I found the answer for my problem in the help session of mozila firefox. It does involve going to Default Programs but I had to manualy set firefox as default for every protocol and file extension that had Opera as default. Everything works fine now. I'm keeping Opera and I'll still use it. I think it's very cool. And I hope the next releases are even better and and with less issues like the one I had. Thanks for all your support.
Thanks for the answer.
The problem is exactly as I said. I'm here, using this computer, you're there, so we can assume I'd know if Opera was asking me to set itself as default or not. It is not. It never asks for default. And it is always default. That's something we have to agree before continuing any further. Everytime I open firefox or chrome they prompt me saying they are not default and if I'd like to make them default. Opera never does that. And everytime I click a link to open a webpage, it's opera that runs.
Sorry for having to repeat myself, but maybe I wasn't clear enough the first time.
Back to the possible solutions, maybe it's a bug of this version I have? This is my installer's name: Opera_16.0.1196.73_Setup.exe
Is this beta or something? I use Windows 7 Ultimate 64, my processor is a core i7 4770
I have nothing against opera so far. Seems like a cool browser. But a few webpages I need to access don't work with it, so I'd like my default browser to be mozila firefox for those click-here-to-open-browser links inside programs.
That's a bit agresive. I want to use opera when I feel like using it, not whenever a program needs to open a webpage, specially because many webpages simply say this when opened with Opera: "We're sorry but to access this page you must use mozila firefox versioIn "something" or Google Chrome version "whatever" and even Internet Explorer versio 7". I'd simply like to buy ingame currency for an online game a play but I can't because Opera won't stop making itself my default browser without being asked and the billing webpage won't accept it. I would very much like to continue to use this browser if you remove this "feature". Otherwise I'll uninstall... I have all the other 3 anyway.
