Opera’s bookmark import function seems to be AWOL.

[Bulwyf]

I haven’t got that far heh. I will look into it.

I didn’t have that many bookmarks I guess, if I have time to be on the computer, I’m typically on FR lol.

[Utilizer]

I attempted to use the new and latest Opera, downloaded from Major Geeks, and there are OTHER PROGRAMS I CANNOT GET OFF MY MACHINE!!!!! They were imbedded in the installation process, and were unannounced, and were nopt selectable to ignore, during the process, so the heck with Opera.

Go to opera.com and download a pristine version direct from the source. I have installed it on many machines to date and never had a problem with imbedded programs.

[Grams A]

Thanks - I’ll try that.

I downloaded and installed Opera yesterday, but I couldn’t find the bookmarks/favorites. Maybe I’m completely blind but couldn’t figure out where they were! I uninstalled it.

Ah, the intolerant cries for tolerance.

Hypocrites.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

OMG just downloaded Opera and it is nice! Much better than IE and Chrome.

[Utilizer]

Glad you like it. Don’t forget to try some addons -I highly recommend Ghostery and Adblocker, at a minimum. Tip: on Ghostery, only go with the default settings if you do not care about not being able to access things such as Disqus, otherwise use it on a page-by-page setup.

[Utilizer]

It’s under the small [Opera] tab on the upper left. You can set all your preferences from there, including whether or not you want the Menubar displayed.

[Utilizer]

Oh, and don’t forget to go to the Settings - Preferences, and set your Cookies to “Delete upon exiting”. Unless you like to have Cookies kept, that is.

[ducttape45]

I’m sorry, but it’s just not there. No way to display the menu bar, bookmarks, nothing. I can’t use that. I’ll try Safari for now.

https://addons.opera.com/en/extensions/details/bookmarks-manager/?display=en

is that the add-on that I should be adding?
Yeah I already saved my bookmarks from firefox I have a file on my desktop ready to go once I Get this done..is that the one I should install?
Also..as far as making the fonts bigger..is there a way after I make it bigger for each page that it just saves it like that instead of me having to change it every time it loads

[Nickname]

That’s the addon I’m using and I haven’t had any issues with it.

As for font size... I haven’t changed anything there, but go to Settings and select Websites. Under Display it looks like you can change the minimum font size used.

Good luck. I’m happy enough with Opera!

[Sarah Barracuda]

I have Opera open now..and I installed that plugin, but when I go and add the bookmark file from firefox nothing happens I dont see anything
Also..u know how there is a drop down menu on the place where you put in the URL so that you can see other URL’s you have used, I dont see that

[Nickname]

Over on the top right side of my browser, there’s a bookmark icon. Click that and below the heading, there’s a option for “Manage and Import.” Clicking that should prompt you to select the html file you saved from Firefox.

As for the URL field, it should populate with more addresses you’ve visited as you use the browser more? I’m not having an issue with visited web sites not dropping down.....

[Sarah Barracuda]

Yeah its not working..when it loads the file it says 0 bookmarks saved..its a json file from firefox..maybe thats the problem, its not an html file..how do I make it an html file so that it will import?
Also..yeah Im not seeing anything dropping down as far as other web sites Ive been to..guess I have a lot to learn about this, so used to firefox..I just see an option, add to speeddial and add to stash and thats it

[Sarah Barracuda]

K I figured it out, about the importing files thing..just went to Chrome and created an HTML file and did it..so that part works, I just dont see any scroll down menu option for my other sites that I have been on

Morality is necessary to understand what is inferior, what is equal, and what is superior to each of us.

Dear Utilizer,
Thanks for that extra tip. I will try that, after I try Avant Browser; Sleipnir; Cyberfox; and Waterfox.

There is one thing, though. Since I have never paid any tribute money to Mozilla, or any of the other-than-Microsoft stuff I do use, I do not see that I am “supporting-the-queers”.

My daddy told me a long time ago, that, if you give money to something, you become part of that something, whether you agree or not with what they do with your given money.

These companies put forth their products for free. Then, they ASK you to use PayPal to ‘support’ them. On software websites, the ones I do use, mark their products as freeware. If they thought their product was so hot, why did they not make it “shareware”, with a time limit, before you had to buy the code?
