      In order to stop receiving email notifications for this thread only, I clicked 'stop watching' and ignoring' at the bottom of the thread page but I am still receiving email notifications.

      Is there a glitch?

          Yes, in order to stop receiving email notifications for this thread, I clicked 'stop watching' (still received emails) and then selected 'ignoring' (but still received emails).

          Is there a glitch?

            @sporty78 Maybe your replies to the topic are making the default option to be turned on again.

            Are you getting notifications for any replies or just for those send to your posts?

                @sporty78 So it's probably the first alternative.

                  Before I sign out completely and back in, should I select 'not watching' or 'ignoring?'

                    Hidden extensions, that collect data from the websites you visit and that you can't disable, and you did not give permissions to install in the first place ???

                    Seriously, is this how it ends for Opera?

                    This is what I have after running opera with that option --....

                    Rich Hints Agent
                    Aliexpress observer
                    Amazon promotion
                    Background worker
                    Bookmarks
                    Chromium PDF Viewer
                    CryptoTokenExtension
                    Google Hangouts
                    News feed handler
                    Onboarding popup
                    Opera Crypto Wallet
                    Rate Opera
                    Stormcrow
                    Video handler

                    ...EOT

                      @duncanm Hi, as several other people have mentioned, the "C:\Program Files\Opera\launcher.exe -show-component-extension-options" doesn't allow us to work it. It keeps saying "The name... specified in the Target box is not valid. Make sure the path and file name are correct"
                      and then when you load the entire thing into the "run" box it only opens Opera and nothing happens.
                      so, is this different for others?

                        @sporty78 It depends on you, choose the one that will do what you need.

                          @xtorbax same. Some clarification would be welcome, especially since the "Source" tab of Rich Hints Agent says "Added by a third-party".

                              I followed your advice, I deleted the file that had those Items, then rebotted Opera, received that same message, hit the "update" botton and now the pop-up is gone completely. Thanks, the others' advice never worked. Also, my laptop never has shown the Rich Hints Agent at all, so I guess I am lucky, or it just refuses to show anything hidden.
                              Cheers

                                  As far as I tested, the problem has now been fixed by the Opera developers.

                                    @johnd78 Still doing it for me 😞 Actually, I hadn't seen it for awhile, and it just started up again.

                                      What extension? What permissions? Sure I'll accept, but how?

                                      This reminds me of the perfidious Windows bug where you might see the error message, "The system cannot find the file specified." What system? Which file? Specified by whom?

                                      This is a bug I tell you, and I call on Opera developers / extension developers to grep through the source looking for that string. Find the code and add a sprintf() statement that would insert the name of the extension, at the very least.

                                      Jim

                                        Having exactly the same issue but on a Mac.

                                        Does anyone have any ideas on how to resolve on a Mac??

                                        Hoping that this is a bug that will be fixed, otherwise.

                                        Also, FYI, the folder names in my bookmarks bar are also not showing now when not an active window.

                                        I think this latest version of Opera has COVID-19 and needs treatment.

                                          That means you need a space between .exe and the launch command.

                                            @duncanm I tried multiple variations of it, and it refuses to let it save. I found a work around and it worked on mine. Thanks though!
