Today Opera (W11 x64) suddenly started crashing on random pages which normally load fine. (e.g. facebook.com; virustotal.com) I get the 'reload this page' msg.
Opera is up-to-date, issue still occurs when extensions etc are disabled; cache etc cleared.
Nothing new installed on the PC.
Have not tried a full re-install yet....
Anyone else seeing this?
13-12-22 Update breaks the plugin:
"This extension may have been corrupted"
It will not repair or reinstall.....

It is just moving the links from the root of one folder to another. The root Speed dial folders should both contain a sub-folder of the same name eg Desktop-win10sux
All I did was move my links <ctrl+a> then <ctrl+x> into the identically named Desktop-xxxxxxxxxxxx <ctrl+v>
You may also find drag & drop of the container 'desktop-whatever' between speed dial folders works.
My PWs are intact...
OK answering my own question....
In the Bookmarks management screen there are these folders
I cut & paste these from the new 'other' folder in to the default Speed dial folder & my original set-up is working again.
HTH others 
Same problem!!
Is there a way to import the links as per the regular favorites?
Thanks for replies.
Yes
CTD = crash to desktop
OoM = Out of Memory
Was in a hurry so didn't translate, but...kinda worrying that a tech forum doesn't know tech acronyms 
Do Opera staff never read these posts?
Opera will CTD randomly, sometimes restarting sometimes not; I get 'Page Crashed' msg; I get 'Out of Memory' msg. (ie operas own preformatted error tabs with option to try reloading.)
Having less than 20% of RAM in use (16gb total) I find it hard to understand why I'd get an OoM error. I don't think changing the RAM heap via the registry would help but I've not tried it....
I'm inclined to suspect that W10 has patched something that has broken Opera memory management but I'm guessing.
v.56.0.3051.104 Windows 10 64-bit
for the last month or so I have been getting loads of total lock-ups requiring hard reset of PC, CTDs, OoM errors & individual page crashes + looooong load times on sites like Amazon, MSN & Outlook.
This occurs with extensions disabled or enabled; VPN On or Off; Ad-Block on or off.
Latest drivers on the OS (all Nov 18). Nvidia driver versions seem to make a difference but none solve the issues 100%.
Using -disable-gpu in CL has no effect
Hardware is 100%, RAM etc all pass stress testing.
Visiting same sites on Win7 x64 with same Opera version is error-free.
Anyone have a solution for this?
Is it possible to assign a KB shortcut to a browser button? (I imagine this is a 'command')
I just want to script a button that has a KB function e.g. ctrl+shift+(A-Z 0-9)
The examples online suggest that this should be straightforward & I would like to try to write it myself.
Error messages etc assume you know what the commands could/should be, & the examples show the syntax but no list of commands/functions appended?
If I want to write a regex there are lists of commands I can work with easily available online......
Surely there must be a resource with the necessary info for this, anyone know where?
I do not know the codebase in question but using the snippets available I have added a custom button to the browser.
I found this @ chrome -
chrome.commands.onCommand.addListener(function(command) {
console.log('Command:', command);
});
&
"commands": {
"toggle-feature-foo": {
"suggested_key": {
"default": "Ctrl+Shift+5"
},
"description": "Toggle feature foo",
"global": true
}
},
Cannot see how to hook my variation of it up to the button though...
Ultimately it would be nice to create an extension for a button that an end-user could assign KB shortcuts to as req'd. Perhaps this already exists in some form?
Also I want to say thanks to Opera for the sidebar & to the independent authors of the extensions which make the current Opera version 'as useful' as Opera 12.xx, which I have now been forced to retire. No adequate bookmark management, notes tools etc had made the new Opera a Flopera as far as I was concerned, but now I am starting to really enjoy using it.
Strangely enough since I posted this the capchas have gone from Steam & I can get in again.....
That doesn't help with the others tho. I still have endless fails when trying to TX a response - right or wrong answer they just reload & I can never access the sites
Using v12.17 1863 x64 on W7 I am finding increasing numbers of problem sites when they are using capchas to log in.
Today I can no longer use Opera 12 or 31 to log into Steam.
No matter what I type it always fails authentication.
Using Opera 31.0.1889.174 it takes approx 60 secs of a timer cycling before it shows 'incorrect login'
Whilst this is obviously Steams 'fault' for not testing all browsers adequately, other sites take 3+ tries before what I enter is seen as the correct answer/selection.
This is a ridiculous situation. Surely there must be a solution?
Decided to try again with the Bookmarks in Opera 20+.
I'm still using v12 as it is the only thing that does what I want it to with bookmarks.
Very disappointing to find that the import method takes no account of sorting or subfolders & all must be arranged manually.
Is a sort feature & the ability to differentiate between folders & isolated URLs likely?
Can I set defaults for display globally i.e. I don't want huge buttons everywhere.
Why the extra clicks to access bookmarks? Is a sidebar that much of a problem?
Generally if these things aren't resolved then when v12 is useless Opera will be ditched. Shame to be at this juncture as it has been a solid productivity-friendly browser for a long time for me.
& OT On problems with privacy (Chrome 'owns' everything it does for data-mining purposes) is the Opera EULA different on this as it's based on the same codebase?
Same for me.
It has imported some v12 passwords but not all. Initially I thought it was OK but was soon irritated by the appearance of PW data in only some dialogs. I never had any master password etc to lock encryption settings.
& a bit OT
Seems the devs aren't all that serious about keeping existing users of good old Opera 12. Sadly a lot of code is now not working 100% on that version which is forcing a browser change.
I wish the bookmark import plugin alphabetized the bookmarks, (be nice if that gets addressed by the author as the extension is a badly needed bit of code.) BUT why wasn't that obvious migration need fully looked at & tested by the devs?
I can see why they want to move on but why shaft loyal users with half-baked migration possibilities?
Beginning of the end?
In this case 'supported' meant - doesn't work
Opera 18 isn't 100% either.
But I find to my disgust that Chrome works perfectly with FB. (The data-miners stick together). :down: Really didn't want to have to install that product. I think I can live with ditching both however.
I guess a cut-off for development on opera 12 will ensure that users migrate or leave, as the global website code-base isn't going to stop evolving.
I'm having problems with several pages - Facebook & depositfiles especially
takes forever to do anything; pages may not load correctly; uploading stuff like pics to FB is impossible.
Java script is active, Java is 7-45 & says it's all working correctly. Tried the security 'fix' above & no difference.
Guessing this started about a fortnight ago, & it's driving me crazy.
Seems like the best idea the help desk has is to install Chrome.... yeah thanks for that ...:yuck:
It might not be Operas' fault but something is definitely up!
