Consider this:
Firefox:
1. open forums.ocuk main page, middle click all links that look interesting to load in background,
2. click on last tab opened and read thread, middle click on tab to close. or Ctrl-W
3. next last opened tab appears, rinse and repeat.
4. finally ending up at main page, ready to click 'motors' or whatever.
Opera:
1. open forums.ocuk main page, middle click all links that look interesting to load in background,
2. click on last tab opened and read story, middle click on tab to close. or Ctrl-W
3. Returns you to forums.ocuk main page.
4. Click back onto a tab you haven't read yet.
5. Read tab, close, Returns you to forums main page. ARGGHHHHH WHAT'S THE POINT OF TABS IF YOU KEEP GOING BACK TO THE SAME PAGE??
5. Might as well open one tab, read it close it, return to main page, open next tab. Rinse and reapeat.
Maybe someone can tell me the logic of this, or where I am going wrong. AFAICT there is NO way to change this behavior in Opera. It's the thing that stops me from using it daily. Otherwise it's a great browser. + Firefox is getting old and clunky now. Background loading of tabs pah don't make me laugh.
