I think I have the same question at Lazaross, and if I do Darken your answer didn't quite hit the nail on the spot, as I keep going there and haven't been able to figure it out.

Tab 1, Tab 2, Tab 3, Tab 4, Tab 5

If I and currently on Tab 1 and I switch to Tab 5. I then close Tab 5 I want it to go to Tab 4 instead of back to Tab 1. How do I do that? I can't seem to figure out how to do that.

I clicked the 'Open New Tab next to Active' option which doesn't sound like it did it, but it did.

I was about to post this same thread. Pleaaase. Its probably going to be the reason I don't use this browser over FF. Silly I know, but still.

Very good question. Ask your question here >> Opera browser. :)

I tried these settings: Cycle in tab bar order | Cycle without showing list >> Don't seems to work.

I clicked on the 'Close and Switch to next' but it just added it to "My Buttons". Now what or does it automatically work?

And a wee bit off-topic but how I can keep focus on my page rather than going to transfer when I'm downloading stuff?

you can drag it from "My buttons" to any of the toolbars in Opera

This is an off requested feature, but there is no way currently to change the behavior save using the new button to close a tab. Otherwise, the "Tabs" in Opera are actually MDI windows, and use Z-Index ordering just like windows in any OS do, that is when you close a program window, you see whatever is underneath that window regardless of the taskbar order.

It seems this ought to be configurable, but is not currently. The currently active feature request/wishlist thread is here:

http://my.opera.com/community/forums/topic.dml?id=202234

and you can see some of the discussions regarding it and the best effort hacks like the custom button there.

The solution: Install latest 9.5 snapshot build.

This build implements a much requested option for all you users switching from other browsers.

You can now get that Safari, Firefox, IE or <insert alternative browser of choice here> tab handling in Opera, too.

To take advantage of that, simply change Preferences > Advanced > Tabs > "When closing a tab"

to your desired behavior:

Activate the last active (default)

Activate the tab to the right

Active the first tab opened from closing tab

    • Bose QuietComfort Ultra Gen 2 headphones are down to lowest price in over a month

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Bose QuietComfort Ultra Gen 2 headphones are down to lowest price in over a month by Taras Buria Bose's second-gen QuietComfort Ultra headphones are premium over-ear headphones with noise cancellation, but right now, you can save 16%, thanks to a discount that brought the headphones to a new lowest price in over a month. While the general look and aesthetics remain unchanged compared to the previous gen, the Gen 2 features redesigned wear-detection sensors, which accurately pause your music the moment you take them off. Additionally, the headphones now support lossless audio via a direct USB-C wired connection, letting you enjoy uncompressed sound when plugged into your laptop or phone. There is also spatial audio support (works wirelessly) for a more immersive audio experience and improved noise cancellation, which makes the QuietComfort Ultra go-to headphones for many users on long flights or other scenarios when they need to isolate themselves from the surrounding noise. The QuietComfort Ultra (Gen 2) also features Bluetooth Multipoint for seamless switching between two devices at once. As for battery life, you get up to 30 hours on a single charge (up to 23 hours when using spatial audio). Besides good audio quality and noise cancellation, the headphones should be comfortable to wear, thanks to the lightweight 250-gram design and soft protein-leather ear pads. The QuietComfort Ultra Gen 2 are available in four colors, and all five are now available at the lowest price: Bose QuietComfort Ultra Bluetooth Headphones (2nd Gen) - $379 | 16% off on Amazon This Amazon deal is US-specific and not available in other regions unless specified.

      By fingletmein · Posted

      Keep in mind Intuit has lobbied like crazy to keep taxes complicated so they can continue to sell tax software. They also got caught hiding their legally mandated free version so they could release a second one that pushed countless people into charges they didn't need to pay to file. Intuit leads the charge on inventing problems so they can sell you the solution and disrespecting you in the process.
    • EA Sports UFC 6 review: Brutal, satisfying, and surprisingly accessible to newcomers

      By Figure 8 Dash · Posted

      Oddly, there was a time that UFC games were culturally relevant, largely because of the graphics and gameplay that was different than the norm. But it seems like as the sport grew in popularity, gaming outlets stopped talking about the games.
