Opera 9.51 is out

The latest version of Opera has been released today and is available for download at the official Opera website. The new version introduces several changes to the user interface that has been introduced in Opera 9.5 as well as several security and stability fixes that makes the new version an urgent download for everyone running Opera 9.5.
The release notes list four security fixes and several stability issues that have been fixed, most notably probably a stability issue with Yahoo Mail, menus on Deviantart and the TinyMCE editor.
Opera 9.51 is as usual available for all supported operating systems including Windows, Linux and Apple Mac. Users who already have the RC3 of Opera 9.51 installed do not need to upgrade because both versions, the RC3 and the final version of 9.51, are identical.
