I'm thinking maybe it's not an Opera bug, but a way some companies have invented to get around the adblocker. There's anti-adblocker software out there now, and I've seen it elsewhere.

While we're on that topic, how do I access settings in the built-in adblocker? I'm on
v.37

Thanks for this. I have the same issue, and thought I was missing a codec.

I have older eyes, and every theme still has the narrow gray toolbars on top with too-small navigation keys, although my monitor is 25".

Do you know if there's anything in the works for future versions to customize the toolbars/menu bars? Am I correct that this feature was present in some previous versions?

Nothing moves, but I just D/L this, and it lets you produce that rt-click menu. I have about 1500 bookmarks, so orderly sorting is important.

I'm getting the feel of Opera. Some of the functions that are native to Firefox have to be added to Op with extensions.

Thanks to everyone who helped

I uninstalled and reinstalled, but nothing has changed. I can interact with the Opera bookmarks in the toolbar, but not the Firefox ones in the sidebar. They're in a folder called "Other bookmarks," and I can't drag that into the toolbar on top.

V. 36.0.2130.75

I'm going to uninstall and reinstall.

I have no "edit" icon that looks like a pen, a bus or a sweet potato.

I'll do the editing in Speed Dial.

I also downloaded this extension yesterday:
https://addons.opera.com/en/extensions/details/v7-bookmarks/?display=en
The "please wait" icon spins, but nothing comes up.

I was just thinking: maybe the newest Opera can't run properly on Win XP.

I'm not a newbie; I've been computing 20 years. I wouldn't bring it up if I already succeeded.

The rt-click menu has this for both Opera and FF bookmarks:
"Open in new tab
in new window
in private window
background tab"

No"edit."

The bookmarks will not drag; I get the "do not enter" symbol.

Speed-dial is not my homepage; changed it long ago to NYTimes.com. OK, so now SD shows my bookmarks interactively, but I want to do that on the sidebar of a webpage. Speed-Dial takes up an entire window. Is that possible?

I have something whose icon looks like a 2-legged table that I got from the menu. The bookmarks appear in the sidebar, but I can't do anything like renaming, moving or removing. I downloaded an other extension called "V7 bookmarks," but it blanks out the sidebar completely.

I don't know what Speed Dial does. It just produces a blank page when I click it.

This browser has become a disappointment. The manual is missing so many things. It had been so easy to use a few years ago, more intuitive and with fewer "improvements." It's going the way of Firefox.
