      Not only "Warn on closing window with multiple tabs" doesn't work any more, but "Warn on quitting Opera with multiple tabs open" doesn't work either. I tried disabling one only, then the other only. That doesn't work. I am running Windows 7 Pro. I have around 200 tabs open, but that hasn't been a problem before. I still get everything to load when I close then open Opera again.

        Yeah, this issue appeared to me too after the last update a few days back. I also immediately checked if the settings were OK, and they were; Opera is supposed to warn me if I try to close several tabs at the same time, but it doesn't.

        I found a site which suggested the following solution:


        1. Launch Opera web browser and type opera://flags in addressbar and press Enter. It'll open the hidden secret advanced configuration page called "Experiments".

        2. Now click inside "Search flags" text box and type warn. It'll show following option in the result:

        Warn on closing browser window with multiple tabs
        If enabled, browser will ask for confirmation when closing window with more than one open tab. – Mac, Windows, Linux
        #warn-on-closing-multiple-tabs

        1. If you want to permanently enable the new warning or confirmation message on closing multiple tabs, select "Enabled" from the drop-down box.
          If you want to permanently disable the new warning or confirmation message on closing multiple tabs so that no one can enable/disable it using Opera Settings, select "Disabled" from the drop-down box.

        2. Opera will ask you to restart the browser. Click on "Relaunch now" button to restart Opera.


        This solution did not solve the issue, though. But at least you now know you're not alone with your problem. Let's hope someone who knows about these issues finds this thread soon.

            Thank you taccado and temkem for posting on this issue. I sent a bug report to Opera a few days ago. Let's see if they do anything about it. I did try taccado's solution and it didn't work for me either.

                Opera fixed the problem the last day or two. I was using version 62.0.3331.72 when that happened.

                  Could you point me to where the fix is documented? I'm not sure why it still doesn't work for me.

                    @basemodeldaytona It's seems to have been fixed in Opera developer 64: https://blogs.opera.com/desktop/2019/07/opera-64-0-3388-0-developer-update/

                    Not sure if it was already backported to beta and stable

                      @leocg there is version 62.0.3331.109 on portableapps.com. I replaced my installed opera with that one and the bug has gone.

                          It still works normally. Have you reviewed it disabled by the "Don't warn me again" feature? I think the problem is here!

                            @gamalaptop Yes, now it works again, thanks to the recent update. The issue is resolved. But when I posted my original comment it didn't work.
