Furthermore, the Opera Mobile 11.5.2 for Android update contains a lot more bug fixes, as well as a mjor change in Opera's behaviour.
Basically, a new enable/disable option that would block (or not) pages from redirecting to themselves.

- Fixed problems with settings menu closing without user interaction; - Fixed long startup time on some devices; - Fixed problems with big Link accounts freezing Opera; - Fixed issue that prevented users from changing already stored credentials; - Fixed problems with cache being deleted at startup; - Fixed problems with no feedback given to the user when shortcut couldn't be added to home screen; - Fixed problems with star indication of bookmarked pages after device restart; - Fixed problems with download view not updated properly in some cases.
