I have mailto set to mail.google.com, but clicking on email addresses on websites does not take me to gmail and a new email; actually sometimes nothing has happened, and today a new tab is opening. I have the most recent version of Opera, 58.0.3135.68. Anyone have any suggestions?

Likewise, then, the installer is not finding what it expects and is installing a new shortcut on your desktop, I suppose. This does not sound like a bug, but they could do what many programs do and ask if you want a shortcut on the desktop.

Using 58.0.3135.107. A particular website CBC.ca appears and then disappears after 2 or 3 seconds. This has started today. It is not happening with Firefox or Chrome. Any suggestions? I have no new extensions added or enabled that weren't in place before this.

I think it is the ad block built in to Opera - when I turn it off for cbc.ca then things remain, with it on the page goes blank today. So maybe Opera would look into this and see if the ad block is a wee bit too powerful here.

At times, I want to bookmark something for my wife to see on her machine (since Opera is synchronized between our machines) so I simply add it to the Bookmarks Bar. In Opera, the new bookmark goes on the left side of the Bookmarks Bar shoving over the current entries to the right. Could it be placed on the far right side instead, as in Chrome, so as not to disturb the existing arrangement?

@temkem It is doing the same for me. I suspect, but do not know, that this is due to the installer checking for a shortcut with the name "Opera Browser", but as I have renamed my shortcut simply "Opera" the installer cannot find what it is looking for and so puts a new shortcut on my desktop. Have you also renamed your Opera shortcut?

Seems to me I had this problem too some months ago and found somewhere on the forum a solution that allowed one to have an x added to these lists so one could delete by clicking the x. The problem has returned after some updates but I cannot find the solution again; I believe that it involved setting some experimental flag but I could not see that in about:flags. Does anyone else recall such a thing?

I opened Opera and the Speed Dial and saw a big icon for Booking,com in the middle. I did not add it and I have Opera set not to make suggestions; in any case I haven't looked at Booking.com for months. So how did it get there? Is Opera using the Speed dial as an advertising platform? Are we likely to see a variety of unauthorized and unwanted entries showing up?

thanks

if you put the mouse into the address bar preparatory to typing a search term, a box drops down with some choices, mainly the Google search bar. Is there a way to stop this dropdown if you don't like it?

Coincidently, just before seeing this post, I refreshed my YouTube tab and saw an ad that got past the adblock. When I refreshed again, it was blocked. I have refreshed a few times again and each time I see the ad for a second before it is blocked and disappears. Am using 60.0.3255.27

An alternative is to add a character to the end of the bookmark name, perhaps the |, which I use. This will then be a divider. I either use no name for bookmarks, in which case only the icon shows on the bookmarks bar, or the |, in which case the icon and the | show. This makes the | a divider wherever I want one.

For the last two days since I downloaded the beta version Gmail gets mostly loaded and then sits there doing nothing; I have to clear cookies for google.com using the EditThisCookie extension after which I can sign in to Gmail again and get my mail. There is no problem using Chrome or Firefox or Opera stable version as far as I can tell.

Yes, I have Chrome Extensions installed. Actually I have the https://everywhere extension installed in Opera Stable version, so I tried to install it in the beta, but no go so far.
