This is also something which might interest the OP enough to try, but one biggie that stopped me from moving on from Presto (I use v11.64) was the ability to move the tab bar to the bottom, like in Excel. Who's crazy idea was it to put browser tabs at the top in the first place? It's much more convenient for me to have them live down the bottom of the screen - that's where my mouse pointer generally is and most of what's on my screen is browsing space. Couple that with right-click & scroll wheel tab switching and I might just be tempted enough to install it as a back-up browser (to 11.64, because I still love the old mail integration... amongst other things, e.g. notes and widgets and such).

Here's v11.64 showing the image above of what I guess is how you must have the tab bar in the latest version. Has there been any change in where you can position the tab bar? Even Firefox lets you put them at the bottom.

I can't seem to find it anywhere. I would like to change the default action for movies from opening in the registered program in windows to download to the downloads directory specified in settings. I enabled advanced settings, but I still don't see where all the mime types and actions are? Any help greatly appreciated.

Just discovered this glaring omission myself. I use Opera 11.64 as a rule but happened to find myself confronted by Opera 21 on a colleague's computer when I was trying to demonstrate something.

How annoying that I can't open a Word Doc in Word directly from a link on a web page

One day I hope that Opera will see fit to make their browser more acceptable to me, but the longer it goes, the more likely it'll be that I just find a different browser and get comfortable with that.

You know leushino, if you're tired of reading negative things about the new Opera browser, maybe you should stop reading these forums. Not quite sure what possesses you to respond to everyone who makes an anti Opera sentiment on these forums. Not even sure how one man can commit so much time and energy to such a cause.

Well said. The guy is like some over-defensive fanboy getting angry when people criticise his beloved company. I'm looking around for an alternative to Opera as, like many long-time Opera users, I think the new version is terrible, so I found the OP's post useful.

Ditto to everything you said there. I downgraded to 11.64 which will keep me happy for a good while longer but I found the top post quite helpful. I used to visit this forum every day but when Opera 15 appeared I took a rest on the morning side of the mountain with the occasional look up to see what's been happening, but it seems to have become a much less friendly place to visit these days.
