Because those are the only options available.

Thank you for your help burnout426. As an FYI the download folder for the none-admin ID is set to that ID's download directory at "C:\Users%username%\Downloads," but I have also enabled "Ask where to save each file before downloading." So I always get prompted for the file location. I never save anything in "C:\Users%username%\Downloads" directory, Instead I have a data partition with multiple directories so I can back up my data easily. The none-admin ID has read/write access to the paths that contain none-sensitive data and it is able to save files to those locations just fine. I tried your suggestion of running the latest version of opera.exe instead of the launcher.exe and the behavior is exactly the same.

@leocg that is unfortunate.

See https://forums.opera.com/topic/23068/instructions-on-posting-about-problems-in-opera-for-computers Also include information about your hardware. Facebook videos play fine here

Who mentioned a fix? I was just saying that the problem also happens here.

I use the developer version, maybe that's why it has been gone since a while for me. Nope, I don't know the reason but I think it juts became kinda useless.

Using stable opera I still have the problem if the builtin adblock is enabled, but not if the adblock is off - the sites stay visible for several seconds longer today, but disappear. Using opera beta 60.0.3255.8 there is no problem at all.

yep, its set, thats my concern

@romeucapelasa i dunno if this will help.. but if ya got Mouse Gestures enabled - try disable/uncheck

If you make sure you use Menu > Exit (or Ctrl-Shift-X) then Opera will remember everything itself. If you close each window separately with the X in the corner, then only the last one is remembered.

It behaves right in google chrome, yandex, vivaldi, firefox... etc, I dont know why it's not fixed in opera. I gave you the sites you could check it out for these persian sites. just look at drop down menus. check these sites: www.time.ir www.varzesh3.com I hope this annoying Bug gets fixed.

China does not allow Opera's VPN, so you will not be able to enable it there.

@epop11rt3 when ya get time lets double check to make sure that (Hardware acceleration) is Enabled and to make sure your GPU is not black listed.. we wanna make sure the words (Hardware accelerated) appear next to most of the items (like in the below Example).. Note - If you see that the (Use hardware acceleration when available) option is already enabled but your GPU setting shows that acceleration is unavailable = Your Gpu may be black listed.. So all ya need to do is - in the address bar open opera://gpu Look @ the 1st heading called - (Graphics Feature Status) - under that heading ya will see items like these.. Example (Graphics Feature Status) Canvas: Hardware accelerated Flash: Hardware accelerated Flash Stage3D: Hardware accelerated Flash Stage3D Baseline profile: Hardware accelerated Compositing: Hardware accelerated Multiple Raster Threads: Force enabled Native GpuMemoryBuffers: Hardware accelerated Rasterization: Hardware accelerated Surface Synchronization: Enabled Video Decode: Hardware accelerated WebGL: Hardware accelerated WebGL2: Hardware accelerated take a snapshot of (Graphics Feature Status and the items) is all ya need and post it for us to see.. then check down @ the bottom of that same page also for the heading called - (Log Messages) to see if n e errors or messages appear/show up.. Note - before take 'n the screen shot make sure that (Use Hardware Acceleration when available) is Enabled in the Opera Settings.. Note - Unfortunately, hardware acceleration can't help with buffering (this has to do with your internet connection) does the freeze happen right after try 'n to buffer..

I use this: chrome://startpage/activity when that happens. That should bring back the tabs icon. Just keep in mind that android tabs may not show up right away due to sync's horrendous track record, but they will show up.
