After having a few problems with Firefox, I decided to give Opera 9 Beta 2 a whirl.

Oh my! Why didn't I convert earlier!

Just a fast if not faster than Firefox, loads quicker, consumes less memory and doesn't feel sluggish with a lot going on, mouse gestures are awsome when using a laptop (Touchpad. Have to use keyboard shortcuts to move back and forwards. Not anymore!), picture preview of tabs I have open.

More I use it the more useful features I find.

Loving it!

Right, need some help.

Couple of things I liked with Firefox but can't seem to find with Opera.

1. Can you bookmark all open tabs in a folder?

2. How do you open a new tab with the keyboard and mouse? My laptop has no middle click button and with firefox I was able open a new tab holding ctrl and clicking on the link. Is there a similar way with Opera?

Apart from that, love it!:D

Ctrl+Shift+N opens a new tab, or if I'm in a webpage right click on the link and you'll see the options to open in new page or open in background.
Click to expand...

That just opens a blank tab. What I wanted to know was clicking on a link and having it open in a new tab. Ctrl+shift+left click works fine. With Firefox it was just Ctrl+left click.

Just handy to know as its a pain when using the touchpad on my laptop. No middle button to click you see.

Opera doesn't appear to allow the saving of all open tabs in a folder like Firefox.:(

But it has something that pretty much does the same thing.

File > Sessions > Save this session.... > call it what ever you want. You can then bring up all the tabs again is the Sessions menus again.
