Opera GX installing all my files

Hello, I have a problem that Opera GX installs all my files. After the installation of the files I can’t open them, because it leads me into saving the file again and it goes on like that. Anyone know how to fix this?

@vaintrix What files?

Opera does not have an option to open files directly (except those which open in te browser) and thus will force you to save any other files. To open a file you just saved (and which has finished downloading) you can double-click the notification (the one that says Download completed) or on the name in the Downloads list.

@vaintrix What do you mean by install your files? Opera can't open jar files.

@leocg yeah that is the problem, when i uninstall opera gx it still installs the jar files. I wanted to install forge so i can play Minecraft with mods but it didnt work.

@vaintrix But what install your files means? It makes no sense.

@leocg When i install a jar file on google, it shows the opera GX logo. After that i cant open the file because it has the opera GX logo.

@vaintrix Opera adds a temporary extension (opdownload) to files being downloaded, that is removed when the download ends. Sometimes that may not happen and the extension remains, check if it's not the case

@vaintrix Are you saying .jar files are associated with Opera GX in Windows instead of the Java Runtime Environment where double-left-clicking on a .jar file tries to open the .jar file in Opera GX instead of opening it with Java?
