Same problem here, PIE now default after trying to install skyfire (before finding out theat it was not compatible )
Have used the search option in Opera:config and searched for favourite and browser etc etc and cannot find any options to set Opera back to default.
Anyone else have any suggestions?

reinstating Opera Mobile as a default browser
Tested and works as a charm
COPYASTE from http://discuss.pocketnow.com/showthread.php?t=25285
"You can actually reinstate Opera Mobile as the default browser (PIE would have been made the default browser if you had installed another browser such as Skyfire or Iris, and uninstalled them subsequently).
Launch Opera Mobile manually via Start Menu > Programs. In the address bar, enter "opera:config" and go to the page. The "Preferences Editor" page will be shown. Scroll down until you see "Install". Tap on it to expand the section. Enable the tickbox for "Browser First Time Launch", then tap "Save".
You have now reinstated Opera Mobile as the default browser.

Ahhh Now I understand!!! Use Opera Always=Default
I've have been frustrated that Opera only appeared when I used the TF3d Browser interface but if I clicked on a link in email it would launch PIE (worthless in current interation -IMHO)... now using this tip when I click on a link in email it uses Opera -- Life is now good and I can die a happy man!

1.18 WWW-Asia Opera keeps defaulting to www.htc.com

For some reason whenever I launch Opera from TF3D it defaults to the htc homepage. Launching Opera from the programs menu works fine.
How can I change the parameters TF3D passes on to Opera to make it default to the regular Opera default page?

Anyone? I would really like to change the homepage TF3D refers Opera to...

I am having this same problem with 1.18 also

I believe I have solved this problem...Using Total Commander Go to Application Data/Manilla and delete the two xml files there "InternetPortal.xml and InternetPortal-en-AU.xml"

How to change default browser?

I installed Opera 10 beta 2, and had some font problems.
So, I'd uninstall it - since then, the default browser changed to IE instead Opera 9.7.
How can I change the default browser to Opera again?

start opera, type in the address bar: opera:config (without http or www). There you'll find an option to make opera your default browser again (scroll down the list and somewhere you will find this option).

I'd tried that but I can't change from Opera config the default internet web browser.
I want to slide to the Internet tab and then tap Launch Browser and open Opera. Now when i do this ( slide to the Internet tab and then tap Launch Browser) IE is open instead of Opera.
How can I change it back - tap Launch Browser and open Opera? ???

When you have WinMo 6.5, do the following:
start - scroll down untill you find the icon which says Opera Browser - click it and it will open Opera, then perform as stated in my first answer. After you have done that you should be able to go to internettab and tap browser and Opera will be launched.

I did exactly your instruction :
opera:config
User Prefs
Default Browser First run - Mark v
save
exit
It doesn't work. Tap Launch - get IE ...
Another way:
Opera
Setting
Advanced
Set Opera default browser - mark v
exit
And again, Tap Launch - get IE ...
So, I think something is worng because Uninstalling Opera 10 Beta 2.
Some registery things can help to change it (realy) back? ???

did you perform a soft reset after the changes? If not, give it a try, normally this solution should work.

hi
You just need to check in opera option that It's the default browser.
after when You launch internet, You will have opera instead of IE
i try and it works

i find the registry key :
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\ DEFBROWSER
if You need more details, just ask

I had the exact same problem. I fixed it by going into Opera then unticking the default box saving then exiting Opera and opening it back up and ticking the box again.

Updating Google maps and Opera problems

I installed the latest Google maps over my existing version, but now the map search from the bottom slide menu no longer works. I also installed Opera 10, but did not overwrite the existing version (because its a beta) and the bottom slide menu still launched Opera 9.
I'm guessing I need to edit something, but can't find what, even after a couple of hours on Google.

AFAIK, if you invoke internet using the bottom slide tab (of TF) it defaults to opera 9 because of its setting in the registry. I've tried to change the default browser to Opera10 but encountered several instabilities. You'll have to invoke Opera 10 from the programs menu.
Can you invoke google maps from the programs menu? If you can, then google maps is working fine, regardless of what browser application.

As a workaround I have added Opera 10 as a custom option in the registry for the internet widget (like YouTube), so I can select it from the in internet widget page. Opera 10 is the default browser launched by other programs, but I still can't find a way of launching Opera 10 by touching the "Launch Browser" globe in the internet widget, or from any of the bookmarks in the internet widget.
Google Maps works fine when run from the Program Menu, but the Maps Search widget no longer works.

Try changing this registry:
HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila2D\InternetWidget\OperaEXEfile.
Edit the contents of <OperaEXEfile> and point to Opera10.exe location. (the default is \windows\operaL.exe)

Thanks!
I didn't have that key in the registry, otherwise I would have already tried it. I added the OperaEXEfile string and it works. Can you have a quick look through your registry and see if there is one for Google maps, please?

Unfortunately, the "Map Search" was not featured in this part of the world. I installed the Google Map application and invoke it via the Programs tab, which automatically brings up the browser. It works equally fine.

WM 6.5, HTC Sense 2.5 Problems setting quick links default browser to opera.

Anyone have an idea on how to change the quick links (Home page bookmarks) default browser to Opera? I already changes the registry key for default browser is IE to 0, and other tweaks I could get my hands on.
But the home page quick links still open with PIE, not opera.
I guess something else controls how they open. Any advise would be much appreciated. I already searched around the forums but no response.
Thanks

open up opera browser - in settings switch default browser to off, save, close app, open opera again and in settings enable as default browser.

Thanks Sean but I have sorted it.
Great news.. I have just installed the updated V_jamrecords 16 icon cab.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=583638
and it seems to have sorted the problem. I can now launch bookmarks in opera from quick links.
Not sure if it is a tweak on the updated cab or that it has just cleared my cache and kicked out the old PIE url.
but it works guys..chuffed.

the joy was short lived as unlike with the original 16 icon cab I cannot delete icons 10 - 16 without tweaking the reg. anyone help me as the new version seems to be not as friendly as the previous one.
