Don't recall having any issues like that. I barely ever open Facebook in 12.16 though since on my computer that makes the browser just flat out crash about 40% of the time for some weird reason.

Just keep the mouse button pressed down for about a second when clicking on the back button and said menu will appear.

Just Drag and Drop bookmarks and folders to move them around. Sort alphabetically to organise them.

Yeah I meant if I want to see stuff in the "root" bookmarks folder it doesn't show up.

I see there is an option to import stuff into the quick access bar, but I have not organized everything neatly into folders so adding a few hundred individual bookmarks straight onto the quick access bar and then drag each one around individually would be a major hassle (my fault for being disorganized though). Organizing it first in an older version and then just importing the folders seems like a workable solution though.

Guess I'll spend a bit of time and see what I can do with it.

not even basic stuff like bookmarks are back.

This complaint is getting beyond tiresome, please search before posting. Bookmarks have been available in the Quick Access Bar for several versions now. It is even called the Bookmarks Bar again in Opera 19. Lots of features are still missing, but some have returned. Custom search engines, draggable tabs, and themes to mention just a few.

Rely? They sure are hiding it well then. I find absolutely no option anywhere to even display a quick access bar...

Ok found it. A hidden experimental feature apparently, but ok I'll concede that it's there if you know where to look. Not at all obvious for anyone who just open the thing up to check what is new, but some light at the end of the tunnel at least.

Anyone else who has just been "casually" looking at the new versions opera:flags is where you need to look for "advanced" stuff apparently.

[Edit:] It's still kinda useless though, yeah stuff you put on the quick access bar is there, but still can't access anything else. Would have to work around it by putting all bookmarks in a new folder and add it to the quick bar I guess (but no tools to do that in the new version, so will have to do it in 12X and re-import). Still boggles the mind that it's taking so long to get basic stuff like bookmarks to a usable level (yeah yeah I know they don't care about us old-fashioned people).

Importing as speed dial folders seem to be the best option so far, but still feels very clunky with large folders, search helps though, maybe possible to get used to it...

The rendering engine is absolutely fine, and frankly better than the old one. Using Opera 12 is starting to get painful I run into more and more sites that just flat out tell me my browser is outdated, and if I spoof the user agent they rely don't work properly.

The absolute gutting of every single useful feature other than rendering web pages is what I don't like. Just upgraded this one to 18 and STILL not even basic stuff like bookmarks are back. Gaaah! Loosing - patience - fast.

I've had mine peak out about 10 Gb or RAM used, by just opening and closing a lot of tabs over the span of several hours, seems like a memory leak (at least it doesn't free up memory when you close tabs it seems). At that point my disk was going like mad as it was hitting hard-faults all the time and system froze for like 2 minutes when I closed Opera as it was freeing everything up.

Just staying open with my regular tabs and a flash game running it seems fairly stable around 1Gb though. (I have 12Gb RAM in total).

Opera 12.16 64 bit on Windows 7 by the way.
