EDIT:
I tried the Http 1.1-idea. No such luck, no change at all.

Yeah, it happens to me to and it seems to happen to a lot of other people.
I'm hoping they fix it soon.

We have the same problem : http://my.opera.com/community/forums/topic.dml?id=439641

I had the same experience - Opera 10-51 refuse to load a certain page - on my two XP Sp3 platforms.

Go to Settings - then Preferences - choose Advanced - History -- Go to Disk cache and click "Empty now". ( While there - you can increase the 20MB default setting for Disk Cache)

Close your Opera Browser -- restart your Opera browser - and the problem is solved -- for a while.

This should be an easy fix for Opera. Strange they have not done so - now when Microsoft Update presents the "Choice of another Browser" -options apeears on thousands of PC's - at least in Europe.....

Hello all,

Have any of you typed the words in the title of this thread in the search box in the Opera browser forum? You are not the first to experience this problem and some have solved it. I, too, experienced this on one installation on Win XP that had Opera which had been upgraded several times. The only content being blocked is unwanted Popups; Enable HTTP 1.1 for proxy servers is selected, and Accept cookies is selected. Pressing the Stop (X) button will display the page when it hangs on the last elements, but that's annoying. So how to fix it? There are several options to try.

* Check for broad content blocking.
* Preferences (Ctrl + F12) > Advanced > Cookies. Select Accept cookies.
* Preferences > Advanced > Network > Proxy Servers. "Enable HTTP 1.1 for proxy" should be checked (important if using Opera Turbo or an ISP provided accelerator as this uses a proxy). While you are on the Network preference, when upgrading from previous versions your existing preferences are used. 10.5x has new defaults for Max connections. They used to be 8 & 20 and are now 16 & 64. This does not cause elements to not load, but why not take full advantage of the new browser engine.

What solved the problem for me was checking the security ciphers that were not selected. I first learned of it on this thread: Unable to connect to some websites. HTTPS problem. If you have upgraded Opera several times, not all of the needed ones may be selected. I have no idea why this would cause non-secure sites to not fully load. There is also a new TLS 1.2 protocol introduced in 10.50 and should be selected.

Preferences > Security> Security Protocols. All 4 (SSL 3, TLS 1, TLS 1.1, & TLS 1.2 should be checked, and the first 5 (0 bit & Anonym) in Details are unchecked. Everything beginning with 168 bit 3-DES (RSA/SHA) should be checked. This would also solve login problems on https pages if a needed protocol or cipher is not selected. For an image, see one of my previous posts on Opera 10.50 hangs on the last Elements

Happy surfing!

I have tried your suggestions but it still doesn't seem to work. Pressing stop doesn't help.

Some websites hang, randomly.

Here its the same on two different machines (XP SP3 and Win7). Just randomly Opera does not complete to load the pages. Nothing helps. New problem with .51.

Security ciphers as shown in one of the last posts are set correctly.

The only thing that worked for me was downgrading to 10.10.

The funny part: 10.10 took the settings of my previous 10.51-installation (there has never been any other Opera-version on this particular machine) and it works like a charm without any changes to these settings.

This is weird.

I have read in other threads that deleting cookies may solve problems. The sites you are having trouble with could be reading the cookies from the sessions that did not load. How important are your cookies to you? When logging in to a site and it asks to remember me on this computer, it is storing the login info in a cookie. If your cookies are not that important, you could delete them all or try deleting cookies of the affected domain and others that are advertisement related. You could also rename the cookie file. This will preserve your cookies and will allow you to browse with a clean cookie file.

Close Opera. Search your hard drive for cookies4.dat. Cookies are stored in the file named cookies4.dat located in the user's Opera profile folder. Locations could be path to \ApplicationData\Opera\Opera. Rename to something like bcookies4.dat or c-cookies4.dat. Restart Opera. If you need go back to your old file, dump the new one and remove the extra letters added to the renamed file.

This helped me>

enable security profiles like explained here:
http://my.opera.com/community/forums/topic.dml?id=475801&t=1271250614&page=1#comment5015921

Enable HTTP 1.1 in "Preferences > Advanced > Network > Proxy Servers"

enable more connections per server and overall (default or even more) "Preferences > Advanced > Network

Delete the harddisk cache. Delete harddisk cache when closing opera "Preferences > Advanced > History"

Delete all cookies "tools > delete private data

Greetings...

Damn, the things i posted above helped just for a short time!!!

Same problems are back!!!!!!!!!!


can anyone help me????????

I have to use IE, this sucks !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

10.50 upgrade was bad. but could live with. now this .51 is jsut becoming too much.. opera as-is now worse than IE..

Know bug for 10.51 you can try the new 10.52 snapshot which fixes this problem or you can simply downgrade.

Originally posted by Haavard:

This build contains more NSL (Never Stops Loading) fixes, in addition to stability fixes and general bug fixing.

Some of the 10.52s are better than other in my experience, I certainly don't find the latest to be a good fix (I had reasonable success with some of them, 3333 especially).

I'll just have to wait for the 10.52.

10.10 is still better than using IE8.

upgrade 10.52 snapshot looks like working

10.51 is a complete dog. I've had to restart my PC 3 times today because it has locked it up. I can't log in to more than half a dozen secure sites and even when it is working many sites simply don't work.

My question is, how do I downgrade back to 10.10?

I'm having to post this using firefox because 10.51 has packed up again.
