@elephantitis Turn off "Enable tab scrolling when many tabs are open" in the settings (User interface)
I have the same experience as spiritwind: first click (on pause) in a youtube video (pauses the video and) opens a new window. After that everything works as expected (ie no new windows when clicking).
Not sure when it started as I only watch youtube videos rarely on this computer. My opera version is a bit older than krebso's
Linux Mint 21.2 Cinnamon
Opera 106.0.4998.52 (installed from deb)
@entomashadoll For me the difficult part is getting the libffmpeg-file.
https://github.com/Ld-Hagen/fix-opera-linux-ffmpeg-widevine has a script doing it all for you; get the ligffmpeg and copy it to the right lcoation. You run it every time you update opera. Or you could try the snap-version (as wonghow suggests) or the flatpack-version. Mint prefers flatpaks to snaps, but my experience with the opera flatpak was not good.
As long as you make a timeshift snapshot before changing anything you can always go back
Try sudo apt-get remove opera or sudo apt-get purge opera in the terminal; "opera" may be opera-stable.
Make a timeshift image before removing opera in case you break something and need to revert.
@yakuzakyuu Please do not consider this to be an expert's answer:
When I google your "error message" I read that "N" is for "notice" and may be ignored. Still, it is annoying and I eventually end up here: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/questions/n-missing-signed-by-in-the-sources-list-5-entry-for-http-mirrors-digitalocean-com-ubuntu
Maybe try to see if that fixes it?

I am still on mint 21.3, using opera 112.0.5197.53- here it seems that libglib 2.0-0 is installable.
Try sudo apt-get install libglib2.0-0
@kauazn08 Did you try the solutions given in https://forums.opera.com/topic/72349/compilation-discussions-on-problems-playing-videos-on-linux/37?

@sorenfeodor A version for chromium 125 can be found on https://github.com/Ld-Hagen/fix-opera-linux-ffmpeg-widevine/releases I haven't tested it yet. I expect that also means that Hagen's script will work.
The newest version (111?) of opera stable requires a newer version of libffmpeg.so (corresponding to chromium 125), a version which I cannot find - I've looked all the usual places. So be careful about updating

@entomashadoll If nobody else provides a useful answer, then I would suggest you try a newer version of opera. There are ways of fixing the "videos won't work"-problem; they are described in this forum. They work nicely for me (most recent linux mint, cinnamon). Maybe a newer opera fixes your problem?
But please use timeshift before installing a new opera; this will make it easy to go back to your old opera if the new one cannot fix your download-issues and/or you cannot fix the video-problem.
