      @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.
