I've tried every trick I know but Opera 48.0 will always open in a small window & not a maximized window using Ubuntu 16.04. Is there a remedy to this?

@jimunderscorep So what does this mean? I don't know how to alter the guts of the browser. I just want it to open in a maximized window...

You either launch it, e.g from a terminal or from a run dialog app, as I said in the other thread or edit it's desktop file (= it's icons shortcut).
To edit the .desktop file, open (as root)
/usr/share/applications/opera.desktop
with a text editor and change line 7 from
Exec=opera %U
to
Exec=opera %U --start-maximized
Save, close the file and you are done.
2 things to consider
a) Updating/reinstalling opera wil overwrite the file, so you will have to do it again.
b) The issue has existed before opera 48 -

@jimunderscorep Got it! Thank you! I had to install Nautilus-admin so I could run this as root. Works great now!
