I have been having troubles with Opera lately. Every now and then it freezes and I have to keep cutting it off. And this is the only browser I can even bring up. Interet Explorer keeps getting errors and taking me to an error page. And I can't watch videos on Firefox. So, how do I stop Opera from freezeing. The offical site doesn't have an email address so I can't ask them.

Please check out my InuYasha fanfiction and tell me what you think.

I concur with Zet. There is something else that is damaging your computer and that only Opera is capable of at least trying to evade.

My bet would be that, if not a virus/trojan or something like that, it is a browser plugin such as Flash Player or Java that is causing the issues.

As for contacting the official people behind the browser, for that kind of issues you'd better try the forums instead, since for anything serious the Opera people will ask you to file a bug report, or anything of that caliber.

How about uninstalling and reinstalling Opera? Maybe something broke. Otherwise, you could update the flash player for Firefox and see if you can play vids that way.

You can export them as an HTML document and reimport them upon reinstall.

File > Importing and Exporting > Export favourites as HTML
And to put them back on: File > Importing and Exporting > Opera-favourites importing...

The exact wording of the menus may well be different, I'm just translating you my Dutch version.

I tried to download Opera on three different PC's, but the download are freezing.
That's because Opera sucks, anyone who says otherwise is a liar. FF is pretty much what Opera should be.

The Opera 10.5 build is pretty fast, it's very Chrome-like in its speed and appearance, albeit with more features.
VNs are superior to anime, don't @ me

That's what Bill Gates said about Windows 98
Windows 98 was a huge step forward despite its flaws. Now ME, that's another story.

Not mean to minimod, antitroll, ridiculize an idiot (well, maybe that yes) but...

You mean, so dull and lacking in feature customizability that one can't do anything advanced unless by installing extensions for pretty much any tasl, which bloat the browser, weaken the security, dehomogenize the user experience between machines, and except for a 5% of them that are just too spectacular, could have perfectly well be done as inbuilt features that Opera already does? Unlike other programs in its competence zone, Opera aims to be an Internet Suite, after all.

If anything, Firefox plus extensions (the good ones, like GreaseMonkey and NoScript) is what Opera should aim to be (feature-wise, not design-wise). Opera or even Chrome is what Firefox-alone-mode could aim to be. It can't even adequately compete in the market of "completely plain and simple browsers" because the recently released Midori or any text-mode browser as Elinks can do far better.

Justified rant (still a rant) ended.

Besides, if I am a liar, then I shall say, you are a pretty good and sane person who seems to always take care to express well-documented opinions and who is able to prevent himself from fallaciously comparing apples with oranges.

Yes. When Windows 98 was released. Don't compare proposals by after-effects, as everyone believe they are full-fledged generals after they read the battle in an history book. That's just silly, not to mention fallaciously foreshadowing.

Now, back to the problem at hand, Konekodemon hasn't reported back. In my book that's bad news, but... in these weeks of particular holidays one can only hope. The last time I had a serious problem with Opera was the 8.5 series. And the behaviours exposed so far are too content-specific to be Opera's fault. I remain expectant to see the OP report something like "hey, I removed 1337 malwares from my system and now even IE8 works wonders".

The only problem with Opera 10.10 is that it will, from time to time, randomly crash. Other than that, it's been running like a dream...as always! :D


I don't use "uber" Pokemon, I don't calculate stat values, I don't breed my way to perfection, and I don't care about natures. I catch my Pokemon the way they are, and treat them like individuals instead of brainless drones. If you use this philosophy, copy & paste this into your signature.
