Hello,
Just a quick update about my favicon image issue, I'm currently using my lenovo thinkpad laptop to type this response, I installed the most recent stable version currently available on it. I'm thinking that the problem I was having with the favicon images might have been a combination of issues but at least on my laptop everything seems okay now and I'm able to enjoy using the opera browser as it's supposed to be. Thanks again for those of you that took the time to help me, browsers are meant to be used and enjoyed by their user's.
