Default Transitioning FF - Opera - niggles ....

Certain websites have been causing me progressively more issues when
using FF (2.0.0.20). *I noted in another thread that someone was
running Opera 10.63 so I installed that, and configured it to
hopefully do my bidding.

Unfortunately, there are two areas where I cannot for the life of me
get it to replicate the functionality I have with FF:

1. *When I go to log on to certain sites, FF offers a drop-down
selection of my logon usernames if I click in the empty username box.
Not just autocomplete (although it does that too) - a dropdown list.
Not Opera - I have to type in the full username each time.

2. *Remembering visited links - I use these as a marker to show where
I am up to in (say) browsing a category in fleabay. *With FF that
marker is there next time I visit. *WIth Opera, it dies with the
session.

Nothing at the Opera site helped, nor did "about: config" in the
address bar - that really only gave the Tools - Preferences
parameters via a different front-end.

Can anyone familiar with the inner workings of Opera point me in the
right direction?


did you post your question at the Opera's User Group website?
