Install Adblock Plus 3.8.1 for Opera
When releasing Adblock Plus 3.8 we ran into an issue with the Opera Addons website that prevented us from making the new version available on Opera (core#132). This issue has been resolved now, and we finally were able to deliver the update on Opera as Adblock Plus 3.8.1. Other than a minor change required for submission on Opera Addons this build is identical to what has been released as Adblock Plus 3.8 for other browsers.
