Plug ins in Opera?

Ive now got the Opera Browser, Im liking it more and more. Ive actually removed Mozilla from my system. Planning on keeping IE and Opera for now. Im only seeing a red box with a red x in it where pics are supposed to be. Im also getting a lot of errors saying I need this plug in or that plug in. What is the best way to get all my plug ins functioning properly with Opera. I know they are on my hard drive because they are in IE, Netscape, and Mozilla. Do I need to download each again or is there a better way?

Hi mountaineer,
Did you d/l Java run-time along with Opera?

Go to File>Preferences>Multimedia and there is a button there> Find Plugins

Now that I've settled on Mozilla (no pop-ups) you guys start pumping Opera again. Carl, I've used Opera before and it seems a bit snappier, but is it worth chunking Mozilla?

Sarge,
I have nothing against Mozilla. It is a fast browser, but I'm lazy. I want a HOME button where I can see it without clicking around to find it.
Opera has really done a good job an cookie management, better then IE in my opinion.
I can change the look within Preferences, no popups, etc.
My .02 cents
Carl

Carl, no pop-ups? I'm sold. Besides it's snappier, right?

Sarge,
Thats right, no popups. As a matter of fact, the option reads, "Refuse popups?". You just click on it and no popups.
From my experience with both Mozilla and Opera, Mozilla may be alittle snappier, but not by much. Both browsers leave IE in the dust as far as speed is concerned.

Sarge if you like Mozilla then you should give Phoenix a try.... its faster then Mozilla....

But I still think Opera is the fastest of them all...

I think that Mozilla isn't nearly as fast as Opera. I like the Netscape like looks though.
