Opera vs Firefox - Page 5

Go into Tools -> Preferences -> Advanced -> Shortcuts & Tick "Enable single key shortcuts". It's a version thing, all the shortcuts were changed from single keys to very strange multiple ones, so its compatible with everything (some shortcuts were system mapped originally). Once this is ticked, the shortcuts 1,2, ctrl + p, ctrl + f5, 0, 9, and countless others like obvious ctrl + n, and ctrl + r etc... are all back to normal

I did that and it made no difference so I went back in and changed the keyboard setup from "Opera Standard" to "Opera 9.2 compatible" and all was well - CTRL+ALT+R reloads all the tabs nicely

Oh cool

You could just add reload all yourself and bind it to ctrl + f5 in the customise section. Strange ctrl + f5 works fine for me...
Apart from that then, hows it feel

?

How are the Opera installs coming along? I installed and configured the latest Opera beta built last night, backed up my profile, and completely removed everything and installed again, and Opera is currently absolutely flying!

I may write a little how to initially configure Opera tutorial if anyone likes? Just got Del.icio.us as integrated as it can get too, and finally solved a few little niggles with my external download manager (FDM). Only final problem is downloading xml nzb files from NewzBin opera can't detect and save the correct file extension...

Still having the rather annoying Opera 9.24 crash opera.dll issues. Would completely removing all traces of Opera and reinstalling be worth it?

LeperousDust · 02-12-2007, 23:15

Possibly, i did, i uninstalled it removed the program files folder and the %appdata% folder and then just copied over speeddial.dat wand.dat and oper6.aht for speed dial wand and bookmarks. And set all my other settings up again, it really is flying currently. I don't know about yourself but i'm totally reliant on the beta now, its perfect for me

Well I'm in between two places really. As far as I am concerned 9.24 should be rock stable and it isn't. Although I know that it is opera.dll crashing I don't know what it is, some pages cause it when they are just one of several tabs, but when I open up an offending page on its own, nothing happens.

I'm wondering if completely nuking Opera and reinstalling will help. I assume it will, even if it doesn't work, it would then imply that something else on my PC is causing the problems.

I also had that rather amusing problem with a beta from a few weeks ago, I would shut Opera down and then get a message telling me its crashed! I think not, good sir! I've just shut you down.

I don't use Speed Dial at the moment but I have exported my bookmarks so I might nuke Opera now. I'll go to the Opera site and see what folders I need to hunt down and mercilessly annihilate to clean my PC.

Yeah just reinstall doesn't take more than 30 mins to have Opera exactly as you last had it

On a more anal retentive note that doesn't matter but is nice anyway, i just found these opera speed tests (shame it only goes up to 9.01 though) Opera does pretty bloody well in these!

Well I've reinstalled and I'm not going to use the urlfilter.ini for a while. Or the custom css I had for over there. Just going to try Opera as vanilla as possible and see how it works. That way if the errors still happen I know it isn't the urlfilter.ini or the custom css etc.

I should be revising for two exams i have over the next two days but anyway, if anyone has Opera 9.5 and would like to use the new Gmail 2.0 (which gmail won't push to us because they ignore opera). The opera community have (as usual) solved it themselves! http://my.opera.com/community/forums....dml?id=215172 Follow these instructions and you can use all the new fancy Gmail 2.0 features right in your favourite browser

Haven't tried this yet, as i use Aspell, but this UserJS spelling which uses the GMail spelling engine looks good too, see here:
