Opera, where have you been all this time!

I've had Opera for a day and everything is perfect apart from 2 things:
1. No Bookmark Bar underneath address bar.
2. In FF, when i had a RSS feed you could click on it and it would give you another menu. Then you picked what you wanted to read. In Opera, it only shows you an overall point of the feed and then you had to click on another link to open it.
If anyone knows of any plug-ins for this, I'd be grateful.

View-> Toolbars-> Customise. Click on "Show hidden toolbars when customising" (bottom left of pop up)
Customise Opera to how you want it to look. I've got mine set up very minimalistically:
Not shown is the pop up window on the left hand side (which is set to show my mail) which is on toggle, click the line and out it comes.

i used opera a few weeks back, used the beta 9 version, got it to look just like firefox aswell. Anyway all was going well until opera decided not to load up any web pages at all 
tried everything to fix it, reintall, cookies, clear cache etc etc but still wasnt having it.
back to firefox now!

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.

That open the link in a new window rather than a new tab in the same window.
Holding down Ctrl + Shift + Left click does exactly what I'm after.

Good to see more people moving to Opera. As a long time user it has been a bit frustrating to see the hype about Firefox - tabs, wow 
Here are a few links with info for people making the switch. The tutorials are for Opera 8 but most of it still applies to 9beta.

Strange.
I find the password system far better with Opera than I ever did with Firefox.
