@KingKusuo Sometimes they don't make public some versions found at their FTP server, I guess. https://get.geo.opera.com/ftp/pub/opera_gx/

Same problem. Doesn't matter if you are on main page or person's page. Clicking story always redirects to person's instagram page.

I deleted all cookies and logged in again but not working for some reason. (I am not using sidebar extension)

@KingKusuo Do stories still work for you? Mine stopped working again 25 days ago and I still can't view any Instagram story. And this persisted across different versions of GX.

@LynXProdigy One day I'm able to view the stories, and the next day they are unavailable again, for weeks. Is this supposed to be a badly-executed A/B test?

Anything? It's been happening to me forever now... Can't see stories on any browser (Tried Edge, Explorer and Opera GX). Doesn't work on the app from Microsoft Store either...

I imagine it's some problem with instagram itself, right?

@Alepe The problem was fixed after some updates to the GX. Maybe it's related to some privacy add-ons like LocalCDN, not sure, but it's working fine for me for at least two months.

Reactivated my old account just to check on this thread. I also can't view stories when I'm on my computer, no matter which browser I use.

Okay, guys! I found this topic when I have the same problem, and that's the solution, that helped me and with chance 99% will help you too!

Problem is that we need to reinstall libffmpeg library for Opera. Users that have downloaded Opera from snap install opera doesn't have our problems.

So, the first solutions is to reinstall Opera through command bellow:
snap install opera

If not or you don't wanna use snap, just make this steps:

We need package "opera-ffmpeg-codecs" from Arch Linux's repo.

Download an archive, extract it and take file "libffmpeg.so"
Move "libffmpeg.so" file to "/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/opera/" and confirm replacement of old file version.

cd ~/Downloads
tar xf opera-ffmpeg-codecs-*.tar.xz usr/lib/opera/lib_extra/libffmpeg.so -O > libffmpeg.so
sudo mv -f libffmpeg.so /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/opera/
rm opera-ffmpeg-codecs-*.tar.xz

Archive file name will be another. Don't just copy paste this, take an attention to the commands)
