Turns out check "delete plug-in data" causes the same problem too,and it not only affects Noads Advanced also on other extensions like Adblock and No Google Search Redirect and Persistent Text and WOT...in short every extension I installed have the same problem.

chooseopera.com pointed me to http://www.opera.com/download/ and there I clicked the left button, "Download Opera 12.10 for Windows". Came to a page that served me the file Opera_Mobile_9.5_Beta_2.sis lol. I'm pretty sure that didn't work as intended.

Thank you, you finally forced not to use Opera in the corporate environment. Lack of support for ntlm, discontinue msi = killing opera in a corporate environment. Hi IE.

Since RC3: using Image Autosizer extension, images are off the screen when opening them

Since Opera 12: using Snap Links extensions, opening multiple links does not honor default zoom setting and they are opened with 100% zoom (It's a bug from Opera's Extension API (DSK-333113)

Would appreciate the fix

You're a troll but I'll drop a few facts for the interested readers.

The first Opera was released in 1995. Opera had gestures, an adblocker and a mail reader before other browsers even had a concept of extensions. Opera had tabs years before the Mozilla Foundation was even founded. Firefox was the last major browser to move their address bar below the tabs. Opera was the first browser to implement Speed Dial.

congratz!

Sadly still issues with gmail.com getting either that weird error or just taking to long time to load :/
It was reported as a comment to the RC4 ....

error 413, "Your client issued a request that was too large" is the error i sometimes get.

Opera 12.10 for Mac OS X International (Intel i386 + x86_64) works in 32 or 64 bits mode depending on your architecture, International (Intel) is running only in 32bits mode.

WOW THAT IS NICE. 6th November 2012, the day I dropped Opera for good after over 10 years of usage.

@Opera Desktopteam

I have found the reason why (the just released) Opera 12.10 "Clear private Data" deletes settings of extensions like ghostery, Noads Advanced, WOT, savefromnet etc. (manny Extensions = causes manny Pop-Up Tabs of the Extensions -> feels so Internet Explorer 6 like )

Edit: Wrong worth in -> opera:config#ClearPrivateDataDialog|CheckFlags is (default = without password & E-Mail Password) 514551 (but default should be 0 ) ! (Compared with Opera 12.02) -> Opera cleares a cache that should not been cleared

Could not import a PKCS#12 in a clean installation.

I had to install Opera 11.64 (from FileHippo), import the PKCS#12 and then upgrade to Opera 12.10.

Same here on macosx mountain lion latest release... I understand that not ALL sites display correctly on Opera (even if hard to accept) but that Gmail not even loads seems too much even for a >10 years opera user....

Same as RC4?

I think some people need to understand how all software companies work. Is Opera 12.10 better than Opera 12? Yes, MASSIVELY so... Therefore it's a fine release.

Sitting on Opera 11.6 is not going to do you any good, not just from a security standpoint...

Please can you explain, why do you stop building MSI packages? All my organizations (approx. 100 users) uses opera browser and I manage updating software through GPO policy, which work with MSI packages. Maybe it is bad idea?

jup, depending of selected options - Note: I had Delete passwords on ( -> 515575 ), now corrected with Opera 12.10 default setting 514551

but this must be the reason & you cann NOT permanently set it to 0 (original Opera 12.02 default)

Exactly, well said to bad the whiners are going to keep on whining because their pet bugs aren't fixed in this release. can't expect a bug free browser that's just not going to happen. I'm very impress with this release of opera

A pity the latest changes to gmail are very broken in Opera just before this release.

Trying to compose an e-mail, copy and paste etc is almost impossible.

Done, added a comment to the latest blog.

Many pages of regression reported on rc builds, and you release it as final build?
Gmail doesn't loads and you consider it a minor bug? Just the webmail more used on the web.
I don't understand.

Corporate gmail:
413. That’s an error.
Your client issued a request that was too large. That’s all we know.

SPDY, eh?

If disabling won't help - seems I have to uninstall Opera. First since 9.x.
Good Job!

DSK-376721 not fixed.
Image zooming on images smaller than screen resolution possible but improper.

Regression from Opera 12.02. Reported in 12.10 RC3 comments.
Must say, that represents the quality of releases Opera is heading towards.

JanGenTuesday, November 6, 2012 10:19:53 AM
I'm disappointed that:

- can't delete persistent storage in Preferences -> Storage -> Advanced -> Delete. Only Clear all works which is certainly something you don't want, because it reset all extensions.
Reported several times (and confirmed)
http://my.opera.com/desktopteam/blog/2012/10/24/hidpi-oex?startidx=50#comment98516571
- can't attach more then 1 file to email by dragging files to attachment field in M2
DSK-375588. This bugs severely limits Opera as an email client

Both Ubuntu 64. Both are clear regressions from earlier version of Opera.

Removing MSI support is a good joke, so Opera cannot be preinstalled using Group Policy - common way to have programs installed under Active directory environment, most offices

Opera auto-updated at home this morning. The countdown to my wife complaining she can't use Google Maps / YouTube / whatever has begun...
AeyricTuesday, November 6, 2012 10:28:25 AM
Hello,

After installation, I noticed that Opera Unite reappeared in the left panel, in between Widgets and Notes. It appeared not as an icon, but as plain text.

And in the bottom toolbar of the browser, between the Opera Link icon and the Turbo icon, it says "Opera Unite Disabled". That was not there prior to the upgrade.

Anyone noticed the same?

-Windows XP SP3-

Not confirmed.
Google Maps and YouTube work fine here. Maps feels faster then before.
