Opera Browser

[rosyposy]

I have recently changed from Firefox to Opera as F/F was constantly 'not responding'. I don't find Opera as clear, but hopefully will get used to it but I have lost my toolbar on it, can anyone tell me how to get it back please?

Perhaps the following is helpful :-

Thank you for replying so quickly Hans, I already looked at that link but as I don't have a tool bar I can't > on either view or tools as it advises :0(

[Pete65]

Can't you Google "download Opera toolbar" and follow the instructions?

[rosyposy]

Tried that Pete, thank you, but it didn't download, Hans link sent me to settings then said tool bar not found. Maybe you can't have it on Opera?

[hc4361]

What toolbar do you want?

[rosyposy]

I am trying to get Files edit tools etc if that is possible hc, have tried R clicking at the top, in fact all the suggestions in AB relating to the problem that I can find, to no avail.

[hc4361]

Bizarre. I've installed Opera and see exactly what you mean. There isn't even a view-toolbar option anywhere.

Will investigate more tomorrow if nobody else comes up with a solution.

What you want is a 'Menu' bar!
Unfortunately, they have done away with it ☺☺☺

The closest you will get to it is if you click on the 'Opera' symbol in the top left corner or use the 'Alt' key.

[hc4361]

Thanks, SlackAlice. :)

[Hopkirk]

Try pressing Alt

[rosyposy]

Thank you Slack Alice, looks like I will have to do without it or maybe go back to firefox if it will start behaving itself :0) Really don't know if I like Opera all that much actually.Thank you all for replying and trying to help, rosy

[hc4361]

rosy, try disabling all your extensions in FF and see if that helps.
If all is well, you will have re-enable them one by one to identify the culprit.

[rosyposy]

Thank you hc I will try that (tomorrow) but I am not very PC literate so if it all goes pear shaped you will probably hear from me again :0) rosy

[hc4361]

Eek!

[SlackAlice]

Do as hc4361 suggests at 23.46. In my humble opinion the fewer extensions the better.

hc4361 I think you've 'pulled' ☺☺☺

Thanks for BA

Also make sure that Firefox is up-to-date. Version 36 was released last Monday.

Hi Rosy, I had loads of probs with F/F so scrapped it & downloaded Mozilla Sea Monkey, best ever, give it a whirl.

[Jackdaw33]

I much prefer Chrome, though it has its detractors.

Hello Methyl, I have an Acer laptop with windows 7, I have only had Firefox as my browser since I bought it 18months ago but because of the freezing etc my daughter installed Opera for me. She didn't mention that she had also uninstalled F/F so I don't know which version I had. I seem to read quite a lot of negative reports about I.E. especially about security
