Who needs that memory hogging Fox ?! I'm falling in love with Opera.

 

[devilhead_satish]

Right you are. Now with RTF i have no reason at all to use Mozilla. Though it still has to be improved, this is just a tech preview.

well on this ocassion opera 9.0 gives more speed than opera 8.0

just try it

 

[busyanuj]

it had to come.
Opera 8.50 sure is buggy, it hangs while accessing gmail and many other sites, no wonder Opera 9 beta has been released.

 

[expertno.1]

hmmmm

one thing sad thoguh

couldn't overwrite opera 9 over opera 8

but i am using both

ok i want to import cookies from opera 8 to opera 9

is there a way ?

p.s i have already imported the bookmarks

 

[Sourabh]

What do you mean to say? cant overwrite?

Close opera before starting the new setup.

 

[expertno.1]

yeah thast the problem

my cookies will go na
my caches
my mail setups

i am using both opera 8 and opera 9 at present

i want to copy all the chaches cookies and bookmars from 8 to 9

 

[Sourabh]

What are you talking about expert? Hope I am not missing something.

I still have got all my cookies, passwords, mail setup, bookmarks, customized personal bar intact. I dont this this version is any different. Just Close Opera and start the installation and install it in the same directory as before. Atleast that worked for me.

 

[shivaranjan.b]

Whats the Answer?

 

[Sreekanth V]

Right Opera in Linux hogs more memory.
But who want to use those memory hogging Linux!
I have only 128 mb ram and Windows XP works faster than linux in my system. I am going to delete the linux partitions completely.
Opera works fine with Windows (in 128mb ram itself) ,than FF.
BTW , I am waiting egerly for the full relese of Opera 9.
