Opera 10 beta 2

christjosh · #1 (**permalink**) 02-08-2010, 12:02 AM

Ok.... can someone using Opera 10 beta 2 please tell me how to set the homepage? I cannot figure it out and the Opera website is no help. Everytime I launch Opera, I get an error screen that says "You tried to access the address 'file://localhost/home'."

I have looked in settings and throught the registry. I cannot find the location where I can set this.

A seemingly common issue:

9.7 seems to be the latest that works with the Imagio and the zoombar.

I am using Opera 10 Beta 2u and it works fine on the Imagio. The zoombar doesn't work. But the zoombar doesn't work on Skyfire either and probably won't work on any other Opera builds so who wants to get stuck on some old version just to keep the zoombar?

you can try it out. Install it, if you don't like it, uninstall it. It doesn't erase the original Opera browser that came on the phone (at least it didn't on mine).

Thanks what is the diff between 9.7 and 10 beta 2? Also where do you get 9.7

Been using Opera 10 beta for a while now, WAY better than the stock browser, zoom bar doesn't work but I don't miss it. Try it, you'll never go back....

Seems kind of sluggish to me. Definitly loads pages a bit slower. More so than 9_70 which I've been enjoying. Also not as smooth flowing as the older versions. I'm gonna mess with it some more, but have my doubts that it will be a keeper for me. Just my $.02

The zoombar does not work on purpose. Opera is going with a whole new paradigm of mobile browsing where there is only 1 level of zoom. Double click to zoom in, double click to zoom out. I was upset with this decision at first but I've found it works really well. Text colums are resized to fit based on your zoom level and screen size.

can not say i use the zoom bar alot but it is some times handy. Can you get the 9.7 off of the Opera website or how do you try that one?

Try this, I still prefer it over 10. Maybe I need to give 10 more time to grow on me.
