I forgot to mention that I'm running XPsp3, but I couldn't figure out how to edit my basenote, if there is a way to edit it.

I have one instance of Opera 36.0 open, with one page open apart from this one (truth-out.org front page). Yet I have 5 Opera processes (plus the crash reporter), and of the top 10 memory consumers they are 1, 2, 4, 5, and 7.

What's going on?
