I have the ZoneAlarm Pro firewall as well as a LinkSys router. During
many years of using that config with Opera, version 10 is the first to
cause ZAP to prompt me to allow "the Opera browser to accept
connections from the Internet". For years my ZAP pgm settings for
Opera have called for prompts in the case of both trusted and Internet
server use, but until now  I have never any of these prompts.

These prompts come sporadically, in bursts, and make no sense to me. I
always deny them and notice no ill effects from doing so.
