The Opera is opening two windows when I only clicked to open just one. I have already tested by right-clicking and opening the menu to select the option to open a new window, and seconds after opening it, a new window opens.

On Linux Mint 20.3 I'm getting the same thing. When I start opera using a launcher or from a terminal a browser window opens and then a second browser window opens over it. This only started happening after I updated Opera to version 103.0.4928.16 and has never happened for me with any previous version of Opera. I have reported the bug.

@nuiin I confirm what you say, the same thing happens to me in Ubuntu 22.04, I will report it too, I have installed the snap version and the .deb, and both do the same, the only one that does not is the snap beta. I also tried it on a minipc with ubuntu 20.04, and the same thing happens, click the opera icon and skip/load 2 instead of 1. The worst thing is that according to snapcraft.io this 103 is an edge version, but for the opera web is stable, for the ubuntu software store, which is itself a snap store, both the stable and edge is the 103, and for the ppa (.deb) is the 103 also a stable. It is not understood at all.

Ok. I decided to try to reset Opera keeping my personal data (Opera icon -> Update & Recovery -> Recover -> "Keep my data and only reset Opera settings" click Recover button) and that got rid of two browser windows appearing when started. The speed dial gained some unwanted tiles, all extensions were disabled, and the wallpaper changed but, as far as I can see, all my bookmarks and speed dial tiles that I added were still there. So maybe this represents a fix.

I confirm that Nuiin's solution, it works, just follow the steps he said "reset Opera keeping my personal data (Opera icon -> Update & Recovery -> Recover -> "Keep my data and only reset Opera settings" click Recover button)". I just did it with my opera from .DEB and with my opera from SNAP, using Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. With this you don't lose any data or bookmarks, you just have to reconfigure the browser to your liking and that's it. Of course if you choose to delete data and settings, if you have to start from scratch. So, before doing Nuiin's solution I have exported my passwords and speed dialers, you never know. What I have noticed, is that thanks to this solution, another bug that is reporting, which is that it takes a long time to clear the history, even if you have only opened a tab, has been solved.
Postadata: Now I just hope that in the next stable this solution does not cause problems, in theory it should not because it is a reset.
Thanks Nuiin, for the solution, you saved my day.
Best regards.

I followed your recommendation and got back to normal. Now it only opens one window, as it should! The good thing is that I didn't have to reinstall anything. I had to reconfigure Opera, just the preferences, extensions, those things. Thanks for your support.
