As a long time user of Opera I can see where the confusion lies... I'm using Opera 32 and whilst the browser itself is fine the 'tool-bar' is, frankly, rubbish! However if you want to set your homepage go to that distorted Opera icon (top Left) and select 'Settings'-> 'On Start-up'-> 'Open a specific page or set of pages'-> 'Set pages' and viola! While I'm here does anybody know what happened to the copy thingy that sat on the right click that enabled you to save in a wee list?
