Changes in Opera 9.50 Build 9594 Alpha:
New stuff
* Layout width detection for thumbnails
* New “logical searching” code — this means that inline find is now practically instant even on very long pages
* The Feeds toolbar got a new button to check for updates
* Added “Make Readable” action. Currently, it's not available through any menu, toolbar, or keyboard shortcut, but it's possible to bind it manually. How it works: select some text on the page that is hard to read because the font size is too small, then activate the action. The page will automatically zoom up so that the text becomes readable
* Added support for pointer-events="boundingBox" in SVG
* It is now possible to use an SVG image in an IMG element as well as specify one as a background image in CSS
* Improved performance of JS Date.getX methods

This is having problem with my firewall as it seems to be blocking gmail. I can open it in IE7 tho.
Also it won't remember the last directory you download your file, thus you need to manually change it, and saving picture files will be listed in the transfer list, which I thought was fixed in 9.2x
Need to go rant at Opera's site. BBL

u need to the setting page there,
highlight the default there & delete it, done.
