Another new build has been released by the Opera team as they continue to prove their dedication to providing wonderful software. The Opera team is nearing a Release Candidate for Opera 9.01 and they are looking for testers.
Here is a list of changes for 9.01 so far:
- Empty spam puts messages in trash again
- Fixes to contenteditable
- Several stability fixes
- Several IMAP fixes
- Open image in mail does now opens in new tab
- Fixed bug where inline error messages opened blank
- Fixed bug where Java Applet did not load when width and height set to 0
- Chat colors (re)fixed
- Search field now shows dropdown when using the down arrow key.
- Fixed bug where Error console constantly appeared by renaming preference from “Console Filter” to “Error Console Filter”
- Filters with huge numbers of mail will now act significantly faster.
You can still download Opera 9 if you don’t want to jump in and be a tester, which is completely understandable. Go Opera!
Will Opera ever allow RoboForm to be implemented? The wand doesn’t cut it.
Until they do or provide an equivalent I’m staying away.
Kinda on a side topic but still about Opera, is there a keyboard shortcut to open a link in a new tab when I click on it? Ex: In Firefox, if I ctrl-click a link it opens in a background tab and ctrl shift-click opens a link in a foreground tab. Does Opera have a similar shortcut?
Ed: Roboform does not support Opera and I haven’t seen any news that they are working on it.
Max: I am not able to test it right now but I believe the shortcut you are looking for is shift-click and ctrl-shift-click.

Yup, it works, thanks a lot Ryan.
ctrl-shift-click opens a link in a background tab and shift-click opens in a foreground tab.
I’m sorry. I had read a while back that Opera wouldn’t allow Roboform. Why would RoboForm not configure their software for use in Opera? In my ignorance I can’t comprehend that.
Found this…
the opera fanboys claim that roboform is a security “nightmare”

Found this…
Opera is closed to third party programs and “extensions” so roboform supporting it is not possible
Here:[fileforum.betanews.com]
Don’t know where they get this ‘fact’ however. I like Opera but have tried it with Wand & wasn’t happy. Back to Firefox (& Roboform) which gets better & better.
Yes, it is true that Opera doesn’t allow extensions but if there are enough requests for RoboForm then they might team up with them to figure out a solution.
By going through the Opera Forums I noticed there were [my.opera.com] about wanting RoboForm support. There was even [my.opera.com] that people started voting on who wanted it.

Thanks Ryan. I’ll add my two cents to that vote. By the way I visit Cybernet all through the day. Great work!
