Enable event sounds

If you would like to associate sounds to different events while using Opera, you can do so using Tools > Preferences > Advanced > Notifications. From the list of events, select the one for which you would like Opera to play a sound. Click the Choose... button and browse until you find the desired sound file. Repeat this for each event, and click OK.

Turning event sounds on/off will not affect system or multimedia sounds.

4. Select from the menu to paste information into a form

  • Opera can delete stored cookies: Tools > Preferences > Advanced > Cookies > Delete new cookies when exiting Opera
  • Opera can delete stored documents: Tools > Preferences > Advanced > History > Empty on exit

There are numerous start-up options for Opera, including Continue from last time, Continue saved sessions, Start with home page, and Start with blank page.
