Thanks lando,

I'm amazed how you can keep up with all this stuff !!

READER ALERT: This is an old (October 2015) thread.

I am the OP. In re-reading this thread I have a question re lando242's response above to my original post. viz. he suggests using SESSION BUDDY in Opera. I have just now (finally) looked into doing this and all that I am able to determine is that SESSION BUDDY is for the Chrome browser. Am I wrong? Can I not use this extension with Opera?

lando242, are you still there?

Anyone else?

Apologies for my unusual sequencing here -- I will start a new thread if the original context is lost...

You are much more modern than I, leocg. I'm still running XP, on both v12 and v36.

With my old v12.17 Opera, Google Translate had a "pronounce it" feature. However, my v36 does not. Surprisingly, the web page for both looks exactly the same -- except that the "pronounce it" icon is missing in my v36 GT webpage. My guess is that I must be missing an add-on, but I can't figure out how to find which is missing. Can someone please tell me?

Or, please tell me if my guess is wrong, and what I should do.

Thank you very much for any guidance.

Hey, you guys are great! These are all new insights for me. I think I understand everything -- except "restricted" and "unrestricted" use by Joshi. Can you please explain?

Here's a new question that emerges for me: Can both v12.17 and v3x. be running simultaneously, or might they conflict?

Thanks again!

Thank you very much for your feedback, Lando242. That puts a lot of my confusion to rest! I'm thinking that maybe I have no really good reason to quit Opera 12 now .... :down:

Apologies, I am not at all current in my knowledge of Opera's release versions.

I am still running XP, (SP 3.0, v 5.1.2600). I am still running, and have been since its release, Opera v12.17. But somehow Opera v30.0 got loaded onto my system. (If I caused that it was not intentional.) And today I unwittingly upgraded v30 to v32.0.1948.69.

I now presume that I should be running v32 instead of v12, but the trouble is that neither of these upgrades carried over my Bookmarks, Sessions, or Settings/Preferences -- so I continue to use v12.

Can someone please tell me, (if it is possible), how can I bring these v12 files into v32?

Thank you very much.
