onthehunt: just do a reset, you do not lose the bookmarks or passwords.

alobpreis, uninstalling and installing did not help, the reset did the trick. But the trick was to find a way to reset.

Here again the guide "For those searching go to: C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Opera Software\Opera Stable and delete "Preferences" file, most of the guides out there are for older version of Opera. This resets opera, but keeps passwords, keeps bookmarks."

it is all good, working perfectly.

thanks

alobpreis, I run all kind of spyware, malware removal tools, nothing, still hijacks from time to time clicks, and off course that damn bar, which I cannot find nowhere that is installed.

Anyway, I had to reset it, well that was not easy to find, lots of guides for chrome, IE, or Firefox, nothing for OPERA 39.

sgunhouse: yes, I have extensions what I meant some suspicious.

So no clue how comes that bar, it hijacks the search, and even typing into google search goes into that search bar, which makes very frustrating.

I think with reset I am done. To be safe I reset chrome, IE, and Firefox.

thx guys

it was with Safesurfs.net the start page hijacked.

Hello guys

I tried troubleshooting for hrs, just can't find the answer.
1st is was the homepage hijacked, after searching and searching, I found out that it was at Opera properties - launching target was added an website. see pic:

now I get a toolbar, which replaces whatever I type into search, I can click and close it at X, but next start of opera comes again.
see pic:

I ran malware bytes, adware, no help.
there are no extentions
there are no plugins

So this is a little bit beyond my level. I re-installed Opera, not help. I don't know how to reset (w/o losing pass, bookmarks etc)
Any help?

Any help?

I cannot find any other that opens inside a page other than those from library which are with pass. If anyone knows any please let us know so we can test.

Thanks leocg for your support.

well those two are from University library: http://web.a.ebscohost.com.ezp.waldenulibrary.org/ehost/pdfviewer/pdfviewer?sid=5482beff-66fd-4afb-a9fc-7834116cd79e%40sessionmgr4001&vid=1&hid=4212

not sure if you have access.

however, I just tried to find a public pdf: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/passport/forms/pdf/PPTC054.pdf

here I can do the search.
So I am thinking maybe the library is blocking the search?
Same happens in Chrome, but if I use Kami extension then I can search inside pdf. I have to go thru hundreds and hundreds of pdf, and it is pain to download, search, and discard, if I can search inside O38 would make my life easier.

thanks, I posted two pictures

see a screenshot here: https://postimg.org/image/iu3695exd/

Options when I right click are: https://postimg.org/image/l6k6c72mp/

I have Chrome PDF Viewer installed, checked at about:plugins, cause when I disable Pdf Viewer, pdf files are downloaded.
once I enable Chrome PDF Viewer, pdf files are opened in O38, but search not working.

Hi, I am new to Opera 38 and I need some help.
I got this strange problem O38 does not search the pdf, I can do ctrl+F, but with that it searches around the pdf file i.e headings of the website, or any other content but not the word inside the pdf file.

see a screenshot here: https://postimg.org/image/iu3695exd/

Options when I right click are: https://postimg.org/image/l6k6c72mp/

so in right click there is not option to search inside the pdf.
what I am doing wrong?

I have another problem related to pdf search, in my example O38 does not search the pdf at all, but it searches heading in the html
