      When you're in example in Facebook and you click the address bar to go somewhere some humongous box appears which obviously has speed dial links in it. How do I disable that?

          To disable the speed-dial select the gear icon on your sidebar. Scroll to "Sidebar" and click manage sidebar. Uncheck Speed-dial. That should stop it from making pop-ups. Unfortunately, there is no way to disable it for certain websites without 3rd party add-ons. Good luck!

              I don't see it here. I remember something like that in a old version of Opera but as far as I know it was removed since a while.

                I want to disable this appearing window.

                Try disabling 'Use a prediction service...' (or something like that) in Opera's settings.

                Although it looks more like a display issue.

                  This is the popup that I was talking about:
                  https://picload.org/view/rplddoww/screenshot_2.png.html

                  Try disabling 'Use a prediction service...' (or something like that) in Opera's settings.

                  I think the option you meant is:

                  https://picload.org/view/rplddowi/screenshot_1.png.html

                  translated as Use Predictive Service to complete search queries and URLs when typing into the address bar
                  this checkbox has not been activated on my PC

                    http://prntscr.com/fsu35g These are the options there and none work. It's the same window as @marseipan showed on his 1st link. I cant seem to be able to disable it at all.

                      I don't see it in any my Opera's installations.

                      I think the option you meant is:

                      Yep, if it would for disabling search suggestions, but what you are facing is another thing.

                      I would try a reinstall with a clean profile folder.

                        Reinstalled like gazilion times, nothing changes. When i try to search for anything while being in any website i get this ugly box. It's the speed dial box because the same links from there show in this box.

                          Did you remove your data?
