@thelittlebrowserthatcould said in Opera 131 Stable:

with the slow launch time

Here (on quite slow PC on Win 10) Edge starts about 2-3 times faster than Opera under the same conditions (almost clean profile + same extensions installed).
Edge has a bit more history data + start page extension from MS store (speed dial) but still faster (Startup boost in Settings is disabled).

Maybe the first is just a pinned Google-Tab from a previous session? Try unpinning it, then close it. Try a restart. Then it should be gone.

Otherwise it seems like a bug, if it is not a pinned tab.

Try a clean install. Otherwise try a previous Opera Version.

Never had such a behaviour.

If it happens again and again, just file a bug-report and send it to Opera. Maybe you can test it with another PC or Laptop, then at least you know it is your special configuration.

Hope a dev answers your post soon directly, I'm also interested in this one.

Could also be a corrupt installation of the OS, so that TEMP-files mess up in the background. But better let the devs speak for themselves...

@theory65-0 right click on the first one - unpin tab. Or simply, right click - close tab

It happens every time you open Opera?

@theory65-0 Someone on Reddit had this and it was one of their extensions that was causing it.

Me again

Hi! Based on your screenshot, if it's not a standard pinned tab, here are three likely causes and how to fix them:

1. "On Startup" Settings
   Google might be set as a static startup page in addition to your normal session.

Go to opera://settings/onStartup.

Check if "Open a specific page or set of pages" is selected and if Google is listed there.

If so, remove the entry or switch back to "Retain tabs from previous session".

2. Modified Shortcut Target
   Sometimes the URL is accidentally added to the Opera shortcut itself.

Right-click your Opera shortcut (on Desktop or Taskbar) and select Properties.

Look at the "Target" field. It should end with opera.exe". If there is a URL (like https://www.google.com) behind the quotes, delete it.

3. Corrupt Session Files
   If a session file is bugged, it might "freeze" tabs and force them to reopen every time.

Go to opera://about to find your Profile path.

Close Opera completely.

Navigate to that folder and delete the "Sessions" subfolder. (Note: This will clear all currently open tabs, but it usually fixes persistent "ghost" tabs).

Bonus tip: Since Opera 131 uses Tab Islands, check if that Google icon is actually the start of a collapsed "Island." Try right-clicking the icon and selecting "Separate from Island" or "Close Tab Island."

Hope this helps!

Long shot, but check anyway. Goto the URL opera://flags/#policy, enable the "Show policy page" flag, restart Opera and goto the URL opera://policy. Does it show that any policies are set from the registry?

@theory65-0 Try uninstalling all extensions instead of just disabling them.

What extensions do you have installed?

Opera One (version: 131.0.5877.5) (Windows)

• Use 2 tabs, one for "Speed dial", the other for YouTube.
• Play a video on YouTube and while playing the video, press Ctrl+Tab (and release it) repeatedly.

After a number of times pressing Ctrl+Tab, Opera crashes and restarts.

(The Speed dial tab is just an example, can be any content and any number of tabs.)

@whisperer: By 2 tabs you mean split screen? Could you share a crash ID?

No, no split screen.

No.

@Opera-QA-Team said in Opera 131 Stable:

Installed Opera on Windows Sandbox and reported there.
CRASH-14745
CrashID=bp-9238cc72-ca7c-4c47-899c-eb41d0260504
Does that help?

Edit:
Switch to the tab playing the video with Ctrl+Tab. Wait long with releasing the Ctrl key. Then it seems to crash.
