I like the transfer window tab showing in the tab bar when a transfer begins, but I do not like it stealing focus/becoming active tab when it shows automatically like this.

Anyone know how to disable it becoming active/stealing focus? Thanks in advance

simply open the transfers section and click the View button

Wow, I never knew that! I feel silly for not seeing 'view' there all this time. Thanks a lot

Edit: What about when you open a link in new tab; is there a way to make it go to background rather than still focus? I did not see a view option for that. I hope it is easy like the previously mentioned Thanks in advance

You can either:

1) Right-click -> Open in background page

2) Shift+Ctrl+Click

3) Middle-click on link

Thanks Zxian I usually do the middle mouse button. I guess I noticed this problem when opening page in new window (rather than background). I still do the right click sometimes as everyone has an internet explorer past hah. Thanks mates for the help

I'm used to the Shift+Ctrl+Click myself, since I'm on my laptop 95% of the time, and there is no middle mouse button...

There's a lot more to Opera than what meets the eye. I'm still finding that I'm discovering new settings and options even after having used it for a number of months now.

And after a few YEARS on Opera, i STILL discover nifty functions that I never knew existed...

It seems the opera profile is stored in %appdata%; is there a way to store it in %programfiles%\opera ?

When you install it, choose "install for all users". Then all your configuration files would be in "profiles" folder under opera's directory

Here's a cool site I found that has buttons for opera.

I found it by looking for a how to separate the refresh/stop button (then I found a simple workaround too is to use ESC to stop rather than mouse).

Yeah, the ability to customize your own Main Bar for Opera pwnz. And the middle clicking really pwnz.

How do I get java to work in Opera? I can't seem to find a tutorial on this anywhere! Java is working fine for IE; it seems installed ok.

push f12, then make sure "enable java" is checked

Great! that worked, thanks ripken.

Is there a way to automatically accept certificates? I saw in Tools->Prefs->Advanced->Security there is a manage certificates, but I didn't see how to add in custom ones. Everytime I log into facebook for example, I have to click accept on the certificate in order to go further. Thanks for all the help everyone gives here.
