Opera Home Page

Gillor

I have been using Firefox for a number of years but thought I would give Opera a go.

Downloaded it yesterday and apart from the fact that it is different and so will take bit of getting used to, I must say that so far I am impressed.

It feels clean, modern and above all faster than Firefox so I am certainly going to give it a good run to see how I take to it in the long term.

The only major gripe I have at the moment, which is a bit of a pain, is that I can't see a way to set more than one tab as my Home Page as you can in Firefox.

I've tried stacking tabs and setting the stack as my homepage but it only saves the web page that's showing on top of the stack.

I've also tried saving my current browsing session with all the tabs open I want to save but this doesn't work either as all my browsing sessions are run in Sandboxie so everything in memory is cleared when the sandboxed session closes.

The answer is probably obvious but I seem to be missing it completely - can any Opera users out there point me in the right direction.

Can you not put a few in speed dial and start with that ?

Gillor

Thanks ddoris. I hadn't realised what speed dial was for exactly but I have just been playing around with it and it works a treat.

Speed dial is basically a picture view of all your favorites/most used websites.

I have a 7x5 grid with all the main websites that i use and because of it rarely type a web address.

The only gripe i have with it....if you have a yahoo mail account, for some reason you cant print an email, so i have to open that email up in IE or Firefox.

Liking the speed dial facility the more I use it, and it certainly gets round the lack of a multi-tab home page.

So far, thumbs up for Opera - I like it a lot.

I just use the speed dial page as my home page. My favourite "like" about Opera is having the browser and e-mail on the same page (if you want to !)

Go to "Opera" - "Tabs & Windows" - "Sessions" - "Save this Session",then click 'Save Session" & name it,I put the current date. The when you open the next session,check the box to open that session & it will.I have my favorite websites save that way & they'll all open at once.I use Sandboxie as well with no dramas.

Thanks spike7451 - that's got it.
