Just a slight warning that Opera 8333 (linked above) is actually a weekly build
http://my.opera.com/desktopteam/
So its basically more beta than opera's normal beta. Most of the weeklies are fine (I tried a couple), but some have had fairly major bugs

I'm totally not getting this widget thing, (along with the incorporation of a "mobile AJAX framework") its apparently part of some masterplan to make your browser "a platform for applications". Means nowt to me and all the widgets so far are a bit gay.


@tempestv I think you should be able to set this up in tools, preferences, advanced, shortcuts, mouse setup, edit,
on mine i can see mouse button 6,7 its probably those
the changing of mouse and keyboard settings isn't that intuitiive, but a bit of trial and error should get you there

Download the mouseware program for your mouse. :)

I actually had it installed- in fact that's how I fixed the problem- I remaped the button to the keystroke Alt+left arrow. I messed around in the prefrences enough, so I found another way not involving opera.

always liked opera better than firefox, but alot of people have never tried it.

I like it way better now that I have mouse problems sorted out.
