Using a browser different from Opera to open links in Opera mail client

I am using Opera email client 10.51 on Win 7 with POP3. Is it possible to open a link present in a mail in a new window using a browser different from Opera? I searched in Preferences/Advanced/programs but I was not able to find something useful.

Thank you.

Welcome to the My Opera community!

Tools -> preferences -> advanced -> toolbars -> Menu Setup -> Opera Standard -> duplicate

Edit the "standard_menu (1).ini" file with a text editor. It will be in the menu folder in your preferences folder. See Help -> About Opera for the location.


Under:
[Link Popup Menu]

add this line:

Item, "Open in Firefox"=Execute Program, "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe", "%L"


and save.

Then, in Opera, switch to using the new menu.

Then, when you right-click on a link, you'll have an "Open in Firefox" entry that will open the link in the message in Firefox.

Edit the command to launch a different browser instead.

Note: Unfortunately, "%variable" isn't working in the menu ini file at the moment, so you'll have to wait or find another way to do it.

Hi,

thanks for the information. I did the modification but when I click on "Open in OtherBrowser" only the Home page of the OtherBrowser opens and not the link.
Any other suggestion?

Thanks.
