Opera disabling extensions on its own is annoying...

And out of the blue, it just happened again! I was fiddling with 3rd party cookies blocking setting in Opera and after browser restart to see if my twitter login will be cleared again and all the extensions got disabled. They really need to look at this mechanism and tone it down a bit. It's stupid trigger happy in disabling extensions.

It has happened to me once ... I have no idea what triggered it. I have Windows 7, 32-bit.

Very frequent updates, active community, Take a look, maybe you'll like it.Sorry to hear, that annoying issue keeps continuing to happen to you
You think you know, but you have no idea.

Happened to me once recently. Didn't have any extensions before I got the notification and when I went into opera://extensions, I still didn't have any extensions (not under "disabled" or anywhere). So, I don't know what triggered the notification. There wasn't anything trying to sneak an extension into Opera, so I assumed it was just Opera being goofy/buggy.

@oglena I have 51.0.2830.40 and it STILL disables them. I only have two extensions and one is Sticky Password and I can't auto log in to Opera to do this complaint, I have enable the extensions, log in, and then refind where this forum is. It doesn't automatically go back after the log in. But what gives with the disabling? I wonder if it's because I have FireFox also open? Or is it connected to the synchronization? Seems that it's a common enough problem they should be working on it. I may try Vivaldi. Firefox won't recognize ameritech.net emails sometimes and it sends me to AT&T log in which I have for home system but that's NOT my email and it wants me to change to AT&T.

@randymartin It's probably related to the fact that you are using at least one extension not published on Opera's add-ons page.
Chrome doesn't allow extensions that are not on its webstore, maybe Opera is following the same path? -

@leocg I've had that problem only when I've uninstalled an extension from the chrome store

@leocg Good thought. Consider this. On my laptop, I have only 2 extensions: Stick Password and TinEye. SP has a supported browser choice dropdown and Opera is an option. Opera does not list SP. TE does not have supported browser drop down but it does have an add-on extension. My laptop ALWAYS (for the last several weeks) needs to have those extensions enabled. I get the message that a new extension has been added and is unknown and all the extensions are shut down.
My Desktop has the same 2 extension plus 5 others. It NEVER gets that warning and I NEVER have to enable my extensions.
Your thoughts?

@randymartin A little research I've done revealed that Chrome seems to do not allow extensions not listed on the add-ons store. I'm not sure about Opera's policy on the matter but I suppose it should be similar.
So I would guess that those non-listed extensions may be cause of the problem.

@leocg Sounds right except that one computer works and one does not. Same Opera, Same extensions. BTW, I do NOT use Chrome at all.

@randymartin And isn't reasonable for one to be able to FIND Opera's policy on these matters? I like Opera but their inter-personal support is non-existent.

They should work like avast!. They have developers regularly floating around forums checking info, feedback, suggestions and ideas and it works superbly. A lot of things can be spotted early this way.

I have been experiencing this problem the last three days - since I updated to the newer version of Opera. I am a very long time user of Opera and never had this problem before. I have only the following four extensions installed:
Sticky Password
AdBlock
Bookmarks Import & Export
Popup Blocker (lite)All four are disabled by Opera with the message in red as indicated above. I have to Enable each one daily.
I hope there is a fix soon for this problem.
