On older versions of Opera, there was an option to disable sounds on a webpage.
This was present on Opera 12.16 and I had used it.
Now, I have Opera 12.17 and lost all my settings due to a reinstall.
How can I disable the sound on this specific version?
I know this is a very ancient version of Opera, but I must use it.
Other browsers cause problems with my graphic card (locking it at 400mhz) or burn my memory (looking at you Google Chrome!) which makes this version of Opera the only one I can use.
This is because Facebook is SOOOOOOOOOOOO slow that is nearly useless.
It takes around 20s-3h to open a webpage!
And everytime I receive a message, Opera uses 25% of my CPU.
Disabling the sound helps to ease the CPU a little.
I use Facebook A LOT!
If there is any way to disable the sound, I will be VERY happy!
(My comment isn't an answer for what you ask. However, I had the same problem with Opera 12.17 and Facebook. More than 30s loading time. I modified my
..\Opera\profile\override.ini
and deleted all entries regarding [www.facebook.com]. After that it loads instantly. please try that and report back – nixda – 2014-12-14T13:53:01.010@nixda HOLY MOTHER OF GOD!!! It works!!! Thank you so much!!! Facebook now takes 2 seconds to load everytime!!! I don't know if this makes any difference but I have installed Opera in a ramdisk (using ImDisk, http://reboot.pro/files/file/284-imdisk-toolkit/) as an USB installation and I changed the file

instead. Instead of simply deleting the lines, I have commented them (lines 691 and 692). And IT WORKS!!! Thank you so much!!!
