Hi again,
I exported my bookmarks, made a note of extensions and then deleted Opera, followed by a Norton Utilities clean up. There were no Opera folders in Programs or Programs(X86) but it still loaded my bookmarks and extensions, with the same result. I think I've wasted enough time on this for what's a minor niggle. Thanks for your attempts at helping.
Hi again,
Being a glutton for punishment, I gave it another go, this time reading the instructions properly and getting a fresh install with no bookmarks, etc. I input the required address and got exactly the same issue.
Talking of issues, I get odd graphics issues with Windows 10, eg missing links until I run the mouse over their locations. I'm waiting for feedback from the W10 forum. Perhaps that'll help. I really don't want to waste any more time (or yours!). Thanks for trying.
Hi, It didn't happen when I was using Windows 7. Perhaps there's a bit of an issue with the flat screen monitor that W10 says it can't find drivers for, even though it seems OK apart from this issue and the screen cropping one reported elsewhere.
When reading an item on my mobile that I also want to look at on my PC, or save for later, I send a link to myself by email (Gmail), using the 'press and hold' function on the link to access the 'send to' menu. I recently started using an iPhone SE and found that when I followed the procedure, the resulting email had two copies of the link. This isn't happening on Firefox or Duckduckgo. See link to screen shots (if it will load).[link text].
It wasn't happening on my Samsung/Android when using Opera. (https://www.mediafire.com/folder/trcuw7nfvibiv/Pics)
Thanks, s, Laptop shut down and packed away now I've got my new PC up and running. I'll keep a reminder to try to find this information when I have a minute.

Hi Ted, Luckily for me, I'm only using Linux on my laptop whist I get a new PC going, so I hope Opera techies are looking at this for you.

Hi,
I have an intermittent problem with bookmarks. I have a large number of bookmark folder tabs and, most of the time, when I click on a tab, I get the drop down menu of the individual links. Sometimes, though, there's "flash" but nothing else happens. I have to shut Opera down and restart to get it to work as intended. Version number is 90.0.4480.37, running on Ubuntu.

I had to reset Opera to get a web page to load properly. I got all my bookmarks back byu export/import and reacticated all my extensions but most of te extensions eg password manager, aren't visible on the toolbar.
Please advise,
Ian
@prsy Hi,
Thanks for that. A quick check shows it was Firefox I was thinking of! One to note for future developments?
Meanwhile, thanks for the quick response.
Ian
I regularly use the option to open up a new tab from a link in a document I was sure there's an option to either open the tab but stay put (which is what happens now) or go straight to the new tab. I can't find anything in settings, though. Am I imagining things?
Thanks,
Ian

Just out of interest, I was in Gmail, clicking on the Subject line when this happened. Cancelling got me back to the email form.
