caplanus last edited byI installed Opera 86.0.4363.23, but it doesn't open and gives a warning:
"Unable to open user profile directory,
because you do not have the necessary permissions.
You may want to contact the administrator of this
machine."So I reinstalled Opera 85.0.4341.18, wich installed and
opened without giving any warning.If I do not have the necessary permissions,
why Opera 85.0.4341.18 can be installed, and why not
Opera 86.0.4363.23 ?What shall I do?
Thanks in advance for a fix recommendation. -

Opera 86.0.4363.23 first was installed as a automatic Opera update.
After the issue I downloaded “Opera Standalone Offline Installer” from
www.opera.com/download/get/?partner=www&opsys=Windows
wich gave the same issue.Yes, my user account has admin privileges.

@caplanus could you answer following questions:
- which version of operating system you have (please run winver from start menu)?
- which type of installation you have? all users/single user/USB
- where is located your installation directory?
- where is located your profile directory?
Does it also happen on version 85.0.4341.75 as you mention 85.0.4341.18 in your previous comments. Can you try installer from https://get.opera.com/pub/opera/desktop/85.0.4341.75/win/ ?

Yes it happened also on version 85.0.4341.60 and 85.0.4341.75
Operating system: Windows 8 Pro 32 bit
Installation directory: C:\Users\CP\AppData\Local\Programs\Opera
Type of installation: I am not sure,
once the install process was asking for type of installation as all users/single user.
It does not ask anymore and installs automatically. -

Hi I have the latest version 86.0.4363.23, on Ubuntu (Linux) 18.04, and until yesterday I had the latest version of 85, everything was fine. But now except for Youtube, I can't play any video from any website. Whether news, entertainment etc.... Moreover, I usually watch Netflix from the browser and I get the Widevine Content Decryption Module error:
Widevine Content Decryption Module - Version: 4.10.2449.0
Status - Components not up to date
Check for updatesAnd this is the result it gives. The thing is that I refresh the page and it says that the components are up to date, but I hit it again and it says that they are not.
Never in all that I've been using opera, which is since versions 30 and something, I had never happened. And no matter how I install it, in ubuntu (either snap or deb). It doesn't fix or work.
It is something desperate, that every time there is an update, in one of them, always happens this problem of videos in Ubuntu (at least in my case).
This is like having a browser in beta or test version, but it doesn't work. And I deleted cokies, I went to browse without add-ons and also in private mode... and there is no way.
You can't do anything that has to do with video...
Best regards
Postadata:
Every how many days an update comes out, because the 86.0.4363.17 was perfect, but this .23 final, this to be polished... at least in linux (ubuntu 18.04 or 20.04)
Any solution?

@albano23 The script at https://github.com/Ld-Hagen/fix-opera-linux-ffmpeg-widevine should fix things. If that fails, see this page.

bug101 last edited byWhen you open a link from a third-party application, the Opera window with all the tabs is duplicated. The bug appeared in version 85, remained in version 86.

Currency conversion:
When entering 100 USD EUR in address line and pressing enter, the browser does not return search result in Google.
It copies result to clipboard. This is unwanted behavior.
If user enters a search in URL field, it should forward as a normal search and open result page.

The size of the text in the address bar has become very small and unreadable, please return it as it was

Same thing with units and time zones. Try 40000 feet and 22:00 EST.
No good. Browser must open page with search result.

@vegelund Okay, but the result is already there, you don't even need to go to the results page.
That is not my point. I am suggesting what is normal Chromium browser behavior and what a user expects:
The search query should upon pressing Enter deliver the search result page.A Google search result page delivers way more information and context than the limited drop-down field answer.
