I have no idea what happened, but GN doesn't do anything at all anymore when I click the links. Opening the links inside GN does work, but it's probably faster to copy the link and paste it in Opera. Links from other programs work fine when opening them straight to Opera, which has lead me to believe that this might be a bug in GN.

Any ideas?

If I had to guess, I'd say blame Opera (probably silently installed an update that broke stuff?). It's my favourite browser, but a real bitch to get to properly integrate with other programs. I have a wrapper script that launches it with "opera -nomail -newtab $(url)", maybe try it this way? Can't remember exactly why I put the "-newtab" in there however.

If you don't want to use a wrapper, setting ExternalBrowser in the ini file's "Advanced" section might work too, haven't tried it though, so no guarantees.

Code:

[Advanced]
ExternalBrowser="path/to/opera.exe -newtab"

That did it! Thank you very much.

Path must be without quotes:

Code:

[Advanced]
ExternalBrowser=c:\Program Files (x86)\Opera\opera.exe

Works properly with 389.
