I just wonder why shortly before this version was released version 85.0.4341.75, which so far is not in the changelog 85?

Is the update immediately for all systems including linux or is it only for windows? because I do not see such information.

@adam1709: available to all systems. Got a slight delay with updating linux repositories. Should be live now.

@adam1709: 85.0.4341.75 version includes fix for latest chromium 0-day (CVE-2022-1364). Was released to push it faster to all users. Changelog for 85 version updated to include this information.

Regarding the url bar drop down menu:
Bookmarks should be the first, then history, and search as the last one.
Is it possible to change the order in the settings, or turn off some of the categories (like search)?

I installed Opera 86.0.4363.23, but it doesn't open and gives a warning:
"Unable to open user profile directory,
because you do not have the necessary permissions.
You may want to contact the administrator of this
machine."

So I reinstalled Opera 85.0.4341.18, wich installed and
opened without giving any warning.

If I do not have the necessary permissions,
why Opera 85.0.4341.18 can be installed, and why not
Opera 86.0.4363.23 ?

What shall I do?
Thanks in advance for a fix recommendation.

@caplanus hey, we are currently investigating this issue. What type of installation you have used. And does your user account have admin privileges?

Opera 86.0.4363.23 first was installed as a automatic Opera update.
After the issue I downloaded “Opera Standalone Offline Installer” from
www.opera.com/download/get/?partner=www&opsys=Windows
wich gave the same issue.

Yes, my user account has admin privileges.

@caplanus could you answer following questions:

• which version of operating system you have (please run winver from start menu)?
• which type of installation you have? all users/single user/USB
• where is located your installation directory?
• where is located your profile directory?

Does it also happen on version 85.0.4341.75 as you mention 85.0.4341.18 in your previous comments. Can you try installer from https://get.opera.com/pub/opera/desktop/85.0.4341.75/win/ ?

Yes it happened also on version 85.0.4341.60 and 85.0.4341.75

Operating system: Windows 8 Pro 32 bit

Installation directory: C:\Users\CP\AppData\Local\Programs\Opera

Type of installation: I am not sure,
once the install process was asking for type of installation as all users/single user.
It does not ask anymore and installs automatically.

When will the annoying bug with big search favicons finally be fixed?

Hi I have the latest version 86.0.4363.23, on Ubuntu (Linux) 18.04, and until yesterday I had the latest version of 85, everything was fine. But now except for Youtube, I can't play any video from any website. Whether news, entertainment etc.... Moreover, I usually watch Netflix from the browser and I get the Widevine Content Decryption Module error:

Widevine Content Decryption Module - Version: 4.10.2449.0
Status - Components not up to date
Check for updates

And this is the result it gives. The thing is that I refresh the page and it says that the components are up to date, but I hit it again and it says that they are not.

Never in all that I've been using opera, which is since versions 30 and something, I had never happened. And no matter how I install it, in ubuntu (either snap or deb). It doesn't fix or work.

It is something desperate, that every time there is an update, in one of them, always happens this problem of videos in Ubuntu (at least in my case).

This is like having a browser in beta or test version, but it doesn't work. And I deleted cokies, I went to browse without add-ons and also in private mode... and there is no way.

You can't do anything that has to do with video...

Best regards

Postadata:

Every how many days an update comes out, because the 86.0.4363.17 was perfect, but this .23 final, this to be polished... at least in linux (ubuntu 18.04 or 20.04)

Any solution?

@albano23 The script at https://github.com/Ld-Hagen/fix-opera-linux-ffmpeg-widevine should fix things. If that fails, see this page.

When you open a link from a third-party application, the Opera window with all the tabs is duplicated. The bug appeared in version 85, remained in version 86.

Currency conversion:

When entering 100 USD EUR in address line and pressing enter, the browser does not return search result in Google.

It copies result to clipboard. This is unwanted behavior.

If user enters a search in URL field, it should forward as a normal search and open result page.
