      I went to opera://settings/siteData and login.live.com (6 cookies) and mg.mail.yahoo.com (File System) have trash can icons beside them

      Type google.com in the search field there and choose "remove all shown".

        By the way, the pop-up is only displayed when signing into Gmail.

        Hmm, interesting.

          I went to opera://settings/handlers and deleted mail.google.com.

          I went to opera://settings/siteData and typed google.com in the search field but it stated 'no search results found.'

          I signed into Gmail and the pop-up came up before an email was even opened.

          The pop-up is only displayed when signing into Gmail after opening a new Opera window. It. is not displayed in Opera or Firefox when signing into Hotmail or Yahoo.

            @sporty78 Hotmail and Yahoo probably aren't asking to be mailto handlers.

                  'mail.google.com wants to open email links: Allow or Block' in the top left corner after signing into Gmail using Opera.

                      The pop-up only appears when signing into Gmail using Opera (I do not even get as far an opening an email) using a new window.

                      The the pop-up does not re-appear if I sign out of Opera and sign in again using the same tab,

                        @sporty78 A broken profile may be causing the problem, that's why you need to check with a clean profile.

                              The link was unhelpful.

                              All it states is 'Take note of the path to the profile directory (see above), then go there using your OS file explorer and rename the directory so Opera will create a new one on next start.'

                              Is this the link you intended to paste: https://forums.opera.com/topic/25420/how-to-create-a-clean-profile-directory?

                              If so, what should the 'Opera Stable' directory be renamed and does the computer need to be rebooted for the change to take effect?

                                @sporty78 The link wasn't unhelpful, it's clear enough on how to create a clean profile. And also says how to find the path to the profile folder.

                                Just rename it and no, the computer doesn't need to be rebooted.

                                  I changed Opera Stable to Opera Browser, closed Windows Explorer, re-opened Opera, and the welcome page was displayed.

                                  I signed back into Gmail but the pop-up did not appear.

                                  Can the directory name be changed back to Opera Stable in the future or is the new directory name permanent?

                                    @sporty78 You can delete that new profile folder and then rename the old one back to its original name but it probably will bring the problem back.

                                      The old directory 'Opera Stable ' and the new directory 'Opera Browser' are listed in the directory path in Windows Explorer.

                                      1. Should the old directory 'Opera Stable' (and all of its contents) be deleted?

                                      2. Can the newly-created directory be renamed 'Opera Stable' or will that bring the problem back?

                                        @sporty78 Opera Stable is the new directory. It was created after you have renamed the old on to Opera Browser

                                          No, you are misunderstanding me.

                                          The 'original' directory was named Opera Stable. This is the directory that I renamed Opera Browser.

                                          However, the path is now showing TWO directories with the SAME contents even though all I did was RENAME the Opera Stable directory.

                                          Are you following me? 🙂

                                            @sporty78 Sorry but you are the one not understanding things here.

                                            When you renamed the profile folder to Opera Browser, Opera re-created the profile folder (Opera Stable) and started using it.
                                            And because you are using that new profile, you don't see the problem. This mean that the problem is caused by some setting or extension in the old profile or even because it's broken.

                                            What you can do now is to start from zero with the new profile or you can:

                                            • Delete it
                                            • Rename Opera Browser back to Opera Stable
                                            • Start Opera
                                            • Reset your settings
                                            • Check if the problem remains
