In Opera. type in the address bar "about:config" and go through the settings, there is a setting for number of tabs. Change it & save.

Open and edit "\windows\Opera9\opera.ini"
Find and change "Maximum Allowed Tabs" and set it to something else(I use 9).
Save changes and softreset.

You can always copy opera.ini to a SD card and make the changes on a PC, and then put it back.
But i use Total Commander(CE) to asociate .ini files to pocketword and make the change on the device.

Soft reset (restart the phone). Opera doesn't actually exit when you choose exit, it remains in the bachground.

For some reason I had to edit my opera.ini file.
After using "about:config" and saving the changes I made a softreset, but it was still set to 2. Maybe it depends on the ROM in use.
My ROM is the Danish 1.39.403.2.

I had the same problem. You have to press the enter key on the onscreen keyboard after you entered a new number of tabs. and then press save. If you don't do this it will stay on max 2 tabs.

Open and edit "\windows\Opera9\opera.ini",
There should be an entry at the bottom called:
Code:
Home
URL=XXXXXXXXXX
Change that.
