Niggling issues in Opera on Amazon, Windows Live Mail and other sites
Browser: Opera 10.53OS: Windows 7 32-bit
I've had this problem with Opera v9.xx on Windows XP and I hoped that it be resolved but it's well into v10.xx development and there has been no resolution. Perhaps Amazon is not coded to work with Opera, but I wanted to bring up this issue. In Opera, when I'm looking at a product on Amazon, there are no forward or backward arrows in the "Customers who viewed this item also viewed:" and "Customers who purchased this item also purchased:" sections. Typically, I see 5 items listed in these sections, but if I load up the same page in Firefox, there are forward and backward arrows that allow me to see 15-20 more 'pages' of items viewed or purchased by other customers. This is very useful to a prospective customer doing market research before buying a product and this limitation in Opera means that I have to open up Firefox to do any shopping on Amazon.com. If it is possible, I would like to see this problem rectified.
Another problem I wanted to bring up: Opera and Windows Live Mail (website) just don't work well with each other. I have all sorts of issues when trying to open up hotmail in Opera. Floating lines of text, incessant rapid reloading that prevents me accessing my mail, clicks not registering when I click on email, the Live Mail search window not working, something that prevents me from scrolling down (the window automatically gets dragged up to the top of the page every time I try to scroll down) etc. I've scanned my computer for malware, viruses etc. with several 3-4 scanners but I found nothing so I assume that it's a problem between Opera and WLM. I don't have any problem using WLM in Firefox.
A new problem that manifested with the 10 series is , on certain sites, such as dailytech.com, after I click on an article and read it, the page continues to (re)load (??) several pages into the back button. When I hold down the back button, there are several links to the same page. Here is the sample page address from the back button when I was reading an article on dailytech.com: http://wd.sharethis.com/share3x/lightbox.2f51be13a1cd8771f. If you look at just below article's headline, there is a "share this" button that will drop down a small box if your hover over it. There are dozens of links to websites such as FB, Digg, Google Buzz, Live Mail etc. in that box. I think that the loading the options in that 'share this' box creates all the links in the back button. Sometimes there can be 20-40 such links that render the back button difficult to use. Perhaps this is a CSS or Java scripting error? This is not the only website that this happens on. I have included a screenshot that maybe useful. Sample Dailytech Problem.png
