Thanks. I did that, disabled the Nitro Pro plugin that was enabled for some reason, enabled the Adobe plugin, and now I can save.

Enable it in "opera:flags" first, restart Opera, then enable it in settings. The feature is not complete yet, so it's not enabled by default. Closing a tab still cycles to the previous tab on the tab bar, but Ctrl Tab and Ctrl Shift Tab work OK. They are working on improvements to tab-handling.

No loading images in Opera 18 Final, but if I clear cache, it worked.
The issue was in Opera 17 as well. I wanted to fix it in Opera 18.
Well, whenever the images don't load, should I clear my cache and reopen Opera? :down:

You can also use many Chrome extensions, including Chrome bookmark extensions, in Opera 18. On the other hand, the Opera bookmarks extension is not recommended. It was designed for an earlier version of Opera Blink, which had no bookmarks, and does not use the same bookmark files used by Opera 18 and Chrome.

Bookmark and other Chrome extensions are available for download from the Chrome Web Store. Prior to visiting the Chrome Web Store, you should install the Download Chrome Extensions extension from Opera add-ons.

@rilef thanks for the tip. do you recommend any specific bookmarks extension?

I just had what sounds like the exact same problem with Opera 12.15, but I found a workaround. Flash worked the last time I tried it and then today it didn't work and I was getting messages that I needed to install flash, even after I just did several re-installs. But I fixed the problem by going to a recent file backup of Opera and identifying any different files (I used BeyondCompare file comparison program), and I found some files in the 'defaults' folder (C:\Program Files\Opera\defaults) and also a couple of files in the 'profile' folder I think, I forget, but it was only about 6 files altogether that were different between the existing Opera and the very recent backup. Since I knew that Opera hadn't changed much, if at all, I copied the old files back into the Opera folders, and Presto! Problem solved. Flash is now working. So I don't know exactly what caused the problem, but at least I was able to overcome it. The only thing I can think of that might have caused the problem is a Windows XP Update that I ran last night, but that doesn't sound very likely.

Something seems to be wrong with your settings. When you go to a (login) page, Opera automatically fills the username and password fields if the data is already known.

Maybe you have disabled autofill?

Ok, using the info in this post
http://my.opera.com/community/forums/topic.dml?id=1765432&t=1385768814&page=1#comment14809222

helped a lot, the only issue was that i don't have a /profile folder so i had to locate my roaming folder

So for me the below command worked

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Opera Next\launcher.exe" --presto-small-prefs-dir="C:\Users\noodlesoup\AppData\Roaming\Opera\Opera64"

Not yet, AFAIK, but they said they would tell is how.

I am still waiting to find out.

If I go to **www.**startpage.com the connection becomes "secure" again. If I reload a GET search query, with the longer domain, the connection is also secure.

Thanks, it's a good workaround.

Though it would be nice to know if without www the connection is really unsecure, or it is secure, only Opera says it isn't.

It is more constructive to read some threads first before posting, then add some comments in appropriate wish-list threads. Or, post some constructive feedback in the Desktop Team Blog.

Leave out all the whining such: “What on earth has the development management been thinking of, REMOVING all of those great features?”

Had you done some reading first, you would know that they haven't removed them. They were never there from the start of Opera 15. They are slowly adding back essential features. The much maligned tab-stacking feature is not essential, but I find it useful.

Well, strictly speaking, those features have not been removed. The question should be, “Why not implement them again in Opera Next?” The answer is, “Because Opera Next is being redesigned to be simpler, easier to use, and easier to maintain. The more (unnecessary) features are added, the more complicated it gets, and then it becomes just a Geek's browser again.”

Some features should be implemented. If they are not, I for one will never upgrade, and I am sure that goes for many other long-term users.

Everybody's going to have different opinions about Essential Features Needed Before Upgrading.

Dragonfly, for example, is just a nuisance for me, so I removed it from my menus, but they are already working on Dragonfly for Opera Next.

It doesn't look like a "button" anymore because it's flat and square, which must be the new way to excercise the eyes along with low contrast (to compensate for high contrast LCDs no doubt).
Opera runs all associated processes in "Below Normal" priority...

I can confirm the observations of tobiasra.

I suspect the change is the result of this discussion:

http://my.opera.com/community/forums/topic.dml?id=1678202&t=1385663346&page=1#comment14420242

For me Opium dynamically changes priority to Normal (8) for the foreground tab, and Below Normal (6) to background tabs. Video does stutter occasionally on the configuration where Opera 12 works well.

I'm not sure how this can be resolved because in the previous situation pages overloaded with Flash could hang a PC. Perhaps like with all normal software that deals with multimedia playback, a process/thread priority setting could be added. Do not be afraid of a Preferences dialog. The browser is not exactly a media player. But if you try to combine the functionality of one into it, a large options dialog seems unavoidable, for use cases, where the browser is mainly used for semi-realtime media playback, or browsing.
Bookmark importer issue in opera 18

I tried some fiddling around but I don't see why my opera 18 is having trouble reading opera 12 profile ?
the folder for opera 18 is in appdata/roaming/opera software
and for opera12 it is appdata/roaming/opera

and both are 32 bit.

so I still don't get it that why is opera 18 not reading through the old profile.
and where is that one single bookmark of bing.com coming from ?

I think if I can find the location of that bing bookmark I may find the source of trouble.

These days it's mostly being reported in Linux as there is no later version of Opera for Linux yet.

If you see it on every website - including this one - then it is something else, since MyOpera does not use web fonts.
