2 Solutions:

1) Import opera.adr form Windows to Linux.
2) mozilla.org

Screw Kazaa - Get Limewire!

hhhhhmmmmmm ShareWare programs like that have "SpyWare" and such like that, so be careful, I don't know for Linux, but if you still use your Windows machine goto http://kazaalite.com or search google for Kazaa Lite, that doesn't have the Ads and Spyware.

That Kazaalite program has now become a fucking piece of adware like its spyware big brother.  Everytime I minimize the window about three ads pop up.  

I use LimeWire on Linux if I am looking for music.  LimeWire has a better selection of music that is coded over 128 kbps. Most users on the Kazaa thing are using the original spyware version of Kazaa which, unlike Kazaalie, limits the bitrate on MP# files to 128.  It is a cruddy tactic, by a cruddy program, for a cruddy operating system.  However, Kazaalite has a better selection of Divx movies than LimeWire.  On LimeWire, you can find some copies of some of the newer movies (and a lot of Sci-Fi    ), but if you are searching for the obscure stuff, you can forget about it.  

Speaking of Kazaa, what ever happened to that old command line program of Kazaa for Linux?  I downloaded it a few months back, but it didn't work due to a new interface or something.  Did anyone develop a newer version? If I could get a file sharing program like Kazaa for Linux, I could finally rid the $hitblows (p)OS filth from my harddrive forever.

oh right, i recognise that exact error, and what you need to do is...

come on! what are you talking about? "some stupid ass error"? i bet that you'd be bitching if it didn't work and you got NO error! people put error messages into their programs for a reason, you know, it's so that if YOU fucked up the install or if YOU don't have all the system requirements you can quote the error message and maybe somebody will be able to help you.

Of course this all falls on its arse if you choose to post complaints instead of requests for help...

I got $20 that says it is the "JavaRunTime" error message that everyone gets when they run LimeWire for the first time on Linux...
