opera browser on slack 8

i have opera and cannot close a couple of web pages, keep poping up again when i try to close. i have clicked on windows and selected close all, but it will not clear the webpages of the screen.

Does this happen only once you've opened Opera, or is it like this from the moment you type 'startx'?

I don't mean to be rude, and I'm not joking, but check your background image. Has someone played a joke on you by taking a screenshot of these webpages and then set them to your background image? What happens when you access the internet with othe browsers?

You can go into preferences and set it to not accept third party cookies and to refuse pop up windows.............................have not had a problem yet.
