      @mgeffro If I knew how to do any of that, I'd be glad to. Unfortunately I am not savvy that way.

        See https://blogs.opera.com/desktop/2019/05/opera-60-0-3255-84-stable-update/

        An update with a fix was released already.

          @leocg Thank you for that! Though on installation, I found that I lost everything from before - all my bookmarks, etc. Damn.

              @leocg I did. There are no bookmarks or any other preferences now, and the Speed Dial page has gone back to default. It's a blank slate, basically, like I never installed it before.

                What version of Opera were you using before the update?

                  @leocg Since it only gives me a black screen, I have no way of checking which version it was. I installed it about eight months ago, though.

                    Okay, but you know at least if it was an stable version?

                    Anyway, if you don't update for a long time, such things may happen.

                      @leocg Now I've another question. Now that I've installed the update, where's the VPN? I see nothing on the screen to tell me where I can see it or make changes. Isn't there supposed to be a VPN connection with this? (Thanks for any help, :))

                          @leocg Jesus, I'm having nothing but problems with this thing. I enabled the VPN and it promptly refused to load any pages at all. Turned it off - still won't load anything. Just spins its wheels. I'm going to try restarting my computer, but if that doesn't work, I'm dumping it. This is WAY more trouble than a browser is worth.

                            Create another topic to discuss about VPN issues.
