No files on that machine, of course, it's just a "bridge". The fact is, this is a weakness of Opera which Firefox and Chrome recognised and fixed. Thanks again for your help. Over and out....

Yes, it is necessary for some people to use the machine in my Office (this one) sometimes for reasons of practicality. But thanks again for the info, I will be sure only to use Opera on my own personal machine that only I have access to and Firefox/Chrome on machines where access by others is required.

@sdobrov

I think this answers your question also?

Thanks for the help. That is disappointing though because it CAN be done in both Firefox AND Chrome. The issue being I don't necessarily want other who have access to some of my network machines having access to my search History. I guess the only solution is to keep closing Opera (set to delete history on shutdown) or deleting history and put up with an empty popup box.

Already done that (Prediction service) and I still get the popup making a search in the Address bar suggesting sites from search history. I unchecked also the "Enable the search popup when selecting text" box because that was suggested in a different post in this same forum. Any other ideas? As I said, the popup is not suggesting searches as such but simply displaying previous searches from history when the same letter of the new entry. So, if I delete all history, all I get is an empty popup box, which is still annoying.

I have exactly the same annoyance. I have also unchecked the box "Enable the search popup when selecting text under Settings>Browser>User Interface but that also doesn't stop it. The only way to prevent it seems to be to constantly delete search history but even then an empty box still pops up.

Surely there must be a way of preventing this annoying and potentially security-challenging feature?
