It is the history saving problem. Delete the (whole) history, just be careful not to delete passwords/logins, and it will start a lot faster, and as the history fills, the startup gradually slows down.

Yes, I know you want your history, I want it too

Try removing the master password in Firefox, and then import to Opera. Make sure to backup Firefox folder first.
I've had the same issue, and it only loaded logins, not the passwords, and that works up until the version 29. After the update to Opera 30 no imported logins/passwords showed at all, until I downgraded back to version 29. and I am still on 29. so it may even be impossible to import logins/passwords to version 31. if they didn't fix that, or they even may call it a "new feature" instead of a bug.

Can you please give option so I don't have to confirm my decision to quit?
Thanks, that would be a blast!

WHYYYY NOT LIKE FIREFOX, QUIT WITHOUT ASKING?

number 4. password to protect/encrypt login/passwords

When I typed 4. (without the word number) it showed 1., but edit showed 4. again LOL

Thanks for the answer, I appreciate it, although all this isn't the case, because I am deleting cookies and history while no page is open. I'm gonna make a video and post it.

Croatia is in EU and it is not on this list.

OH Lord please don't let Opera developers auto-update any of the Opera products, please don't let that happen, it will be just as bad as when M$ bought skype

It's just like Croatian, we also say "no one can't" and that means "no one can"

Wow, this is great, thanks!
