My desktop version of Opera updated today and has competely lost the menu bar and icons at the top of the page. I've tried reinstalling but the reinstaller fails. Anyone else experiencing this?.
HNow do I revert to the previous working version. I can't tell you which version this is but the update happened today (18th March 2024)

Every time I start up Opera I get a message box pop up asking me to sign into a proxy server to allow Opera AutoUpdate to run. And when I press the cancel button I get about three minutes before the message box pops up again etc etc etc. I've read through the forum trying to apply the settings that have been recommended in various similar sounding requests but none have worked for me. Updating the launcher shortcut to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Opera\launcher.exe" --check-for-update-interval=0 or --disable-update didn't work for me and the Preferences facility in earlier versions of Opera seems to be absent from Opera 33. Someone in the Opera developer community ought to know where they hid the switch off the f@@king irritating AutoUpdate message box launcher. Please put us out of the misery before we all migrate to Chrome or Mozilla.

Thanks

We don't want to install patches and widgets to open files without having to go through a dialogue to view them. Please reinstate the processing that allowed us to open a file or link by clicking it rather than having to save it to the Downloads folder first. If you do decide to oblige this simple and sensible request please do not remove another useful function to compensate. More is better!
