Same issue, Opera 100.0.4815.30

1. I clicked on the Flow button in the side bar and revealed the QR code
2. Opened Opera on my Android phone --> Flow --> connect device and scanned the code.
3. A Opera page opened on my computer asking witch Opera account to use (showing the one I am already logged in to). I clicked on it.
4. On my phone it showed a pairing code, on my computer there was no code. Instead it showed a Opera account/sync overview page.
5. If I am quick I can see the content that was in the flow on my phone on the computer but clicking on the flow button in the sidebar again shows the same not connected message as in step 1. I am also suddenly logged out from my Opera account in the browser on my computer.

One of Flow's features it you do not need a Opera account to flow things between devices, but it would be fantastic if it worked with an Opera account aswell. If you are logged in to a Opera account you should be able to enable Flow with it and access Flow from all devices you log in with the same Opera account.

Like a button next to the share button, "share with flow" or something.

I do not think it is "flow" to require switching to another browser.

Like the Idea and will try it gets added to Opera for Android

Tested a little more, still happens, but not if Opera is already running in the background. This time it looked like the button was visible a short moment then I started Opera but then disappeared.

The button that hides the bottom bar. Only visible in landscape mode in bottom right corner. Four arrows pointing out in different directions.

Yesterday I noticed that the fullscreen button in Opera was missing and earlier today I figured out it was because I had my phone in landscape mode (laying down). If I turn my phone to portrait mode (standing up) and back again or if I launch Opera in portrait mode and then switch to landscape the fullscreen button appears.

Reproduction: hold your phone in landscape mode and open Opera.

Result: the fullscreen button is not visible.

Expected result: the fullscreen button should appear as if you launched Opera in portrait mode and rotated your phone 90 degrees.

Android version: 7.0
Phone model: HTC 10
Opera version 42.7.2246.114996

Thank you, I found the plugins.

The expected behavior is that Opera asks if I want to save the file and where ("save as") and not start downloading directly. I also expect Opera to not open downloaded files automatically. I looked under plugins and Chromium PDF viewer was still disabled but the first PDF files I downloaded after the update opened in Opera, before I found the setting to open in my default program. Not sure how that works...

So I decided to test a few things. Apparently I can not enable Chromium PDF viewer ("Disabled by company policy" ??, this is my home computer). This looks like it means that it is overridden by the "Open in default"-setting. Changing the setting changes the state in plugins. Testing the different combinations does effect how PDFs are opened but no combination opens the save as window!

Chromium PDF viewer was disabled before, something probably changed in an update. I changed a new setting telling Opera to not use the built in PDF viewer but instead use my default one. It uses my default now, but it still downloads and opens without asking!

As written in the linked topic in my last post, the poster cant find the plugins menu anymore and it is the same for me. Maybe I should ad that my version of Opera is 43.0.2442.806

I have the reversed problem for PDF files.

the current versions of Opera cannot open any files directly, they can only save the files so they can be opened later.

Not true (anymore), yesterday Opera started to open PDF files without even prompting for download!
My current settings is Always ask where to save files and Open PDF files with the standard program for PDF files, but then I clicked on a pdf link today the download started without asking, downloaded the file and opened it automatically.

How can I disable automatic downloading and opening?

Someone on the german sub-forum found this change aswell: http://forums.opera.com/topic/19193/pdf-mal-wieder

I found how to access my desktop speed dials, they was not there I was searching (under bookmarks, like on desktop). I also find a option to delete desktop speed dials, but not edit or add new.

The icon for desktop bookmarks go invisible then you try drag and drop a mobile speed dial on it.

I found a webpage I wanted to bookmark when browsing from my phone. I have a folder for that website on my desktop speed dial but it looked impossible to add something to my desktop speed dial. I could not access my desktop speed dials from my phone at all.

Is this possible and I just missed how to do it? I can access my phones speed dial from my computer.

If it is not possible, is it something that may be implemented? Accessing and modifying desktop speed dial from Opera for Android.

Parts of this may be off topic but it is all about tabs and speed dial:

This way to handle speed dial will be confusing then counting tabs. If you count it, it will look like it is one tab too much. eg. 5 instead of 4.
If you don't count it you will start with zero and then opening more tabs I don't know what will happen.
If you only count it when it is in focus or ... this is wired...

Then I press the house button to go to speed dial I expect the current tab to go to speed dial but instead Opera switch to the speed dial-tab and leaving the old page open in its tab.
Personally I would like to, if you decide to keep speed dial as a static tab, to close the tab then someone press the house button and then focus speed dial. If I want to keep the current tab its logical to open a new one.

What is shown on new tab?
I would like speed dial to show on new tab. On my phone it is a lot of space at the bottom, maybe put the new tab button there. New tab button keeps current tab and goes to speed dial, house close current tab and goes to speed dial?

The current view on speed dial feels more like it would mork better as something that pops up and not as a tab, but then the news part needs to be fit in some way.

oh, it was so easy as just click and drag them over to speed dial... Thank you!

I had to reinstall my computer and have now downloaded and installed Opera again. I was thinking that because I am syncing all my speed dials with Opera Sync I could easily get them back afterwards, but I am starting to think I was wrong. If I log in to Sync on sync.opera.com/web I can see all my old speed dials and bookmarks, but how do I get them on my computer again so I don't need to go into "other bookmarks"? I have tried looking around and searching with no results.

Yesterday I got the update 41.0.2353.46 and then I reopened Opera after updating all saved tabs from last session started to load. I have the settings for keeping my tabs from last session enabled and delay loading of background tabs enabled. Tried a few times today opening and closing and background tabs load everytime.

Steps to reproduce: open Opera setting, find show advanced setting and enable it, find continue where I left off and check it, check delay loading of background tabs.
Open some tabs, close Opera and reopen again.

Actual result: All tabs starts to load one after one-other.

Expected result: Only the tab that was selected then Opera was closed should load.

OS: Windows 10
Opera version: 41.0.2353.46 --stable
