@pindos Thank you; this is quite useful for me to know. Maybe my problem is caused by my extensions; I will try to experiment when the next update pops up

The issue still remains with the next version 102.0.4880.32
The OS is Debian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye) with the latest updates.
The desktop environment is LXQt. -

There is still no change on Debian 11 LXQt platform with the newer, 102.0.4880.33 - it just gets stuck on launch (if the process is aborted in terminal with ctrl-c, all the opera processes, which are 5, close automatically)

Open a command line window and execute "opera".
That might display some error messages you can capture and report back.

@vbnvbn I have a similar setup, Lubuntu with new updates. Maybe it is connected to some used libraries. Please post a version of your GLib package (libglib<something> and gir) as the error is connected to the technology used in those packages. Might help the devs to find some incompatibility.

@ondrejbenus There had been no updates, except the one of opera, before the browser began to behave the way described in the OP. So the issue should come from the code of opera-stable browser version 102 - there had been no such issue with it on that system (with Debian 11 LXQt) before 102 was patched on 23 august during an upgrade procedure. 101 had worked well on the same device up to that day and hour (it still works well - already tested). I think it is most likely related to LXQt.

@vbnvbn Not sure why, but I didn't think about installing an older version. Really works, Thanks for saving me.
For others, you can download an older working version from https://get.opera.com/ftp/pub/opera/desktop/101.0.4843.58/linux/
Or pick your favorite version here: https://get.opera.com/ftp/pub/opera/desktop/ -

I have now successfully installed 102.0.4880.40 on Linux Mint 21.2 from deb. I have not changed anything (same extentions as when updating failed 14 days ago), but of course a number of other packages have been updated in the previous 14 days. I have not tried to install opera-updates since 102.0.4880.16 gave me problems.

If you haven't already, you should post the issue in a Debian forum ... most likely related to the/your Deb environment.
No probs here on openSuse Tumbleweed, using a Flatpak.

The other chromium-based browsers work properly on the same configuration. Plus, opera browser had also worked properly for years on Debian/LXQt devices at my work until the moment when it was upgraded to version 102 few weeks ago. That is why i am not inclined to think that the issue comes from Debian distribution. -

I don't know exactly where the issue comes from but now microsoft edge also gets stuck at launch in exactly the same way giving the same error output as opera in terminal.
