[Opera-Linux] Buttons at qrz.com not working (was: Re: Problem with PDF files)

[Dick Kittrell]

Yes, Neil stated my problem exactly right!  I tried the suggestions to  
launch from a terminal window with various parameters following "opera" to  
no avail -- it would not launch and complained about "the opera binary not  
in the expected place". The only way I can launch opera is with the  
desktop icon, whose properties show "opera %u" as the launch command. In  
desperation I finally just downgraded to ver 9.63 with interesting  
results: the search button now works, but I did not mention before that  
the remaining (10) buttons on a bar just below "search" button were  
totally missing. One of those was the Q/A you tried.  (Maybe  
out-of-sight=out-of-mind?). That entire button bar is still missing!  I  
hope that doesn't get too far afield for this thread. Something is  
definitely wrpng with my settings, but I don't know how to find out.  
Thanks for any suggestions!!
