Great stuff. I'm on Windows 10 Pro 64. I found the file here: C:\Program Files (x86)\Opera. The previous build being 42.0.2393.517 I may try this later with the version number substitution in the xml file. Will make a copy of the folders just in case.

After trying my patience I downloaded Chrome (!) after swearing it off years ago. It installed and worked beautifully, but I missed mouse gestures terribly. At some point I opened Opera and suddenly it was "looking" correct in every way. Beats me. But I'm going to leave it for now because the problem is solved for the time being.

Thanks so much for ur suggestions.

Dig the Miles pic. Since update became automatic a long time ago, I have no idea how to revert to a previous build and didn't know there was a stand alone installer. Will look into it. But really, I think the developers messed something up on this release and need to fix it.

I have
Version: 43.0.2442.806 (PGO) - Opera is up to date
Update stream: Stable
System: Windows 10 64-bit (WoW64)

Since this update bookmarks and Speed Dial have been erratic. Half the time they come up as a truncated version with lots of empty border space making them a real pia compared to what I'm used to. A few clicks of maximize/restore sometimes fixes it. Or I have to close/reopen the browser.

In fact I had acrobat viewer enabled, as I always have. However switching to Chrome Viewer did the trick. I guess that's what the newest Opera supports.

recently, when I click a link to a pdf, it downloads but is not viewable in the browser. No problem viewing pdf's on the computer, just online via the browser. Opera Version: 36.0.2130.46 Thanks

ver 34.0.2036.25
I turned off a couple of plugins that I didn't recognize. One was called "Photo Gallery" That seems to have fixed it.

for instance. I go to newegg and open an item's page. If I click on the photos to open the photo window so I can enlarge photos, it says couldn't load plug-in. I cannot open any of the photos. Or I was just at dell business and tried to look at the XPS 8900; where I guess photos should be it says couldn't load plug-in. I checked all my plug-ins in settings and they're all enabled.

I'm suddenly getting this on alot of sites. "couldn't load plug-in" I don't know what plug-in it refers to. I cleared all my cache and then had to re-sign in to a dozen different places. What a pain. Didn't help at all. I guess the new build is the problem?

no, not the bookmarks bar at all. What happened (I now have it back to normal) was the "sidebar" on the bookmarks tab disappeared. That is where all the hierarchy of the bookmark folders is visible. It's back because I set it in opera/extensions/sidebar. How it suddenly got turned off is a mystery and caused me hours of wasted time.

My Folders which includes upwards of a thousand bookmarks in various folders has suddenly disappeared from the bookmark tab. All I see is a handful of unsorted bookmarks. I can still find them by clicking opera/bookmarks/my folders/xxx but this slows me down to a point where it's unuseable. How do I get the 'my folders' view back in the bookmark tab?
