Okay, I haven't used Opera in at least 2 years. Today I installed 10.0 on my laptop, purchased last March, which has never had Opera installed on it, ever.

Somehow, my two-year-old bookmark list was there when it finished installing and opened. I never told it to import...never told it to do ANYTHING, I merely installed it and it was there.

what the hell just happened :tinfoil:

It automatically imports any bookmarks it can find from other installed browsers.

Well here's the thing...the other installed browsers had a far different set of bookmarks, and the copies installed on the laptop had never had these older bookmarks to begin with anyway.

I will continue to be mystified, unless Firefox somehow keeps old deleted bookmarks somehow.

Every time I download a .torrent, I get this stupid dialog:



With Opera always preselected and the "remember choice" box grayed out. Does this happen to anyone else, and is there a way to open it directly with uTorrent or at least have uTorrent preselected? I've already told it do open it with uTorrent in the Downloads preferences.

Well, there's the obvious answer about whether or not you picked "Use system default" and then tried checking "Remember choice and do not show again", assuming it becomes clickable once you select "use system default".

If not, there's always the standard trick of going to the URL opera:config, expanding the BitTorrent section, and unchecking "Enable". I think Opera will then consider torrent files as any other file it can download.

Yeah, the obvious answer didn't work, but the opera:config did, I didn't know it was that easily accessible. Good times.

Or Opera

the Profile folder is deprecated from Opera 10, as far as I can tell. Appdata\Local\Opera\Opera is the previous "root" folder while Appdata\Roaming\Opera\Opera is what used to be the Profile folder. Put it in the root there.

It does in fact do just that.. Firefox 3.0 and above use a completely different bookmarks database, but they leave the old bookmarks file in place. And the old one (most likely) is the one that Opera looked for, and read from.

I was trying to figure out why my bookmarks file had not been updated in Firefox since Mar 2008 or some such thing, and just read all about that.

I am trying to downgrade to 9.64 and I am learning more than I want to about where different browsers store their bookmark files, and whatnot.

What I am not learning is why everyone (Opera included) wants to keep changing their bookmarks file format. Especially Opera (which has a small installed base) should really hesitate to change where they store their bookmark file, and the format of the file.

I am having absolutely no luck with Opera 10 and a big part of my frustration is that since they changed their bookmark file format and location, LaunchBar (Like Launchy but for Macs) does not know how to parse the bookmark file which means in order to use it I have to keep exporting a html copy of the bookmark file.

That's really odd. I've used every weekly of Opera 10 and haven't had that problem in months-- and definitely not right now. That sucks though. That bug drove me nuts for the longest time. :(

okay thanks, I just didn't see the urlfilter file in the root directory at all.

next question, is anyone having trouble dling snapshots with autoupdate? "download all snapshots" is checked, but what exactly does the "state" field mean? I assumed it was on/off (0 or 1) but the arrows will go up to 18...

So I upgraded to Opera 10 and my browsing is extremely slow
The program is fine, but it seems like my internet connection got downgraded to a 56k modem.

Like just going to google just now, it spent on the order of a minute trying to connect. Then it loaded the page fine. But once I visit a page once in a browsing session, I can then load the page fine (new tab and enter in google.com is instant). This behavior is happening with all addresses.

Is Opera doing some sort of phishing check, or some sort of checking with some service that is slowing down my browsing? I searched through the prefs but didn't see anything that caught my eye.

Is Opera Turbo switched on? There'll be a button with a little speedometer icon somewhere. It actually makes things slower on fast connections as all webpages get routed/compressed through Opera's quite-overloaded servers.

I just switched back from Safari to Opera (latest build, 10-something?), and I can't get Hotmail to work properly. Whenever I load the page, I get the usual Hotmail-banner on the top, and then a looooooooong bit of nothing before I get to the rest of the page. Kingdom of Loathing seems to have the same problem, so I'm guessing it's frame-related. I tried the 'identify as' and 'masquerade as'-options, but they don't seem to do anything, and I have no clue what else I might try.

So, I use Opera at work and we develop CMS solutions for our clients. The text editor we use is TinyMCE, and after either the Alpha or Beta 1, TinyMCE loading seems to be adding a bunch of Javascript calls to the History whenever it loads. Suffice to say, thus makes the back button almost useless on any of these pages. Any ideas on how to surpress JS events from being added to the history? Thanks!

See if the stuff here helps you. Specifically, you'd change the global setting in opera:config and see if it works for that site, then probably make a userjs to change it for that site only (they really should add this to Site Preferences).

My 'solution' to Opera cannot load this site problems is to wait a couple of days. It does in fact usually work. Ebay and Paypal stop working properly sometimes, and the problems resolve themselves.

But since that is a Microsoft site that might be never fixed. Microsoft used to intentionally hamstring other browsers.

If you are having trouble getting Opera Link to work find your Opera settings folder and delete the files labeled with an extension of ".pre_sync"

I love Opera, but why doesn't it do this sort of housekeeping itself?

First of all, there's no error messages. The pages are just displayed with excessive white space.

Secondly, that's a link from six years ago, when non-IE users were a minority. Microsoft isn't going to boycott anyone, especially with gmail existing. And if they did, it would be better-known issue, while I can't seem to find any pages related to what I'm seeing.

Turns out it was just a stupid "fit to width" problem where Opera did some strange zooming with the page. Unchecking the option under preferences -> web pages fixed it.

tiny plastic novelty palm trees are all I need
I may be the only person in the world who uses tabs on the left, but hopefully one of you guys can answer this: with the tab bar aligned left and set to wrap to multiple lines, does everyone else have a space at the bottom of the bar that won't fill with tabs? It's about 2 tabs tall maximized, but if I resize the window it can be as small as 1 tab high - resizing smaller than that causes a tab to hop to the next line and makes the space 2 tabs high again.

This was not a problem in 9.64, but both a clean 10 install and an upgrade from 9.64 have the same issue. Any idea how to reclaim that space, or is this a bug that Opera needs to fix?

Edit: a bit of testing shows that it's exactly the height of the New Tab button and the extender menu >> button put together. Why are those having space saved for them when I've removed the first and turned the second off by selecting wrap to multiple lines? Beats me.

If you need space that much, try using the Window list panel instead of the regular tab bar. It's functionally the same with much smaller text to fit more tabs, and you can toggle in on/off with at an instant.

I gave that a try, but I found the lack of right-click options, unread tab indicators and various other things to be frustrating and not really worth the extra screen real estate. Ideally, I'd like to be able to open up the right click + mousewheel tab selector and then click on the tab I'm after, and I'd also like to have the option of showing a thumbnail for each tab in a speed dial-esque grid - basically Vista's alt-tab, but for the browser. With a more powerful pop-up tab selector and an easy way to show and hide the address bar, I could spend most of my time in fullscreen and not worry about screen real estate.

I finally managed to figure out that it is something to do with a OSX update that is making Opera crash every time I try and print.

Is there anyone else on OSX 10.5 and Opera that has figured out which of the 10.5.8 related updates are responsible for the 'crash on print' error?
