Same crap here...about to leave Opera for FireFox if they insist on forcing a specific version. As soon as I install version 20, it launches before I can delete the auto=update files, and then updates to whatever is new.

All the new version suck IMO. 12 and 20 were awesome...

Opera 29 is no good. Opera 20 was great, Opera 12 was awesome.

I can't even get an old version installed, without the installer auto-launching, and then auto-updating.

If I can't use the version I want, I'll go back to FireFox and IE. The fact the users get zero notification that an update is available is what bothers me. Let us choose if we want the new version or not.

I had Opera V20 on a laptop. It ran awesome, never any issues, and never updated. All of a sudden, my Opera crashes and when I reopen it it somehow updated to V29. I do not want V29. I like V20.

Ok, so I find and download the V20 installer from Opera. But as soon as I run the installer, it just suto-updates back to V29!!

How can I install V20 without the auto-update hitting right away? I know I can delete the files it uses to update, but I can't do that fast enough before it is already launching and updating. I even tried pulling the network connection, and then the window just froze.

Is there a way to remove the auto-update EXEs before it gets installed? I have V20 at home as well, and I'm afraid I'll have the same issue later.

This is what is making rethink FireFox again...
