I have installed Opera 10 as many. I did unistall it later and since when I click on an link from a mail, instead of the stock Opera, my HD opens up Explorer. Obviously a registry key has changed - but which one? I am running stock ROM (1.56). Anybody knows how to make the pre installed Opera the default for browsing?
Thank you
Have you tried opening Opera and just setting it as your default browser again?
Open Opera, go to Menu, Tools, Settings, Misc. Then check Set Opera as Default Browser... or something similar to that. That may fix it. Let us know.
Check this registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila\DefaultBrowserIsIE
Set to 0

I cannot find the sequence you describe! Opening Opera I find: Menu, Settings and no setting for default browser!

I cannot find the specific key!!! Would that be the problem? unistalling Opera, could it be that it deleted the key?
I searched through the whole registry and I can find it nowhere!
What do you suggest? can I add it?

Calm down. The guys above have now clue what they are talking about.
Opera 10 has no menu style like the previous versions.
You have to manipulate/enter the registry keys, but be carefull.
Up to now, there is no simple way to make Opera 10 the default.
But if you want to try (it is working):

No Basthet, they just took the time to read the request clearly.
The request is for help resetting the original opera 9.x to be the default browser.
Either solutions offered will achieve this.

Thanks m8 , I chose not to respond to a totally uncalled for response from someone who does not even know how to read.
Set opera to open at manila tab
I know, that if you want to set the built-in opera to open when you click on the icon on the manila internet tab, then go to the registry:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\: DEFBROWSER
and set there key
0 to "Opera Browser"
1 to "Windows\OperaL.exe"
And I think it should solve also your problem. I hope it helps...

Thanks for the critique. Next time, please read carefully before deciding to post about someone's lack of intelligence... then just don't post.
Thank you all - even those who cannot read! - my problem is that although when I click the icon in the manila internet tab, it correctly opens Opera, BUT when I click from within an outlook email containing a link, it opens IE - and this is what I want to change!

I was just thinking (I don't have Opera 9.5 or 9.7 installed at the moment, so I'm guessing). To set Opera as your default browser open it up and go to Settings, click on Advanced then scroll to the bottom and choose "Set Opera as default browser". Just to be safe, soft reset then try it. Trial and error... please report back.
This seems to give you what you are looking for. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3729890&postcount=3
I can't seem to figure this one out and search doesn't help.
After updating to ICS (Unrooted/Stock) I can no longer create bookmarks in Skyfire. Is or has anybody else experienced this? If so did you get it resolved? If you did, how did you do it?
I have already done a Factory Reset, reinstalled Skyfire too.
Thanks in advance!
[PLEASE DON'T PUSH DOLPHIN OR X,Y,Z BROWSER ON ME, I KNOW ABOUT THEM ALREADY AND I LIKE SKYFIRE AND THE QUESTION IS ABOUT SKYFIRE - THANK YOU!]

It's probably Skyfire not updated to work properly with ICS.
I had wondered this too.
I am unable to view attachment images/links in forum posts when viewing in the chrome browser. When i try to access the same page in another browser (Firefox), the attachments appears fine. I am not sure what the problem might be. I have AdBlock DISABLED. Also no other extension/plugin is active in the browser, to be causing the problem. Kindly suggest some remedial action. I am attaching screen shot of the problem below :

That's really weird. All I use is Google Chrome and I've never experienced that issue. In fact, I use Chrome on my Galaxy Tab 2 and don't have that issue either. Sorry, I have no suggestions to fix the issue either. All my plugins are enabled too.
Maybe someone can tell me what I'm doing wrong or if Facebook's editing interface is just garbage.
If I add a Comment to a post on FB and then have to backspace over what I've written to correct anything, it just plain hoses up the whole mess. The words or letters in some words, that I just backspaced over show up now at the end of the line I'm in. It's so bad I have to just give up trying to post and go to the PC to do it.
Boat
Dolphin
Next Browser
And others seem to have this same problem in any of the User Agents....
When I post something, I get this message at the top:
The string you entered for the image verification did not match what was displayed.
What image verification? There's only the reCAPTCHA thing at the bottom that doesn't work half the time. Maybe fix that, instead of displaying a correct message.
Hi,
are you posting in a web browser, or app? Mobile or desktop?
Do you always get that when you make a post?
And are you entering the correct captcha?

Hi. I have the same problem.
It happens while posting from Slimjet (chrome-based browser) and Firefox.
Everytime i do a captcha, the first time is ALWAYS wrong and it needs to be redone. Maybe the second time will be ok. The third time is sometimes ok. Is a wheel of fortune, dang it.

I post replies using browser on my mobile phone and everytime it asks for captcha verification. Please suggest any fix.
On Mozilla Firefox, the box of image verification is always found empty. So I am unable to reply any post
Kindly fix it for Firefox users.

Do you use adblock or 3rd party script blocker? I noticed sometimes these will block captcha.

I've checked and verified there is no AdBlocker or Script Blocker on my PC.
