@lfx6jvj6mdm8 I finally got Opera to quit. I'm not sure how, except I sent all three crash reports (which offer to let me add information but don't)
Now Opera will not start properly!
It opens a window, then tries to open the first tab that was open at the time I finally quit. But Opera gets stuck, showing the 'busy spinner' cursor. Opera is so stuck it won't come to the front when I click on it's icon in the dock.
Maybe my satisfaction and happiness with previous Opera is clouding my judgement? Maybe I should just give up, uninstall it, and use the disk-space for something more useful, like a Windows-version of a Microsoft browser?
I feel very sad. Opera was much better than Safari, Chrome or Firefox.
PS - I'm writing this using Firefox.
