      And I apologize for the mess. I'm not sure how to make multiple quotes.

        If you change any settings on Opera, is it kept after you close Opera?

        It seems that Opera is not being able to save data on profile folder/directory.

        From there, I do not see a folder of profiles or Opera

        See Opera's Menu > About Opera. There you will find the path to Opera's profile.

        And I apologize for the mess. I'm not sure how to make multiple quotes.

        Select the text you want to quote and click on the 'quote' (") icon just below your avatar.

          Yes, the settings are kept after I close opera.

          Thank you for the heads up. I think I may have found the problem. It looks like I'm missing an entire Library folder. Comparing the directory on the About Opera page and my Finder window next to each other in this screenshot, I don't seem to have a Library folder for Users. http://sta.sh/028krlznxmhb I thought there was only one in Macintosh HD and one in System, but according to Opera, it seems there is a third in Users that I don't have.

            Maybe it's hidden?

              Just read this discussion, there are the keys to make a clean Opera profile on Mac OS.

                I followed your link, Zalex, and I read through the discussion, but I can't figure out how to unhide the files. I see there are several codes to type in to the Terminal, but none of them seemed to work.

                I also went into the Go menu of Finder, selected Go To Folder, and I typed the directory of the Opera profile exactly as it's written on the About page of Opera, but I was just taken to my User folder.

                    Thank you for everyone's feedback, but I'd rather not change anything in my system's directory since I really don't know what I'm doing. I think it's better if I use the regular version of Opera since the account login works and since it is more compatible. I see from that topic that others had that issue as well, so I don't want to do anything that might cause damage. I am sorry to end it here, but I appreciate everyone's assistance.

                      Well, it's very easy but the decision it's up to you. :sherlock:

                        And I appreciate it. Honestly. It's just that I've dealt with a series of problems on Windows computers in the past (not related to Opera). Now that I have a really good Mac, I just want to be extra careful and not change any settings around.
