Hi Folks,
I've just been playing a bit with the latest version of the Opera browser (I tried it a few years ago, when it was fairly new on the scene; but it wasn;t really up to sbuff then).
It seems to work very smoothly, on the whole, but I have a couple of queries so far.
1. I went to the BBC TV page, andlaunched a video clip:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/eastenders/eastenders/episodes/episode_hub.shtml
Up it came, and duly played (I have RealPlayer already installed, and Opera seemed to find it easily), but I also got a popup with the warning message from RealPlayer:
You are using a browser that does not support scriptable plugins. Many embedded player sites may not work correctly.
I've never had this from Firefox (which I've been using for a few years). and I wouldn't have expected it from Opera, if it's as smooth as it claims to be. Comments?
2. I've tried to import my existing Firefox bookmarks, to see what would happen. Procedure was:
File --> Import and Export --> Import Netscape/Firefox bookmarks
and gave the dialogue window (with "Look in /home/ted/" at the top) the path to the file relative to that directory:
.mozilla/firefox/y8f9fahn.default/bookmarks.html
after which I got the message "One entry has been imported"; the I clicked "OK".
Now, after
Bookmarks --> Opera
I have a new item "Netscape bookmarks" -- but it seems to be null and void!
Any ideas?
With thanks, Ted.
