How to Turn Off Opera Dragonfly?
Written by Vygantas Lipskas on June 9, 2008
I would like to give a small tip to Opera team. Please, add a feature to turn off developer tools by using “X” button in the right corner. I actually haven’t figured out yet how turn it off. Though remember that somehow I managed to do that in old builds.
Screenshot below:
Red line indicates the places where I was looking to turn this thing off. Ideas?
Edit: Solution (thanks to anonymous):
Type opera:config in the address bar, find “Developer Tools”, replace “Developer Tools URL” with the following:
https://dragonfly.opera.com/app/weekly/
Click “Save”. Restart Opera.

Same issue here.
CTRL+W closes Dragonfly when it’s in focus. Or go back up to where you turned it on, and there you see “close developertools”.
Hi Hans,
U are the man, thanks a lot!
I’ve just downloaded 9.5 and got Dragonfly stuck until I found this page by googling. There’s no obvious way to turn if off (who is going to think of Ctrl-W?) and the menu item which activated it- Tools/Advanced/Developer Tools was simply greyed out and couldn’t be clicked again.
Looks like something of a problem to me.
I am glad that you’ve solved your issue.
