@alteaopcry Righto! And thanks a million!

@alteaopcry Thanks for sharing!
And yes I forgot to mention that any other browser works all right--only Opera doesn't on Amazon.

Hello forum.
Since yesterday, my French Opera (Version :66.0.3515.44) isn't able to show Amazon pages (either .fr or .co.uk or .com) anymore: pages have no pictures and texts are all mixed up and mostly superimposed.
As far as I can tell this only happens on any Amazon website.
Can anything be done about this, please?
Thanks in advance.

DID work! :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_cold_sweat:

Now Opera is ALL on D : AND my default browser!

I am keeping track of this thread like for ever!

I am VERY grateful you bothered to care not let me down on this. I owe you, burnout426!
There's not much I'm good at, but just ask, in case . . . For instance I'm helping you with your next French essay (if you still have those) . . .

...didn't work. I did it all, and when I went ENTER the command line returned no error code, but when I checked Opera still was not among the listed browser from which to choose the default browser.
Opera still works fine from D :, but I can't make it my default browser.
I guess I'll have to go back to installing on C: . . .

@leocg Okay, so "C: or wherever %appdata% is located" is not concerned anymore I guess?

Still I can't make Opera my default browser. burnout426 tried to explain, but unfortunately I don't get all of it . . .

Even if you install Opera on a different drive, the data folders (profile and cache) will be in C: or wherever %appdata% is located.

It seems I managed otherwise:
Installation : D:_Programmes persos\Opera Portable
Profil : D:_Programmes persos\Opera Portable\profile\data
Cache : D:_Programmes persos\Opera Portable\profile\data
unless I'm mistaken of course.

Hello, burnout426.
Thanks for your help. Before I get to it, may I ask:

1. do you mean I have to first download a stable x64 Opera and then use the command line?
2. in the said command line, I suppose F : must be replaced by another drive letter, but which one should that be? The one where my portable Opera is (i.e. D :)?
3. why should I THEN download a stable version, when what I was trying to do is install all of Opera's files and directories on D : (therefore the portable version)? As far as I can remember the installation of a stable version doesn't allow you to change the destination directory (or does it?). What do you mean by "for good measure"?
   Kindly bear with me . . .

Now I have this problem: Opera no longer is my default browser. Of course I associated .html files with Opera, but it is not listed in the default applications list (because of the portable version I suppose?) when I click "Choose a default application".
All the help I could find on the internet obviously refers to older versions (there is no "Options" menu anymore).
Can you please show me how to have my portable Opera (installed on D as my favorite browser?
Thanks in advance (again).

I did it, and I guess it worked.
There were a few discrepencies between the two directories though:
C : version:
Profil : C:\Users\ALAIN\AppData\Roaming\Opera Software\Opera Stable
Cache : C:\Users\ALAIN\AppData\Local\Opera Software\Opera Stable
portable, D : version:
Profil : D:_Programmes persos\Opera Portable\profile\data
Cache : D:_Programmes persos\Opera Portable\profile\data

Though that was checked, the portable version did not import the favorites from the C : vcersion

C : had a Certificate Revocation Info directory when D : had a CertificateRevocation directory, and C : had a Media Cache directory which wasn't in the D : directory

Anyway now I guess I'll just unsinstall the C : version (which is the only one listed in the Configuration Panel).
I am very glad you bothered to help me along on this. I'd think there should be some thread somewhere (unless there's one already?) explaining how to move your current Opera to another drive, the way you kindly explained for me just hereabove.

Thanks again!

@leocg Thanks again! I'll try it all and sure let you know. . .

Thank you.
I just downloaded, but before I go further do you think there is any chance I could keep my cache and favorites which they are on C : right now and then copy them to the new directories once the portable Opera is on D : -- and in case I can, can you please tell me where the cache and favorites directories actually are on C :?
If not, do you think Windows 10 can run two versions of Opera, one on C : and one on D :? I mean, that would buy me some time allowing me to reconstruct my favorites by opening the pages on the D : version and saving them there (tedious as it seems, it may be faster than importing the old Favorites if they come all mixed up).
Thanks in advance!

[Sorry I didn't read your answer before, that's because I failed to set my profile so as to be informed when someone takes part in the topic.]
I don't think it did a portable installation. I've installed Opera before and I always follow the standard procedure.
Here is what I get from About Opera:

Installation : D:_Programmes persos\Opera
Profil : C:\Users\ALAIN\AppData\Roaming\Opera Software\Opera Stable
Cache : C:\Users\ALAIN\AppData\Local\Opera Software\Opera Stable

Does this point to a portable installation?

@leocg So my Opera cache is still on the SSD C :? And there is absolutely no way I can manage to have Opera--the whole of it--on some D : hard drive?

@sgunhouse Thank you!

@sgunhouse I guess I didn't make myself clear about the smileys list. The problem is that once I have called the pop-up box full of smileys by clicking the icon above this field where I am writing, and after I have chose one, such as this: , I then want to close the whole thing but I can't because When I click the " x " on the right of the menu bar, then it is "Objet" that gets selected, so the window won't shut. To do that, I need to wait until my message is complete and I click "Submit".
As for closing this topic or not, well this is your place, I have nothing to say in that matter.
So anyway thanks again for the very efficient help!

@genug I worked! :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_smiling_eyes:

Now Opera is on D : () and I lost nothing with the new installation.
Maybe this should be mentioned in some FAQ, because from what I had found on the internet before I came here this is nowhere to be found: "If you want to change the installation place of Opera just reinstall a new version and then delete the former one".
Something like that, I mean.

I guess I'll be back on the Help feature, because it never is up-to-date as far as i have experienced up to now.

And then again there is this problem with the Smileys pop-up window which won't shut down when I click the x since it just selects "Objects" so it won't go until I go "Submit".

@sgunhouse I do see those two indeed! The interface doesn't show the two paths but of course the installation date will do plenty.
So I'll go "uninstall" and come back and let you know you can close this topic-hopefully!

@genug Sorry! A few things happened hereabove, such as misspellings and an alien smiley, that I hadn't intended to. . .

Now this is a bit weird! I downloaded the install file and executed it so that this new Opera version would go to D:, because I was planning to try and overwrite whatever new cache I'd find with the C: version. And now I see that I now have two Operas cohabitating, one on C: and one on D:, and the latter just recognised and self-imported my favorites and history and things, which is great (weird bue great). Then again, when I launch the newer Opera, it keeps asking if I want it to be my default browser . . .
What should I do to keep the version an delete the C: version without having the system to crash (or worse!) please?
