Well, I'd be happy to swap issues with you, because I DO have the "delay loading of background tabs" selected, but they all load, which is NOT what I want at all, as it slows down opening & closing Opera, and runs up my RAM & CPU Usage big time! Maybe the key is to select the opposite of what we want in the preferences, maybe if I not select it, the background tabs won't open, and vice versa. But it is quite odd that we are both experiencing Opera not doing what we've selected, really odd...

It would be nice if there was an icon in the toolbar we can easily use to zoom in or out, and if the gauge that shows the percentage was onscreen longer than two seconds, when we hit the zoom in or out option in the drop-down window . Why can't this be in the toolbar, as it is in all other browsers?

I get this same notice when trying to play videos on some of the major network sites ABC, CBS, etc. which work fine with other browsers, so why can't Opera play them?

@leocg I see it once I reduce or enlarge the page, so I don't know why they don't just have it there all the time? What's the point of it, if you still have use the View menu first? It makes no sense this way, plus, when I click on the icon, the window that opens disappears in about a second or two, usually before I can even click on up or down! Plus, even with the icon, it still involves an extra step no other browser requires. I'm so used to having a zoom in or out icon in the toolbar, that having to first open another menu is just wasted added actions...

But thanks for letting me know about the little icon..

@leocg That doesn't work! I can't log in to the site, nor can I change my password in Opera's saved passwords, which is ridiculous! Why can't we manually change it? When I put in the right one on the site, Opera keeps reverting it to the one it has saved, which is not the correct one! And while it shows the site, there's also an Opera window saying the site can't be accessed! Or at least it's half an Opera window, as it's cut in half!

Opera is lately driving me crazy with how many websites it just won't work with, sometimes it's the VPN feature that prevents it from functioning, but others, it's Opera itself, especially video streaming sites, like HULU, and some major network stations. Why is it so incompatible with so many sites???

@NewWorldMan Yeah, I see that, but it's a race of reflexes to get to the numbers to try and make the zoom more or less!!

@leocg So, ignore my issue completely because one sentence was capitalized? Good grief...

Every time I open Opera, I must sit and wait five or ten minutes, as it slowly opens all previously open tabs, in every window. This not only takes forever, but uses up nearly eleven Gigs of RAM!! This is so absurd a way of doing things, that I cannot believe the developers continue this ridiculous protocol! Why don't they fix this, as it definitely is a huge drawback to my using Opera, despite liking many other aspects of the browser?

@leocg You've obviously missed my point. Yes, I know all about those options. However, not all browsers choose to open every tab, but for the top one in each window, upon relaunching, thus saving many Gigs of RAM, and allowing the user to decide if and when to open any of those tabs. So my question is why doesn't Opera go this time & energy-saving route, instead of the pointless one of having to open every single one?

Sometimes a tab loads, but then the circle next to its name will continue spinning & spinning, as if still trying to load. Trying to end it, by clicking on the X in the toolbar, often has zero effect. So why doesn't this stop it, why doesn't it stop, once loaded in the first place, and is there any other workaround to stop this incessant spinning?

Same problems as everyone. It feels like I'm back on a dial-up connection! It's ridiculously slow.. I don't know how they can release an "update" so awful.... smh.

WTF? I gave up on Opera a few months ago, and decided, since there's been a couple updates already, and this is the newest one, that maybe it will actually work. Well, downloaded and installed it. And sure enough before I can even do anything, it's "not responding" and using 100% of my CPU.... what is the trick to having this browser actually install itself and work??

I had this same problem, on both my computers, and nothing I did fixed it. Somehow, after totally removing & reinstalling it (after a few tries), it now is working OK, it could be the most recent update fixed something. So it seems to. be working, without instantly freezing, and running up all my RAM, the only issue now, is that I can't stream without it buffering and buffering.

@SilentHugOfDoom Also, how can I remove or change the order of folders shown in the bookmarks bar? I tried sliding them there, but it's forcing them in the opposite order I want them in the bar. I don't know if I move it to the trash, if only the icon in the bar goes, or if all the bookmarks in that folder, I wish there were clearer directions, as this is not the most intuitive process, also why can we still not "customize the toolbar", as we can with every other browser?

@SilentHugOfDoom On the same line, how do you move the Top Sites in the "Other Top Sites" folder, to the Top SItes page?

I also re-installed an older version on my laptop, and it's working OK, too. It's just the version 67 that was going haywire.

@escape75 I'm afraid I don't have any idea what DNAWIZ-90708 is, or where I would find it, and I do have a Mac. I "solved" this issue, by re-installing an older version, 65xxx over the new one, and now it's working OK...

@herr-matheus Yes, that's the version I have as well, so something must be up with that! I too, hope someone responds, that knows what's going on. As it's now totally unusable....
I'm still using an older version on my iMac, and it's working OK, it's the new one that's not.

@fałek By "some time" , how long do you mean? Half an hour, an hour, longer?

@stevenjcee I even downloaded and installed a fresh copy, and it still won't open in usable condition! And I don't even know if the new version is an update or not, since the Opera info in my app folder won't give me the exact version, only saying 67.0! Another mad frustrating quirk....
