        Got today the same problem, with a bunch of strange symptoms - opera won't open at click to icon (at the same time, a bunch of dead processes accumulate in the list of running programs ), sometimes it launchs finally (UI is opens), but no speed dial shortcuts, and no browsing history (though bookmarks section still comtain\show all bookmarks properly).
        How a much years i use opera, such madhouse first time.
        Latest version \ Win10
        Tried "cleaning browsing data" - not helps. Moreover the icon of cleaning continued spinning endlessly after cleaning process, so, forced to close browser without cleaning end alert.

          Suddenly experiencing exactly the same problem -- with Opera and several other sites.

          Other sites (like Foxfire) work just fine.

              Having the same problem as well. Takes about one minute of heavy CPU usage for Speed Dial to load every time I open Opera (before that is just an empty page).

              Then it's behaving normaly until the next time I close it and use it again.

                  for me it now seems sporadic - everything opened just fine a little while ago but now I'm having the same problem - in fact, I can't even click on the Opera desktop icon to try to open it -

                          This work for me. Go to your profile folder (My is for example here C:\Users\Ohaha\AppData\Roaming\Opera Software\Opera Stable)

                          Delete files:
                          History
                          History Provider Cache
                          History-journal
                          Restart Opera.

                            Looks like it works for me as well. Opera now opens from my desktop shortcut, along with several of the sites that used this browser.

                            Thanks so much for the help.

                              @ftfire Excellent info. Had the same as others, speed dial was super delayed in opening. This did the trick. Opening fine now. Saving info for future reference.

                                    @ljfried Check the path in Menu > Help > About Opera or by typing opera://about in address bar

                                      @leocg thank you but all I see there are the version I'm using (which is up to date) plus browser identification; paths; legal information

                                          @leocg sorry but I don't understand. I followed your instructions to get to Profile page but did not see anything about what "ftfire" posted - I mean deleting History, History Provider Cache, History-journal. Sorry if I'm doing something wrong. You are very nice to try to help me.

                                            @gp123 Morning after the "Opera crisis" the fix is still working.

                                            For the folks contacting me about applying this solution there is confusion about finding the "profile page". This is the folder that stores attributes about the Opera program. For Windows 7 it can be found at:

                                            C:\Users\name\AppData\Roaming\Opera Software\Opera Stable

                                            For Mac and W10 users, should be something similar

                                            Open this folder and delete the three "History" files cited. Then restart Opera. All should be OK.
