Its either a setting in Opera or Apex. Stock Home button hold goes to Google Search.
Try going into setting> application and look for Opera and scroll down. Tap on "clear default" button. That should do it.

EDIT: This has been resolved, at the expense of my own ignorance and embarrassment! Thanks for the help, folks.
For whatever reason, all of a sudden, I can't seem to long press on any icons or on the wall itself on my ADW Launcher home screens. So I can't move or delete icons or widgets nor add any new widgets and etc. from that "add" menu. However, I can long press in the app drawer and in folders, and basically anywhere in the phone except for the home screen.
I've tried clearing cache, reverting back to stock launcher (where I can long press fine anywhere), resetting ADW, and rebooting my phone, etc. Nothing seems to fix it. Holding down on an icon will just result in the orange highlight staying on indefinitely.
Clearly it's an issue with ADW, but has anyone experienced this?
did you unlock adw in the menu? you may have locked the desktop.

Download "Home Switcher" from the Market (free). Open it, then hit "Clear Default" on the bottom. It'll bring you to your current launcher's system setting menu, then just hit "Clear defaults" near the bottom. Next time you hit your Home key, it'll ask what launcher you want; pick and choose and choose to make it default or not.
Hope that helps.

Or Menu -> [ADW Options -> Phone Settings (if using ADW) ] Applications -> Manage Applications -> Go to your launcher -> clear defaults
^^ If you know what launcher, you should anyways.

nevermind. problem solved.
to unlock/lock the desktop...simply click the settings button when on the home screen (the 2nd from the left on mytouch 4g) and then click "more" and then lock/unlock desktop.
Hello, I have tried searching with no luck. I currently have Zeam installed and would like to somehow make a shortcut to the stock B&N launcher, so I can switch between the two quick. I know there is home switcher, but I don't want to have to access a separate program to switch home screens. I want to get to it from the zeam home screen. Thanks in advance.
I don't think you can do that unless you use home switcher.

If you have SoftKeys installed, you can set different homes for the hardware N button and the SoftKeys home button. I have mine set so that the SoftKeys home button takes me to the B&N stock home, and the hardware N button takes me to Zeam.

I also use softkeys. Currently I'm set up so that a single press of the N button brings up softkeys. A short press on the softkeys home key takes me to Zeam and a long press takes me to the B&N launcher. Also, a quick double tap of the N button will take me straight to Zeam.
Like one of the other posters said, I don't think that there's an elegant way to place a shortcut on the Zeam home screen. A more "hackish" solution would be to remove the default action for your N button press. That way when you press the N button, it will prompt you to choose either B&N or Zeam.
how To get to this screen mind to teach me pls thanks
you can either pinch to zoom out, or touch menu soft key and select edit
I think it also depends on what launcher you're using.
TouchWiz has that option if you press your settings button on your home screen and press Edit. TouchWiz 'edits' pages like that.
I know LauncherPro has that sort of screen by pressing the home button.

thanks brother I am using touch wiz
Whenever I click my home button, it'll take me to my app drawer if I left it open. Otherwise, it takes me home. Any way to get around that without a ROM? Is this even the default behavior?
Also, the back button doesn't close the app drawer, only the home button does. Once again, is this normal?
Thanks!
Its normal. I'm not sure but one of the ROMs changes this behavior I believe. Read through the features.

This has to do with the launcher
On custom launchers like nova, it let's you choose what action the home button performs
