>Description:
The www/linux-opera port got updated to using the brand new 6.0TP2 which has several issues including
  - some JavaScript breakage
  - bad interaction with proxies/junkbuster ("hanging" connections)
  - sends you sometimes to an old URL when entering a new one
  - will print the HTML code instead of rendering it

The previous version was *much* more stable.

I suggest backing out the new version and revertering to the latest version from 5.x. The version 6.0TP2
could be provided by a separate port, e.g. www/linux-opera6.
>How-To-Repeat:
Update Opera from ports, try to use it more than 5 minutes.
>Fix:
Downgrade to 5.x
