Opera Crashing On Me 20-30 Times a Day

[NakaNaka]

THis is getting rediculous, I can't even surf the web anymore. Every few pages it just crashes. It's not the pages, because sometimes its Anandtech, sometimes it's a simple page, it just keeps crashing. This started when I downloaed the latest version. WTF. Any solution?

Thanks

I heard that the 6.x versions are much more stable than the 7. I'm not sure though since I use Firebird.

Did you install the java version or version without java?

I would reinstall it again,try another fresh download,might also be better to remove the old version as well.

Maybe you should go to Opera forums and ask there; the developers might know solution for your crashes

btw: I use Opera 7.11 and it doenst crash on my system

yea opera crashed a lot for me when i WAS using it. it was funny cuz it would work fine after a clean install, then out of nowhere it would start to crash 2-more times a day. Fvck that, switched to Mozilla and never looked back.

I personally can't see why anyone would prefer mozilla unless they're that anal about proper animation speed of *.gifs. Opera was very unstable for me when my cpu was overclocked a bit to far. It may just be more sensitive than other programs. At least it can resume "if" it crashes.

i have no idea wtf you're talking about, i only use mozilla cuz it's faster than IE and more stable than opera (this is just in my experience of course since YMMV).

I use Mozilla because it supports plug-ins that add just about any browsing features that I want. It's also fast, stable, and very customizeable. Best of all, it's free, unlike Opera.

I've never heard anything about the animation speed of gif files in Mozilla. Most people use it because it's a good, free browser.

I was the biggest Opera supporter there ever was since 1998 but I finally bailed after 7.11. I'm sick and tired of all the 7.xx iterations. They're just too unstable. I've never had trouble with Opera in the past, just with 7.xx. Since Opera is no longer supporting 6.0x I went to Firebird .6 about 2 months ago. It's as fast as Opera, WAAAY more stable (it hasn't crashed once on me in 2 months) and has less issues with displaying websites. The "free" thing isn't an issue for me because I've always paid for Opera. I don't mind throwing a little money to a good piece of software, which Opera has been until 7.xx.

My Experience with Opera 7.11 has been very good in general,I would still say IE6 is more stable,but in general Opera is about 99% stable for me,it`s a lot faster then IE6 that`s for sure.The resume after crash feature is very nice and I`ve only had to use that a few times over the last year.

In the end we can only judge a product on our own PCs not anybody elses computer.

Even with mine crashing alot lately...its still better than IE

Opera 7.11 here. Running stable under Win XP and I use Opera a lot. By far their best version.

I think it was a skin I was using. I'm back to default and I'm only crashing couple times a day, and on non-stable sites. I don't know why the skin would affect things, but things have changed for the better

Why go through all that BS just for a browser? It crashes a few times a day and you still use it!!?LOL

I used Opera 7.X for about a week until it started crashing....I quickly went back to IE and Ill never go back...A browser isnt the most important piece of software to me...I simply want something stable that shows me my webpages! Some will say that other browsers are faster...maybe a little bit...but who cares!? How fast does a browser need to be?
