Not sure why this happens as it doesn't happen every time that I right-click to open an image in a new tab. But it is very annoying at times. Any ideas?
Thanks!!

@hootspur Depends on the site. I can name one site where if you try to open a product image in a new tab it always downloads (in my case that would be gunbroker.com ). I would presume yours is similar.

@sgunhouse Hi there, thanks for replying - so it's just one of those things then? A pity, because it is rather tedious ~ your help is appreciated!

That will not always be the case, but it can happen sometimes. I can't really give you any advice on it but its not because of this browser. It is because of the link.

@aeq Thank you! That was what @sgunhouse was saying too. Well, it looks like I must learn to live with it. Many thanks!

Example page and image link to right-click on and open in a new tab? We can double-check to make sure it's not an Opera bug.

@burnout426 Hi and thank you! Funnily enough, when I right-clicked on the same image on the same page today, it worked just perfectly, ie, it opened in a new tab! Isn't that odd? I'm glad it's working properly again. Thanks again!
