@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.

Could you share a crash ID?

No.

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.

Bug:

When a login modal is open, closing the bottom side tab causes the browser to crash.

Steps to reproduce:

Open a page where the login modal is displayed.
Keep the modal open.
Click on the bottom item in the left sidebar to close the side tab.
The browser crashes / the page stops responding.

Expected behavior:
The side tab should close normally without affecting the modal or crashing the browser.

Actual behavior:
Clicking to close the side tab while the modal is open causes the browser to crash.

Note:
The issue only occurs when the modal window is open (see screenshot).

Same thing happens when using the developer version Opera One (132.0.5889.0).

@NetSkyCZ I couldn't reproduce it with https://authenticationtest.com/HTTPAuth/. Does it have to be on localhost like in your pic? I even tried with a custom site panel. Edit: Couldn't reproduce with a local server either.

Can we please get a way to use the 'search pop-up' feature only with a hotkey and some more customizability to the pop-up itself? It makes no sense that after all these years this feature is still so impractical.
