Same here too.
It also happened to me while trying to open several bookmarks all at once, from the Bookmarks page.
Tried un-installing and re-installing the app from scratch, but once the latest update pops up, the issue returns. Seems to have to do with multi-tabs.

Just found this on another forum about Opera's crashes, I hope this helps. I'll keep you informed on the effects on my browser:

1. Launch Opera and open its hidden secret advanced configuration page using opera://flags command in address bar.

2. Now click inside "Search experiments" text box and type 'throttling'. It'll show the following two options in the results:

Background tab throttling Mac, Windows, Linux
Throttle timers in background tabs. #background-tab-throttling

Throttle expensive background timers Mac, Windows, Linux
Enables intervention to limit CPU usage of background timers to 1%. #expensive-background-timer-throttling

3. To disable background tabs throttling feature, select 'Disabled' from the drop-down box of both options.
4. Opera will show you a message "Your changes will take effect the next time you relaunch Opera" along with a button to relaunch Opera. Click on the "Relaunch Now" button to restart Opera web browser.

@stevencee I'm leery of 'experimental' fixes. I'd like Opera to issue a stable, fixed version of the browser.

I thought it did until a few minutes ago, when the issue returned.

Yep, that only seemed to be a workaround, while the guys come up with something stable.
