Thx.

@leocg

I listed it in my initial post: 95.0.4635.90.

It does not make sense that I would be instructed to 'refresh' O weekly 'unless' an update 'of some form' took place.

From memory, the '95' did not change but the '4653.90' portion did so.

@leocg

As mentioned, as recent as a week ago, after clicking 'Menu->About Opera,' an install occurred, and, consequently, I was instructed to restart Opera.

'Again,' I ask: Since Firefox uses an 'ESR,' does Opera have one as well (or an equivalent?).

If someone' can find out and update this post, all of us would appreciate it.

@leocg

I understand now about Auto Updates.

@leocg

Q: Am I correct that, within Settings, there is no option to disable the software from automatically checking for updates?'

A:

@sgunhouse

I should have been clear that I am running Win 7.

However, I am still able to 'manually' check (and install) updates though.

What is being 'updated' then? Firefox has an 'Extended Service Release'-Does Opera have an equivalent for Win 7 users?

Oh-You are a Tester.

@sgunhouse

Opera updates automatically as well but, that stated, each morning I still click 'Help->About Opera' in order to check for updates manually.

Q: What version do you have?

A:

Q: Are software updates enabled automatically by default?

Q: Is there a way to disable the software from automatically checking for updates?

Version: 95.0.4635.90

Hello.

I am 'likely' missing a detail so, consequently, I would like someone to explain it to me.

Every morning, I check for updates manually to ensure that the latest version is installed.

However, when I click on the Browser Red Menu Button, 'Get 'The Latest Security Update' is listed with a red dot.

When it is clicked, it states ''Download Opera Browser,' and a 'See More' link, with a 'Opera Browser For Windows' option.

Please answer each question separately:

Q: Since the browser has the capacity to 'check for updates,' why is there an option to download the software again?

A:

Q: When cookies are cleared and the browser is closed and reopened, one, the Browser Menu Button is no longer Red and, two, the 'Get The Latest Security Update' Message is not longer listed. Why is that?

A:

@leocg

Thx.

@leocg

To be clear then, when using O to access websites with Video and Audio, unless a 3rd party extension is 'added,' V and A will play automatically?

@leocg

I am not sure what you are talking about.

FF has an 'Autoplay' Setting option that permits a user to 'Block Audio And Audio,' which works beautifully.

Unfortunately, O does not have an 'equivalent' setting, which is what I was asking about.

@leocg

To be clear, without an 'add-on extension,' Opera enables Video and Audio Autoplay by default and, consequently, both have to be stopped manually on every website?

Issue Resolved.

@leocg

My question has not been answered:

'How Do I disable Video and Audio Using Opera' 'or' do Video and Audio play by default?

'Another' Issue With Opera:

Also:

On my desktop, I view Facebook via the Opera browser but when viewing posts from other people, the Date/Time stamp is no longer visible.

Instead, it shows a random series of numbers and digits. However, 'hovering' over it displays the date and time.

Refreshing the page does not work. The issue occurs on Firefox as well.

'Again,' am I missing an 'obvious' detail here?

Latest Version of Opera.

Hello.

'Clearly,' I am missing a detail because I am unable to find 'Autoplay' (in order to turn off Video and Audio) under 'Site Setting.'

Where was it moved to?

@leocg

Issue resolved by closing and reopening O-Thx.
