No, because that is an extremely important part of how I want to use Opera/browsers.

Session Buddy will save your tabs. So the workaround goes like this...

• Have "Download Chrome Extension" and "Session Buddy" plugins installed.
• Have Opera running.

1. Go to Session Buddy, and save your session.
2. Close Opera.
3. Delete the following files, manually (Win7):

• C:\Users\YOURUSER\AppData\Roaming\Opera Software\Opera Stable\session.db
• C:\Users\YOURUSER\AppData\Roaming\Opera Software\Opera Stable\session.dbak
• C:\Users\YOURUSER\AppData\Roaming\Opera Software\Opera Stable\session.db-journal

4. Reopen Opera. All tabs will be gone.
5. Go to Session Buddy, and restore your saved session. It will restore all tabs, including pinned tabs.
6. Use Opera for a few days, until it gets slow. Go back to Step 1.

Neither... Every several days I delete the session.db, using the "Download Chrome Extension" and "Session Buddy" plugins (mentioned above) to restore my tabs. That buys me several more days of smooth sailing.

Hopefully the devs take my bug report seriously, and fix this thing. It's blatantly reproducible, on a couple different machines I use. I've been using Opera since the beginning, and I really don't want to have to switch.

Yes, I did. The black hole that is...

I do leave Opera running, but I do also periodically close it. So it's not a biproduct strictly of running for an extended period, since closing it doesn't reset the problem. It could be a product of total uptime though.

I'll submit a bug report. Thanks for the link.

So we're on Day 3 now, after blowing away the session.db, and it's basically back to full slowness. 5-10 second long frozen pauses, in between brief periods of functionality. It makes it very hard to type this paragraph

I don't understand... if I can now reproduce this happening by just leaving the browser open for 3 days, how has the development team not discovered it? Is there a way I can forward it to them as a bug, or get in contact with them, so that I could send them a copy of the session.db's it creates for analysis?

After a few days, my session.db is now up to about 120MB, and Opera is starting to get frequent momentary pauses. For example, while typing this, the text will stop for 2-4 seconds (~1 word), about every 10-15 seconds (~5 words).

It's obviously some kind of bug. I hope somebody sees this and takes a look into the problem.

I'm currently using 26 Stable too. But it's been going on for several versions... it just wasn't until recently that I figured out what does it.

(I'm the same Guido as the OP. This account was having trouble before.)

Ok, and to add more confusion, I am now posting from my old account. I managed to resave the form my the crappy mobile Android browser on my phone, and now I can post again. I never did get another verification email though...

I can use the profile form's save button again, but only in IE. It still doesn't work in Opera (ironically), though the form's username and email fields are now populated appropriately in all browsers (no "NO" symbol).

Thanks

I know they said Opera Link was added to Windows in v20, but I can't find where to enable it and log in.

• I see the Opera Menu > More Tools > Synchronize... option, but after logging in there it just lets me see my old synced bookmarks, and doesn't sync anything now.
• I check through settings, including Advanced Settings, and didn't see anything there.

Anybody know where to enable it? Thanks!
