Opera 9.10

[Tinker Gnome]

Okay, does anyone here have Opera 9.10? If so, is it working fine? I have 8.54 currently and I am thinking about upgrading, but I am not sure. I have haerd it has problems with Youtube in that it will not show the loading bar, and will not let one eatch a video fullscreen. I have also heard instanes of it crashing and what not.

Hmm ... well sir, I have a co-worker in the office who SWEARS by the Opera browser. He has the latest and does watch youtube things. I haven't heard him mention anything to me yet - neither crashes or other problems. But then, he usually does not try to alter the size of the screen he is watching the youtube feed on, if I remember correctly. :\

Hmmmm, I went to the Opera helo forums and I am hearing all kinds of problems. I am not sure if that is because they have a bunch of other stuff on their computer that is messing it up, or if it is Opera. 8.54 seems to have a minor bug that causes it to shut down rarely whenever I visit Youtube. A minor annoyance at most. I am considering upgrading, but I do not want to make my problem worse.

You could always re-install I suppose. :\

Do you know whether or no the favorites and other such things in Opera 9.1 are backwards compatible with 8.54? In other words, if you tried 9.1 out and did not like it, could you save settings, bookmarks and the like somewhere, uninstall 9.1 and then re-import them into a re-installed 8.54?

If so then there is only a little time lost in doing the extra labor.

I was told I could install 9.10 in a different folder, but I do not know how to do that and I do not trust myself to do it correctly.

I've been running Opera in the same folder since 7.5 (I know this because the current program file is in c:\program files\Opera75) with minimal issues. It's pretty good about keeping things compatible (and I've abused it horribly by installing numerous 8.x and 9.x beta versions in the same directory). I just fired up a Youtube clip full-screen with no problems.

Hey Mycanid, I DLed Firefox 2.0, and whenver I close it and open it again I can not use keyboard to scroll down and up. I have to go to Tools, and even though I have smooth scrolling active, I have to go to Ok to be able to scroll using my keybaord.

 

[Mycanid]

Bizarre.

I have NEVER had that problem and the almost all the pc's in the office use firefox 2.

Umm ... hmm. I don't know what to say.

Perhaps uninstalling and re-installing? :\

I would If I knew how. I actually havr to click on the Google searchbar, or click once when the homepage(which is a google seahc page) for the scroll function to work. Ah well, it is not like it is hurting my computer or anything.

I am going to go bug someone tomorrow and see if they can help me.

You just have to name a different folder when the installer prompts you about the folder where the program is going to be installed to. It will default to your already installed version and the folder it is in, but if you change that, the program will be installed in a different folder and should run independantly of the other. I did this with Opera 6 and 7 once, and it worked fine.

Right now I'm using Firefox (1.5x still ), so can't say anything about Opera 8-9.

Bye
Thanee
