  On tab position, here are a couple of Opera extensions you might want to consider.

  Tab Position Options, https://addons.opera.com/en/extensions/details/tab-position-options/?display=en

  Classic Tabs, https://addons.opera.com/en/extensions/details/classic-tabs/?display=en

  You can save a session, if you have its tabs open, by right clicking on the tab, and then choosing to save them all, that is, "save tabs as speed dial folder." Then you can, if you like copy them over to a bookmarks folder. It's your choice how to store them for reopening.

  Also, you can set Opera to Open where it closed last time (picking up all of the open tabs). Just go to alt P (settings), and for Startup, put a check in "Continue Where I Left Off."

  If you want something more sophisticated, there's the Chrome extension, SessionsBuddy, https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/session-buddy/edacconmaakjimmfgnblocblbcdcpbko

  To download a Chrome Extension, you do need the Opera Extension, Download Chrome extension https://addons.opera.com/en/extensions/details/download-chrome-extension-9/?display=en Or Extension Source Viewer https://addons.opera.com/en/extensions/details/extension-source-viewer?display=en

  You can try the extension, and if you don't like it, just uninstall it.

  Was. Sometimes even a good site (or an ad server they use) gets hacked, and so a page that was fine yesterday can be bad today - and if they clean it up, good next week.

  Yandex is a major Russian search engine. As with other search engines, if they find malware while indexing a site, they report it. The site's owners should be able to contact Yandex and find out what they saw, then clean it up and ask Yandex to scan them again.

  Is your network that bad? People have previously reported that if the network goes down and comes back up, Opera won't find it without closing and restarting, so that's my guess - that your system reconnects automatically but Opera can't find the new connection.

  What version do you have? There was a version with that error, but it is supposed to have been fixed already. The current version is 22.0.1471.70 ... if you don't have that, then update it manually.

  Help, part of my bookmarks are missing

  @hvbog, if you are running Win 7 with shadow-copying enabled, you may be able to recover the bookmarks file from an earlier timeframe. You locate the bookmarks.adr file in the file Explorer, right click it > select Properties > select Previous Versions tab > wait for any previous versions to appear on the listing (it could take many seconds, for a large file structure). If they do appear, select one from a hopefully "safe" earlier time point and restore it. A lot depends on whether your Win installation has shadow-copy enabled, the size of the shadow-copy storage space allocation on the drive, and how much file "churning" has occurred... when the shadow file gets full, it pushes the oldest files off to make space for the newest.

  @ssoftwar1: please see this thread: https://forums.opera.com/topic/3975/opera-not-working-even-after-reinstalling/4 , with special attention to getting some security forum assistance.

  If you actually had malware successfully install onto your system (as you've stated: "viruses"), there's a fair chance some of it still remains, even if you've used one or two removal tools. This is particularly true for multiple instances of infection. Until you are absolutely sure your computer is clean, there's a good chance you're simply chasing your tail. I've seen instances of adware re-spawning its processes in Task Manager after a few seconds delay, right after removing the more visible traces of the adware files. This stuff can embed itself in all manner of hidden places on a system and auto-regenerate from those places, particularly after restarting a system.

  Of late, I've run into more and more instances of users infected by 'routine' adware that leads directly to viral infections. These infections are tougher to get rid of than the ones a year or two ago. I don't know if it's a genuine broad trend, but it sure seems like it.

  i used malwarebytes and adwcleaner and it supposedly scanned and cleaned my pc. the problem is still there. i have no idea if they removed "apps hat" in particular, but i do know that they removed other malwares and viruses.

  If those two products removed "other... viruses ", then you may still have a malware infection or remnants thereof (beyond AppsHat adware) which the two products cannot deal with. A fair number of nasties require a variety of tools to assure full removal. If it were my system, and because there was a confirmed viral infection, I'd take any information about your problem and what was removed thus far and visit a security cleanup site (eg: like http://www.dslreports.com/forum/cleanup) and post there, requesting confirmation that the system is truly clean... they'll likely have you install some additional removal tools before posting. It seems like a lot of bother, but it does get the cleanup job done.

