Just downloaded opera 9.5 and it looks quite impressive but I have one problem, it can't open any pages telling me to make sure of the URL, my internet connection and so on. I'm using my P.C right now without any problem and have been doing so for a while without any problems.

I use firefox and occasionally safari, rarely internet explorer and have no issues whatsoever. So, any opera users please give me some pointers as to what could be the problem. Thanks.

@EMS06

Silly and basic as this may sound; are you sure that you haven't got a firewall blocking Opera?

It's just that it sounds a lot like that to me!

Might be worth opening up your firewall / internet security app and specifically including the opera application in the trusted applications list just to make sure.

@Cyco

that's just the thing that puzzles me. I've included opera to my trusted list but it doesn't open pages. Like I said, Firefox, Safari and Internet Explorer all open without a hitch so I thought maybe it could be something to do with Opera itself that I don't know about.

@tranced

No.

Yeah, I didn't think it'd be that easy...

Are you using Vista or XP?

Well, after a good few hours I went back and tried opera and it suddenly works fine. Now I have all 4 browsers (Opera, Safari, Internet Explorer and Firefox) and I can rate them from the best to the not so good.

1. Firefox- for me it is faster than the rest here and really easy to use.

2. Safari- a bit disappointed having read about it being fast but it is a joy to use, uncluttered and nicely laid out.

3. Opera-absolutely a beautiful browser, the layout is so good looking that it makes the other three look plain and dull. I was surprised by its slowness in execution though, I thought it was supposed to be faster than this. Maybe I'm being unfair since I've only been trying it out for a few hours but the first impressions are that it is slower than the above two.

4. Internet Explorer (7)- clumsy and unappealing. I'd go so far as to say a confused browser. In terms of speed it is not really different to the opera.
