@XaunLoc Unless something is really wrong in your installation, the "ad" opens in a separate tab, in both Firefox and Opera. So if you switched into Opera by clicking a link outside of Opera, your chosen page is still loading in its own tab. You're not losing any time except the trivial time it takes to close the superfluous tab. (Command-W and/or Alt-F4 ought to be second nature.)

I'm not saying you're wrong to bring this up as a minor annoyance, but it seems like an awfully trivial hill to choose to die on.

(For the record, I like to know when an app has updated behind my back. It gives me suspect #1 if anything doesn't work the way it used to.)

Replying to myself: Never mind, I found that the almost-invisible X in the corner of the popover gives me the option to not show it again. Please stop following the trend of hiding controls and options until hover or click!

Can I turn off Easy Files? I can't find any settings with which to do this, and it's honestly more of a pain for me than a help. The vast majority of the time, if I need to upload a file to a web site, it has nothing whatsoever to do with anything I've recently downloaded. Having this popover come up every time I click an upload link is annoying AF.

I've been getting a large number of failed page loads lately with the "out of memory" error message—which really doesn't make much sense on modern Mac OS X anyway, since memory is dynamically allocated as needed, so clearly the failure this error message is triggered by comes from something other than merely running out of memory. Today, this error extended to loading the Speed Dial page chrome://startpage/. I checked for an update and found one (which had its own issue—it wouldn't update properly by its own process, so I had to manually download and install the update), but that has not resolved the problem.

The current behavior is that upon launch, when all windows were closed at last quit, Opera tries to load a new window containing a single tab, with Speed Dial loaded in that tab. I instead get the "out of memory" error message. Clicking "Reload" or the Speed Dial toolbar button produce nothing, not even an attempted reload. Clicking a bookmark from the bar correctly loads the bookmarked page. Opening a new tab results in an "Untitled" tab instead of the expected Speed Dial.

Any ideas?

Today I was trying to find out if anyone else had reported an issue I had, and the forum search function is completely failing me. If I enter a multi-word query, such as "out of memory", all I get is the forum overview page. This happens whether my query is in quotes or not. Single-word queries correctly return a search results page. Even searching on a single nonsense word like "burblicious" returns a "no results" page. But any multi-word search string just reloads the overview page.