  Oh, that didn't used to be like that, before the current version Opera Blink used to re-check the whole field for correctly/incorrectly typed words just like Opera Presto does. It's a new bug I reported as DNA-21956.

  Removing Google Search from the Speed Dial

  :))) Oh well.

  Now, if you are going to keep the browser open all day, follow the procedure I outlined. It's a few simple clicks, and then you can type from the main address bar, without using the code letter, and you will have that new default engine, until you close the browser. So you'd have to go to Tools > Preferences > Search. Highlight the engine you want as default while the browser is open -- let's say DuckDuckGo -- and then go to Edit > Details > put a check in Use as Default Search Engine.

  But linuxmint7 is right. It only works while the browser is open. Once you close it and open it again, what you've changed is lost. Sorry there. I thought I had made a discovery.

  Looking at the bright side of things, by following the procedure I recommended on getting rid of the Google Search bar from the Speed Dial, you have succeeding in hiding it. When I closed and opened Opera 12.17, and went to the Speed Dial page, the Google Search bar was gone.

  Opera Mail sending good mail to "Junk"

  FIXED

  The problem is fixed. I haven't had mail mysteriously disappear since May, when I made the changes listed under "WHAT I'VE DONE", below.

  WHAT I DIDN'T REALIZE

  I didn't realize that Opera has built-in spam filtering software that is independent of, and separate from, the spam filtering software my webhost provides on my mail server. I had already setup my webhost's spam software. Then, when I setup Opera's software, good mail started disappearing into my Spam folder.

  WHAT I'VE DONE

  I turned off Opera's built-in spam filter. All Messages > right click the Spam mailbox > Properties... > Rules > Internal filter > Off. Then, Options > unchecked "Learn from labeled messages".

  (For the benefit of those reading this who want to learn, Opera's spam software is built into the Opera browser. You activate it in the Properties of the Spam mailbox that appears under All Messages. All Messages is in your Mail panel. If you don't see the Mail panel when you're reading your mail, hit F4. If you still don't see your Mail panel, hit Shift F12 > Panels > checkmark Mail. That'll bring up the Mail panel. Then, if you don't see a Spam mailbox in the Mail panel, click the wrench to the right of the Compose heading, and checkmark All Messages. Now, right click the Spam mailbox, and click Properties.... In the Spam dialog box, on the Rules tab, change Internal filter to Medium or Strong. Then, go to the Options tab, and checkmark "Learn from labeled messages". -- Or, if like me you want to turn it off, change Internal filter to Off.)

  I also disabled local spam filtering in this specific e-mail account. Opera > Mail and Chat Accounts... > double clicked [my IMAP account] > IMAP tab > checked "Disable local spam filter for this account (server-side filtering)".

  THANKS
  I thank you guys, (and gals), for your help!

  hello dirgas, and thank you for your willing to help me out. But I'm afraid that I might not be such an expert in order to really figure how it's done. I actually have no idea where and how exactly do I even find this option in my Symbian version, if you could provide me the exact steps in order to get the result it would be really helpful. I really apologize for not being able to follow your explaination

  Opera 12.17 hangs on "Connecting to remote host..." until time out

  @operahandsdown: FWIW, just as a test, I went to the https://newegg.rebateaccess.com/ site you noted using Opera 12.14. With JavaScript enabled, the site timed out with only a white screen displayed, though it stalled at 10/11 elements loaded. With JavaScript disabled, the site loaded at 6/6 elements and the "Enter promotion number..." box appeared (though I didn't try to see if that functioned). Apparently, there are multiple elements being called from the site's JavaScript, and the Presto Opera versions don't like either the JS coding or at least one element/reference being called by it...

  In any case, like @rseiler, I don't experience the Opera paralysis you described while waiting for the page-load to time out.
