    I think the view source function has been disabled from the site side. So you need to use the browsers built in web developers tools to view the source.

    Hooray! Got it. With Opera 11.61, on main menu, View, Developers Tools, Source.

    Here is another one:
    flP.setClip({url:'http://aquaristik-tv.de/er-xenos-anderes.flv', duration:0});

    so link is:

    OK. Went back to Firefox and found that Ctrl+U opens source code, and there it is as well.


    The long way is Tools, Web Developer, Page Source.

    But I must agree with Rory. Opera is a lot faster. Firefox battled to open this page. Retried 3 times, gave up, went to Home page and opened it from there again. In the meantime I opened Opera as well and got the page immediately. So looks like I am in for a learning curve on Opera.

    That is why people hate switching browsers. It is not that the new browser sucks, it is the fact that you must learn its ways from scratch. Once you are thru it, it is worth it. I just acclimatised to Firefox from IE, now I must learn Opera. Ag tog!

    Don't worry. You've made 2 mistakes but once you learn Opera you won't have and wont want to bother with other browsers :p

    It's pretty easy to use. ctrl-t or the big + at the top to open a new tab. You can drag a tab on top of another one to create a tab group once you've got a whole bunch open. One extension I can't live without is open-in-background-with-long-press. If you're on a page and want to open a page in a new tab in the background you just "long click" it. Otherwise holding ctrl-shift and clicking stuff will open it in the background. Also run ad sweep, facebook ad blocker, remove gmail ads, etc. Youtube downloader is awesome. It just adds a download button under the videos on youtube.

    Will look for it. Already irritated with right click and then third from top click. How do you 'long click'? I take it that there is a link on the page you are on, that you 'long click'.

    Will look for this as well.

    Yip it's pretty much just a shortcut to right click and the third option. It's about 1 second.

    Long Click is so cool! Set for 650ms, and you can adjust to what you like. Just click and hold on the link. A circle appear when it activates and open the page in a new tab, but keeping you on the page you are, ie opens in background.

    Cool. Now for You-tube thingy...
