      It was our intention when introducing this mechanism to address unwanted installation of malware extensions. Thing we expected was for extensions to be disabled at most once after upgrading to build with this feature included. What you all report here with extensions getting disabled on each browser restart was not intended. We will disable this feature in stable update planned for this week.

          Apparently we have recently fixed some of the issues that could have been causing extensions to be disabled on each restart. Fix is available on latest developer build http://blogs.opera.com/desktop/2018/03/opera-53-0-2885-0-developer-update/
          Could any of you for whom this problem appears try to install above developer build, move your stable profile to developer and see if problem is still visible on restarts (it will probably disable extension on first time when running this build but hopefully should be only one time this time).

            Looks like it is working, but i have only tested 1 PC as I'm at work now.
            Also in this Opera built i can not install Sticky password.
            I can do more in 5h or so.

              Also works on my 2. PC
              BUT! i can not validate the stickypassword plugin, as this one can not be installed in the developer built. (Maybe some one knows a trick?)
              This plugin / extension can only be installed through the stickypassword application, which will not deal with the developer version of Opera 😞

                And works on the third one, with the former described conditions.

                  @vollhorst thanks for checking. We will try to check stickypassword application on some internal builds. For now we will have this feature disabled in stable builds until we make sure that issues found so far have been fixed.

                  Regarding stickypassword it is still considered valid case of manipulating Opera profile, so during installation of extensions it's expected that Opera will consider this as possible intrusion into user profile and will disable extensions. If sticky password isn't using same mechanism for updating extension this should happen only once.

                      Thank You!

                      so during installation of extensions it's expected that Opera will consider this as possible intrusion into user profile and will disable extensions.

                      This is understandable and tolerated 🙂
