Hello,
I am using Opera 66.0.3515.36 (latest as of today).
When I try to download a file shared with me on web whatsapp, first file after running opera downloads fine. If I do not exit and re-start opera second file fails.
Fails here means: I see a popup bottom left saying file downloaded, but it is not actually downloaded. I cannot see it in Downloads list. File does not exists on my computer if I search for it.
As suggested, I have tested all extensions disabled and result is same.
I can provide additional information is needed.
Thanks & regards,
Ertan -

I could not find any solution or any suggestion.
What I find more usable is to use Opera's WhatsApp integration on left side panel. It works to reload that panel for a second file download.

I had the issue on other sites. Root cause was "Automatic downloads" disabled.

Hello,
What setting is that?
I believe that setting closed Opera would ask us a location using a save file dialog for file to download, wouldn't it?
Thanks & Regards,

I confirm that I have no second download problem after removing web.whatsapp.com site from block list above.
