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

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 quite a few postings about wanting RoboForm support. There was even this post that people started voting on who wanted it. -Ryan

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.
