WHY??? Was there something wrong with the way it was???? This is not an acceptable change. Not at all. You know.... "if it ain't broke, don't fix it". Seriously, this is crazy having to do an extra step to see your favorites list. Sorry for the rant but dang it, this is just plain wrong.

I am trying to set up a Chrome browser to match my Opera browser. I have the Chrome browser set up with the FVD Speed Dial and I want to copy or import my Opera speed dials to Chrome which is using the FVD add on. Is there any way to do this?

@leocg Well thanks to burnout426 posting the link to the update page, I finally found the X which was on the opposite side of the page. Being that I was removing the icons one at a time, I never saw the X on the right side of the page. I'm glad this is resolved. Thanks for the help.

@violetphoenix Thanks for the tip. But I have decided that it is what it is and I can't change it so I will learn to live with it. But I still think it was an unnecessary change.

I installed FVD Speed Dial and I cannot find a way to make it the default browser window. I have Opera as default but when I start the browser I get the the normal Opera browser and not the FVD Speed Dial browser. Also, I would like to know how to use the animated backgrounds in the FVD Speed Dial browser as well. Can either or both on these options be activated? Thanks.

Thanks again. I couldn't see the forest for the trees. I finally figured out that I needed to do a restore down to the browser to see the desktop so I could drop that icon on it. I'm just used to doing a right click to add a shortcut to the desktop as I did in IE11.

@burnout426

Thank you very much for that information! I hope that it will speed up the process of setting up Chrome. I am having to use Chrome to view many of the demonstration videos I encounter on a lot of websites like Amazon. So many of them will not play in Opera. But I still prefer Opera to let you know.

Thanks for the information and your time gathering those links. Yes, I can play a lot of files on line such as files on the SoundCloud website but I want to listen to some mp3 files in a forum I hang around in but I always have to download those, listen to them and then I have to go to my download folder and delete them. That might sound like a trivial thing to most but if I find a lot of mp3 files I want to listen to then it gets to be a hassle.

Yes, the override option would be very nice for those files. Hopefully, someone is watching this thread that can make that happen... and soon.

@burnout426,

Thanks anyway. I guess it is going to take a while to create the FVD speed dials one at at time by copy and paste. But, time I have as I am retired.
Thanks again for all of your help and Happy Holidays!

So, I came here looking for a solution to this and I found the "Solved" thread on this which did not tell me anything other than the OP had figured out a solution on their own which was not shared. So here I am asking the same question. How do I stop the unwanted "Continue Shopping" speed dials that occur every time I visit Amazon.com? Thank you.

@leocg How then can I transfer all of my speed dials from one PC to another?

I have signed in to synchronization on my laptop and my desktop PC. As I have just reinstalled Opera on the desktop PC after upgrading to Windows 10, I wanted to sync it with my laptop but so far all I got synced was the bookmarks and not the speed dials. How do I sync the speed dials as well?

@leocg Yes, I did find it and switch it on. Thank you.

@leocg, Just letting you know that I found the switch for the search bar. Thank you again for your help. You can mark this thread as solved now.

@leocg, Thank you for your time, expertise and most of all patience. I have it all straightened out now. Is there a way to put the Google search bar back above the speed dials? I can't seem to find that option. Thanks!

@leocg said in Where did all of my speed dials go???:

@graywoulf That was what I answered, how to get them back to Speed Dial.

I am obviously missing something here. I have tried using the keyboard shortcuts to select them all then copy them all but I cannot find a way to put them all back to the main browser page. You obviously know these methods well but I am not having any luck with them so far.

What I am asking is how to get them all back to this view. from there if it is possible or do I have to visit each website and save it as a speed dial to get them back like this. Is there a name for the Opera desktop where these reside?

@leocg said in Where did all of my speed dials go???:

@graywoulf If you put the mouse over the entry, you will se a icon at the top left that looks like a check mark. Clicking on it will select the entry. If you are going to select all of them, you should be able to use Ctrl A.

OK, thanks for clearing that up. So, if I select all of them as you previously instructed how to do, then how do I send them on the main screen as they were originally?

Are we talking about the same list here? Here is a picture with the cursor over a speed dial entry. I do not see a check mark. The folder labeled "Laptop" is where all of the missing speed dial entries should be. The folder labeled "Rick PC" is from my old laptop. I would like to recover the missing ones if possible but if not, I would like to put the old ones back on the browser as they were.

@leocg said in Where did all of my speed dials go???:

@graywoulf Select the entries and drag them to the Speed Dial folder. You can also use Ctrl C, Ctrl V.

If I select the entry, it takes me to that website. there is no pop up window that will allow me to copy the entry.
