I made a "Chess profile" for Opera GX so I can play chess by just opening the profile. The only problem is that when I open the software, it keeps opening a new Speed Dial tab. Is there a way to prevent the browser to open a new tab when the app opens?

@leocg Doesn't work after all. This browser is becoming a big pain in the a**. I'm beginning to really hate it...

@duke-nukem Did you check the On Startup section in settings page?

@leocg Of course. That's how I know it doesn't work. Ever since this most recent update. Opera updates either don't make any improvements, or they screw things up! Not only is this screwed up, but it wiped out all my saved accounts and passwords, along with my browser session. The prior update deleted all my speed dial shortcuts. Luckily I had a screen shot saved so I could re-build it...

@duke-nukem So you uncheck the option to show start page/speed dial on Start up and you still get the Speed Dial page when you start Opera?

@leocg I'm not given the choice for speed dial under start up. I have "begin with fresh start page;" that is unchecked. The next choice is "retain tabs from previous session." That is checked. There is a sub choice under this selection which says "display the start page first." The slider button is turned off. The next choice is "display a specific page or set of pages." This is unchecked. The last choice is "Ask me when Opera is started by a shortcut specifying an URL." The slider button is off.

@duke-nukem Ok, so the Display start page first option nis turned off. When you close Opera there are any speed dial page opened?

@duke-nukem You can try deleting the content of the Sessions folder in profile directory to see what happens,

@leocg That did it. Thank you for the help. Is there a way to recover all my accounts and passwords?

@leocg Yes, but it had nothing to do with your solution. They vanished after the most recent Opera update.
