New Opera developer 38

Dear Sir/Madame,

Today I lost 20 open tabs when I inadvertently closed Opera browser, they were all tabs on subjects I was researching.

I know I can go through the laborious process of restoring one by one from History.

Is there a way to "undo last action" or can you create "restore" button which Chrome browser has,
which I stopped using because it used to crash so much.

I feel that today's and future users of Opera would much appreciate that

Thanking you in anticipation

Settings > Startup > Continue from where I left of? (Or something like that)

Latest update causes the VPN to never connect. Will try from additional networks tonight.

Its nice not having it crash now though lol

I rarely use the "mail" dedicated key on my keyboard, as I start my preferred email client (Thunderbird)from the taskbar.

However, I tried using it today, and was surprised that it launched Opera Developer 38.0.2213.0 rather than Thunderbird. A quick look at file associations shows that "mailto" protocol had been reassigned to Opera Developer.

After changing "mailto" back to the Thunderbird default, I started up Opera Dev. again, which immediately grabbed back the "mailto" assignment.

I want to choose which email client I use, and therefore I'd like to know how to stop Opera Dev. from doing this.

I'd like to know how to stop Opera Dev. from doing this.

Control Panel > Default Programs > Set Default Programs > Select Opera > Set the defaults for this program > Mark all but Mailto

Then select Thunderbird and make sure Mailto is selected.

I guess it may help.

Hi,

I'm inside network where all ports except 80 an 443 are blocked (proxy is used to reach outside URLs). Do you plan to support such case by your built-in VPN service?

I've done that several times, but the problem is that every time Opera Dev. starts up, it changes the mailto default back to itself from whatever I have set it to (in this case, Thunderbird).
It's obviously rewriting the mailto entry in the Registry, and I imagine that it's because Opera might again have a built-in email client. That's fair enough, but my email system in Thunderbird is carefully set up to filter, classify and archive "stuff", and that's the client I plan to keep using for the moment. I'm happy to use an Opera email client (as used to be the case) under some circumstances, but I do not want it to be the default mailto - not least because it will have no connection to my Thunderbird Address Books, where outgoing email addresses are stored by default.

I've now sorted this out. The problem arose because of Settings>Privacy>Handlers, where Gmail was set as a handler site. Delete that and it's now OK.
