Opera disabling extensions on its own is annoying...

@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.

@rejzor Avast is paid or, at least, has a paid version, so they can afford the costs of doing it.

Anyway, this topic was already addressed.

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.
