Many thanks to your advice, thehyecircus!

After month of not being able to fix this and using all the time Chrome to download anything, today I found your solution, went into the the app permissions, turned on "Storage" and downloads are working finally like a charm from within Opera.

You made my day!
Thanks again!

@kaki87 You can remove them, by following the below steps:

1. Open opera:about, copy the path to the profile (Paths > Profile), and make a note of the path to the installation root (Paths > Install), close the browser,
2. Open your file explorer, and navigate to the installationroot\operaversion\resources subfolder (eg. installationroot\36.0.2130.46\resources), rename the default_partner_content.json to eg. default_partner-old, and overwrite the default_partner_content.json with ab_tests.json,
3. Navigate to the profile folder, and delete the default_partner_content.json, relaunch the browser.
   In case, that the above desn't work with the ab_tests.json from your installation, you can use this one, enjoy!

Kaki87: Thank you so much!!!
Since the update to Opera 31 I'm trying to get rid of the deafult search engines and it was impossible.

Great!!!
Thank you so much!!!

Hi there!

I updated my Opera Developer yesterday to ver.34.0.2011.0 and now there is this ugly "Recommended" thing every time I just click in the adress bar.

How can we get rid of this, please???

Thanks in advance!

Just found the post of l33t4opera (https://forums.opera.com/topic/11929/new-opera-developer-34):

Address bar recommendations:

Hi there!

I'm running a Wordpress based website and installed yesterday a new plugin.

Unfortunately, I have some unexpected behaviour among different browsers:
If I'm using my standard browser Opera Developer (ver. 32.0) and want to use the Mail - Share - Icon a new window pops up and redirects me to a mail programme installed on my system, which I'm actually not using at all.

This is especially very weird, because other mail - links, which have also the structure and which I open within Opera Developer are redirected via an extension to my Gmail account, from where I usually send all my mails.

If I try the Mail - Share - Icon in Chrome (ver. 44.0.2403.89 (64-bit)), in Firefox (ver. 39.0) and in my old Opera (ver. 12.16; build 1860) everything works as wanted: A new window pops up and redirects me to my Gmail account. Also on my Android I can chose, that I want to send the mail via the Gmail App.

→ So, do you have any idea, why there are some troubles with Opera Developer?!

Then there is a second unexpected behaviour concerning a print icon:
When I want to use the print - icon in Opera Developer, in Chrome and on my Android a new blank window pops up and nothing else happens. In Firefox, there also pops up a new blank window followed by the print settings. So I can choose the printer and the pages to print etc.

→ So, would you have any idea, why there are difficulties with the print - icon in Opera Developer?!

Thanks in advance about a timely response!

Hi there!

I'm using the Opera developer on Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS (x86_64; KDE).
I just updated to version 32.0.1926.0.

Since this update Opera crashes all the time, when I want to use something using one of my own defined search shortcodes.

Does anyone else have this bug, too?!

Thank you in advance for your answers!

Hi there!

Although I'm using the sync service, I don't have the new "Sync your passwords".
My sync options in the right corner still look like this: http://cdn.techdows.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/Bookmark-syncing-requires-an-Opera-account.png .

I'm using version 32.0.1910.0 on Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS (x86_64; KDE).

Thank you in advance for any suggestions!

I realized today thisproblem still exists!

I also would like to know how we can delete the default search engines.
If you don't use Yahoo, Bing, DuckDuckGo etc. it is very annoying, because I am using the letter "y" for Youtube, "d" for a German dictionary and z for another dictionary.

Please fix this - so we can get rid of the default search engines!
A good and user friendly browser should be the most customizable!

Hi there!

My Opera was auto-updated today to version 29.0.1795.0.

I am wondering why do they changed the start page again to the other start page, we had already once in December 2014 (cf. https://forums.opera.com/post/62091)?!

I could get back the start page, I was used to, by disable "Experimental start page" in opera://flags/.

But I don't understand why developers are switching all the time the settings of this poor start page...

Kind regards,
Chipy

Hey there!

Solved it with another User-Agent Switcher.
The one I found is "User-Agent Switcher for Chrome" (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/user-agent-switcher-for-c/djflhoibgkdhkhhcedjiklpkjnoahfmg).

There you can define different agents for different pages...

Good luck!
