Opera disabling extensions on its own is annoying...

@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.

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.
