Back Button and Google
Since upgrading to the 10.5 series, the Back Button is acting up only when using Google Search. If you perform a search in Google and select a link you are taken to the link successfully. Upon clicking the Back button, you are taken back to the Google search results for a few seconds and then immediately returned to the link you initially had chosen. When trying to return to Google search results, you are taken to the page prior to Google search results which was Google. What gives. I have seen others on here express the same concern yet no one will either acknowledge them nor provide a solution. This is extremely annoying when searching from Google. I have to open each link in a new tab for now.Win 7 64 Ultimate on 2 laptops. Same issue for both. Don't suggest reinstalling windows as that is not an option. I will drop Opera first.

Try moving operaprefs.ini from your profile folder (Help, About Opera). This will reset Opera to a default installation. You will lose any preference settings you have changed. If it doesn't work, just close Opera and move your old operaprefs.ini back again.

Similar problem here, but mostly with Wikipedia pages. Follow a few links and then when you want to go back using the back button, you end up at the speed-dial and everything in between is gone.
It is an intermittent problem.
>>Doesn't opera do any system testing / UAT before shipping?
They used to - since 10.5, they seem to have outsourced it to the lowest bidder.

ok - first off, there's another post on this problem
http://my.opera.com/community/forums/topic.dml?id=553471&t=1276513388
also - i just tried something. i had my site preferences to mask my browser as firefox at google (for that picture thing they did last week). switching to identify as firefox still saw the problem occuring. however, when i identified it as opera, the problem vanished. can someone else please verify this?
