Thanks Rik, I shall sleep better for knowing that...

Time to go to the Opera, perhaps?

Thanks Rik, yes it is looking ever more tempting, I do like FF, but if it aint fixed within a couple of days, I will be going to the Opera.

Loaded and tested Opera...

No reply feature on this Forum  ... good start.

Oh well, back to FF.

I like opera and cannot understand why its not more popular,the "wand" password filler for me is the best built in tool of any browser.

I use IE7 and it works fine.

I use FF and /or IE6, I dumped IE7, I didn't like it.

Strange that this site doesn't seem to function under Opera for me and you Max, but it seems OK for DorsetBoy

I know a guy thats used Opera for years i will go ask if he knows whats wrong.

I am afraid just can't get on with Opera.

I don't like that way "bookmarks" are laid out, etc.

I will stick to Firefox - vulnerabilities will be sorted out, they always are.

Opera bookmarks are laid out exactly the same as Firefox

[RJM]

Sorry,

They don't appear the way I want them to as in Firefox.

I've also found that Opera does some strange things to layouts on some sites, including printing backgrounds that no other browser does.

I liked it, I found it faster than IE &FF, but it just wasn't quite 'me', if you know what I mean.

The vulnerabilities in FF will get sorted, meantime, if we know they are there, we can do a bit to protect ourselves.

Just re-loaded and tested myself, I agree. I assume, knowing the forum adjusts to the browser used, that there's an error in the coding here?

Here we go.................

XP SP2  Opera and Firefox tiled on screen.

Very curious, Dorset. I wonder what you're doing that the rest of us aren't?

[Ray]

Works for me as well Rik just used it to post this reply

[DorsetBoy]

 

The X factor........ 8)

It works perfectly in Linux too.

[Rik]

This calls for further investigation... tomorrow.

I wonder if it's anything to do with the fit to screen option?

[DorsetBoy]

No problem,you should use what suits you best,but I would love to know what you can't get Opera to display correctly.
