      @andreivas maybe give Vivaldi a try instead? I love it. It has all the goodies we want in Opera. Well almost, but they're getting there. It's highly customizable.
      Very frequent updates, active community, Take a look, maybe you'll like it.

      Sorry to hear, that annoying issue keeps continuing to happen to you 😕

      You think you know, but you have no idea.

        Happened to me once recently. Didn't have any extensions before I got the notification and when I went into opera://extensions, I still didn't have any extensions (not under "disabled" or anywhere). So, I don't know what triggered the notification. There wasn't anything trying to sneak an extension into Opera, so I assumed it was just Opera being goofy/buggy.

              @oglena I have 51.0.2830.40 and it STILL disables them. I only have two extensions and one is Sticky Password and I can't auto log in to Opera to do this complaint, I have enable the extensions, log in, and then refind where this forum is. It doesn't automatically go back after the log in. But what gives with the disabling? I wonder if it's because I have FireFox also open? Or is it connected to the synchronization? Seems that it's a common enough problem they should be working on it. I may try Vivaldi. Firefox won't recognize ameritech.net emails sometimes and it sends me to AT&T log in which I have for home system but that's NOT my email and it wants me to change to AT&T.

                @randymartin It's probably related to the fact that you are using at least one extension not published on Opera's add-ons page.
                Chrome doesn't allow extensions that are not on its webstore, maybe Opera is following the same path?

                  @leocg I've had that problem only when I've uninstalled an extension from the chrome store

                    @leocg Good thought. Consider this. On my laptop, I have only 2 extensions: Stick Password and TinEye. SP has a supported browser choice dropdown and Opera is an option. Opera does not list SP. TE does not have supported browser drop down but it does have an add-on extension. My laptop ALWAYS (for the last several weeks) needs to have those extensions enabled. I get the message that a new extension has been added and is unknown and all the extensions are shut down.

                    My Desktop has the same 2 extension plus 5 others. It NEVER gets that warning and I NEVER have to enable my extensions.

                    Your thoughts?

                      @randymartin A little research I've done revealed that Chrome seems to do not allow extensions not listed on the add-ons store. I'm not sure about Opera's policy on the matter but I suppose it should be similar.

                      So I would guess that those non-listed extensions may be cause of the problem.

                            @leocg Sounds right except that one computer works and one does not. Same Opera, Same extensions. BTW, I do NOT use Chrome at all.

                              @randymartin And isn't reasonable for one to be able to FIND Opera's policy on these matters? I like Opera but their inter-personal support is non-existent.

                                They should work like avast!. They have developers regularly floating around forums checking info, feedback, suggestions and ideas and it works superbly. A lot of things can be spotted early this way.

                                  @rejzor Avast is paid or, at least, has a paid version, so they can afford the costs of doing it.

                                  Anyway, this topic was already addressed.

                                    I have been experiencing this problem the last three days - since I updated to the newer version of Opera. I am a very long time user of Opera and never had this problem before. I have only the following four extensions installed:

                                    Sticky Password
                                    AdBlock
                                    Bookmarks Import & Export
                                    Popup Blocker (lite)

                                    All four are disabled by Opera with the message in red as indicated above. I have to Enable each one daily.

                                    I hope there is a fix soon for this problem.
