Do more on the web, with a fast and secure browser!
Download Opera browser with:
Version: 42.0.2393.14 - Opera is up to date (04 Nov 2016)
Update stream: beta
System: Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS (x86_64; Unity)
Adobe Flash Player Version: 23.0.0.205
Opera zygote processes continue to run when I close Opera and fails to restart until I run
"killall opera-beta" twice.
Disabling flash plugin fixes.
Anyone else get this?
PS: get a real fkn forum. PITA to use.
If I understand you correctly, when you run the launcher opera opens 2 tabs.
To avoid this, in opera "Settings > On startup" set it to "Open the start page".
When using Ubuntu you could also add a quicklist to your normal opera launcher.
Copy the opera launcher from /usr/share/applications to ~/.local/share/applications
and add a quicklist as in this example... http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2178491&p=12806948#post12806948
Here's a tip for you.
Stop being a forum condescending know-all smart ass.
The original question includes the statement "I can't see any settings to enable/disable opera to vet pages I visit for malicious content."
Very easy to understand the answer I was looking for but you chose the smart-ass route.
GADUY
No kidding. :p
What I want to know is where are the preferences for this.
I don't need opera to hold my hand.
In google-chrome there are settings in privacy to enable-disable these sort of web services.
Why does opera give me a malicious malware warning on certain sites.
I can't see any settings to enable/disable opera to vet pages I visit
for malicious content.

Found what was wrong.
I had made a custom launcher @ ~/.local/share/applications/opera-developer.desktop with an exec line.....
Exec=opera-developer ....Seems the %U is needed.
eg Exec=opera-developer %U
When opera-developer is not open the link opens in background but if already open the new window opens in foreground.
I'll work on that but at least it's opening.
Thanks for the feed back.
Created a new Ubuntu user account and works there.
Back in my usual account, renamed my ~/.config/opera-developerfolder, so as at next start opera-developer will load using the default config.
Still just opens a blank tab.
So opera-developer appears to be OK and it's some other setting in my normal user account.
If I have a web address such as http://www.tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/ in gnote or another
application clicking on this will open it in the default browser.
This will work when the default browser is set to firefox, google-chrome, chromium, opera 12.16, or midori.
When the default browser is set to opera-developer (Version:28.0.1750.11) it just opens a blank tab.
