Can you live with *just* opera?

tonsofpcs:
I don't know about opera, but you can definitely live with just Mozilla.

small things - much less control over how tabs work get's me every time I use Opera - also, not an important thing but it was opera brought in that thing where if you click on the open tab, it will go back to the previous tab - that worked for a very short while & hasnt since -

Actually, it works all the time, but it's... weird, to say the least. I can't explain how exactly works, but it seems to be a mix between the old behaviour and the default one in Firefox. In any case, it works fine for me, and I prefer it to the old one.

Another thing I cant seem to do is open new typed address in a new page as opposed to in current

You can hold Ctrl + Enter to open an address in another tab (+ Shift to open it in the background), but I don't know if this is what you're talking about :)

After using it a bit, I've found the "Awesome Bar" to be surprisingly effective... Opera has autocomplete, but FF3 effectively searches all my browsing history when using the address bar.

Opera Software should look at Firefox features, evaluate them, see where they can improve their own ones, clone the non-existent ones... and run with it :D

But if I want to clip stuff in Evernote, I have to open Firefox or IE (Not Evernote's fault, Opera doesn't support rich text to the clipboard, no two ways about it). . . probably the biggest Opera issue for me right now.

Did you try with the fix reported by tomos?

eh, you've lost me there Lashiec :P :D
dont know if I described it properly
-
say you look at tab#5, then look at tab#12,
then click on tab#12 again & it would go back to tab#5
(are you talking about the same thing? sounds like something that works or doesnt :))

thanks for that  :up:

Like Allen, I use FF only as a backup for that one site that doesn't load. Otherwise, I've enjoyed Opera for its broad customizability and cross-platform consistency. My only real gripe is the confusion I experience with keyboard shortcuts. I can never key two different installations the same for some reason. Go figure. Among all of these, I have to hit-and-miss to get all the shortcuts to work (under >Preferences >Advanced >Shortcuts):

- Opera standard
- Opera 9.2 compatible
- Opera Standard for Unix
- Opera 9.2 compatible (modified)
- Opera standard (modified)

Even if I delete them and start over, these variations still proliferate.

I have Opera Mini 4.1 installed on my Sony Erricson phone, i'm in search of alternative browser is there any alternative for it?
