Opera 49.0.2725.34 not launching on Kali after install

A Former User

I've had no problems with Opera in the past. I made an update to 49.0.2725.34 and it stopped launching.

cat /etc/lsb-release

DISTRIB_ID=Kali
DISTRIB_RELEASE=kali-rolling
DISTRIB_CODENAME=kali-rolling
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Kali GNU/Linux Rolling"

I was able to install and launch a much older version of Opera 12 with no problems.
Output from my most recent install of Opera 49:

dpkg -i opera*

Appreciate your suggestions.

If you use kali as stock, that means with only the root user available, it's because opera can not be run as root
# opera [1113/071120.729838:ERROR:zygote_host_impl_linux.cc(88)] Running as root without --no-sandbox is not supported. See https://crbug.com/638180.
