Opera I guess has abandoned ppc users even for powerful boxes like G5's and Pros. You can remove them from your browsers esp Safari and still be safe and still view videos.

I reinstalled adobe's latest version, I found Hate and remove all versions from the library. I ran the adobe uninstaller, and also ran terminal to find adobe which I I am running Snow Leopard, but have a lion os cd coming in the mail, plus 4 gig of memory coming since lion is more cumbersome.
