I installed linux-opera, and I guess I made a mistake by opening it the

now only open the browser as root, and when I do I get this message:
opera: $HOME set to /root. Use -personaldir if you do not want to use
/root/.opera/
Can someone give me a heads up on how to fix this, as the above message is a
mystery to me.
Most likely, it is trying to use /root/.opera for your profile and is
crashing early in the startup because the regular user can't write
there. I would save any bookmarks or other useful items and then
delete the folder. I haven't run into this in FreeBSD but you can get
similar problems in Windows if a global profile is created in
C:\Program Files\Opera by an administrator.
That's interesting. The problem is that there is no /root/.opera
folder. As a matter of fact there doesn't seem to be any folders at all
that refer to the linux-opera browser, in my /home/user directory, or
anywhere else. So I have no idea where the program is storing the
profile info.
