This didn't work for me. I had to download and reinstall the program, then go in and change the settings listed above and now it works. I also had to shut down the browser first. Amazing. It doesn't ask if you want the plug-in, it doesn't go and get it for you.

If you're been a long time user you've probably done all these things, but man, if you're new to this you'd dump it in one or two days.

For those of you NOT experiencing problems, do this. Save Opera to another folder and start fresh. Look at all the problems, then get back to me.

I just checked to make sure it's checked. It is.

Also came across another bug (problem). I can't get Opera to save files where I want them (the desktop) even though it's set to save to the desktop. Instead it saves to two different folders and I have no idea why.

I have two passwords saved (after using the program for a few weeks)...and it's not saving any auto complete data....just checked...nothing saved. There's nothing saved from Opera.

We can only assume rafeulluik is telling the truth. Doing otherwise seems like a waste of my time. I'm having problems. I'm a new user and I have decades of experience using almost every major browser ever created (from alpha to beta to stable releases). I beta tested the very first versions of Chrome....long before 1.0. So I kinda know what I'm doing.

The lack of bookmarks was a huge blow to the way I normally browse since it's what I've alway done but I have to admit I like the speed dial feature which is far better than Chrome. Chrome decides what's on that page, not me. I can edit the page at will, but I can't do that on Chrome anymore. It's what I want in a browser...total control over what it does. Chrome is no longer that browser.

I haven't come across any problems with youtube yet. Lots of other videos though.

I'm running the program as is and I'm telling you it DOES not save my user name or password. In fact, it doesn't even ask me if I want to.

Great line in the second link. "At Opera we had a slogan that if somebody was better than us, it was a bug."

If that was ever true what an amazing statement. It is not true today. As a new user I can tell you I'm finding problems almost daily. While I'm sure most of them can be fixed at some point, this version of the program should be in beta testing. A stable release should NOT be this unstable.

I can wait hours and it still won't work. Just happened again....had to restart the computer and this was after not using the computer for a few hours. Like I've said before I've never seen a program do this before...where it can't restart after being shut down. The program pops up, but it refuses to work.

I'm forced to use other browsers, something I've never had to do regardless of my browser of choice.

There are many problems. For example, it seldom remembers passwords etc., so I go back to Chrome to do things I'd like to do on Opera. Even for this site it doesn't remember my password and I have enter it each time...what a complete waste of time. Is the website poorly written or the browser?

From my experience Opera works when it wants to. ABC News videos seldom work...even when they're on Yahoo.

I'm starting to see a small pattern. Crashes come after I close the program and restart. It never crashes on startup so something gets stuck when I close. Also, more times than not Speed Dial is the first thing I hit after I shut it down and restart and that's where the problem seems to come from. When Speed Dial stops working, the program stops working.

Yes, two. Adblock Plus and AVG PrivacyFix.

I'm reasonably new to Opera but Speed Dial is getting slower and slower as I add more sites. I can easily see it bogging down my entire system as my favs (or bookmarks) increase.

Since I don't know what was in previous versions it's hard to contrast or compare, but what I'm finding is that Opera is reasonably fast, crashes often, sometimes loads video, sometimes not. Sometimes does what I want, sometimes not. I can click on a link and it'll do nothing. I've never had a browser do that before. There aren't tons of problems but it's clearly not top of the line.

Firefox and Chrome are far more stable. Google loads in silly Google pictures on its opening page which bog down my system. I don't want those pics but I want the search engine.

It seems the browser crashes mostly (stops loading any links) when I click a link from Speed Dial. Not always, just when it wants to...usually when I'm doing more than one thing, spreadsheets, browser, email, etc. 10 gig of ram, 64-bit, but it can crash whenever. I can't see an absolute pattern.

I left Chrome because it sucks. I started using Opera, but find that it sucks too. For me it crashes all the time. Chrome never crashed and/or if it did, all I had to do was restart and everything was okay. Not with Opera. Opera crashes (stops accepting links) and I have to shut down the computer to get it to work again. Totally unacceptable.

My version of Opera crashes daily and the only way I can get it to work again is to restart the computer. I've never had a browser that can't restart itself after crashing. IMO, a fix is absolutely necessary.
