Downgrading Opera
At home on my PC I have Opera 10.50. I have had it for several weeks. I have not gotten used to it and I hate some of the changes enough to stop using Opera. On another thread I asked how to go back to an earlier version without losing settings and there were no replies.Can anyone tell me how to revert to a previous version where Ctrl + F gave you a popup and the the server name was completed? I'm not sure what version had that and how to revert.
Thank you for your help.
I like most new things in Opera 10.5. Only the search bar let me feel that not releasing Linux final is fortunate. I don't have to choose between new security fixes and search bar+spatial navigation.
About the settings, what settings do you want to keep? I don't know about the email preferences. But if they are GUI or other non-mail related setting, copying them should be quite easy.

It's easy, I have both Opera 9 and this mess of Opera 10.53 installed, just copy the main files (http://www.opera.com/support/kb/view/313/) like you would if you were doing a backup. You have to check in Opera 9 or 10.10 (or whatever version you're downgrading to) where your Profile folder is.
Type opera:config and you'll see where all your Opera folders are.

You should realize that as the versions have evolved, features (as well as version-specific 'issues') have changed, so one person's favorite version can be another person's most-hated version. My more-recent personal favorite versions have been 9.27, 9.64, and 10.10... but then, I'm actually growing fast to like 10.53 as much as those, so you may find my opinion a bit suspect.I forgot to ask, what version should I go back to? ...
Also, do keep in mind that older versions have more security vulnerabilities than newer ones, since some of the intermediate update numbers represented security fixes (like the current 10.53 is a security update to 10.52), while others were a combination of security fixes and feature updates.
Opera 12.14u (1738), 11.52 (1100) & 10.63 (3576) running on various Windows systems from Win7-64 down through KernelEx4-modified Win98FE (proof that reports of Win98's demise are greatly exaggerated).
