I regularly end up with hundreds of open tabs and have to save them as a Speed Dial folder to alleviate the load on the machine. I then virtually never access those Speed Dial folders again. Scanning all the tabs to see which ones I want to close is a lengthy operation which I seldom feel like doing. In the meantime, I constantly use CTRL + SPACE (Instant Search), where I typically see a few tabs listed which I don’t need any more. Clicking on a check box next to each such tab to close it right away would be a simple method to keep the number of open tabs manageable, without having to spend time visiting them and possibly lose your train of thought.

Hi all,
I happen to save specific web pages outside of my default download directory and I am used to type the first letter of a directory to easily select it. This works in many Linux applications and worked as well in Opera until recently. It does not work anymore and does strange things. So how can I select a non default save directory without having to scroll among tens of files?

Hi all,

I am a great fan of the "Search for open tabs" feature and its convenient "CTRL + SPACE" shortcut. This option would IMHO be even greater if it displayed on each line a "Close" button (beside the icon on the right to switch to this tab), or alternatively a selection box with a "Close" button at the bottom of the dialog, which would close all the selected tabs (those boxes would be selected by default). I think this would be much more useful than for instance the "Close tabs to the right" option found on clicking on a tab’s header.

Creating Speed Dial Folders
Open all the tabs you want to save, right-click one of the tabs and choose "Save tabs as Speed Dial folder" to save the entire session. Opera doesn't assign a name to the new folder automatically, so you need to do it manually. Click "Opera," click "Speed Dial" to open the Speed Dial page, right-click the folder and click "Edit title." Type a name and click "OK." To open all the Web pages in the folder at once, right-click the folder and choose "Open all" from the context menu. To add new pages to the folder, click the folder, then the "+" button, type each address and click "Add it." To display the Speed Dial page when you launch the Web browser, click "Opera," "Settings" and then the "Open the start page" radio button in the On Startup section.

Thanks, I will try the developer version then.

Hi all,

I am currently using a somewhat obsolete 32 bits laptop with Debian wheezy and would like to install the last opera browser alongside with Opera 12.16 which I need to manage my emails.

When I try to install opera-stable using dpkg, I get:
Selecting previously unselected package opera-stable.
dpkg: considering removing opera in favour of opera-stable ...
dpkg: yes, will remove opera in favour of opera-stable
Hopefully I hit CTRL+C quickly enough because dpkg would remove opera 12.16 altogether without prompting.

How can I have opera 12.16 and opera 45 on the same 32 bits computer?

Well, a global upgrade did the trick
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

Same problem with Chromium 55 BTW.

Hi all,
I just upgraded to 43.0.2442.806 on Debian 8 Jessie. I am lacking video support according to https://html5test.com : see http://migo.info/share/video_opera.png
Flash and youtube work in Firefox. Firefox however is not decently usable, that’t why I’m trying Opera again.
I tried "apt-get install pepperflashplugin-nonfree" but it ended up with public keys missing or whatever mess, so I removed it. I also noticed that the flash plugin has disappeared in opera:plugins.
Any clue? Still such a bore after all those years.
Cheers,
Alexandre
