@steven1958 In opera://extensions/, enable Developer Mode.

Click on Load unpacked, find the extension folder in the copy that you've made and select the subfolder with the version number.

@leocg Thanks. I have been able to now to reinstall the extensions. Lots of errors reported, mainly ""manifest_version": 2,"
Also I saw that some extensions will maybe stop working this year.

Same here, 3 of my extensions got corrupted as well. On which Dashlane for example. Not really convenient right now.

@ralf-brinkmann Maybe a silly question, but what is the most convenient and straightforward method in this case to perform a rollback

@xsellize as far as I know you can download an oldrr version however Opera forces you to update to the last one. An interim solution is mentioned above in this thread and it's about creating a new extention folder and force Opera to point to that.

Hi @zusu72

I was assuming something like that indeed.
However, we're indeed kind of screwed by the automatic update configuration from Opera itself.
I do think the extension thing they mentioned above was meant for how you could recover your extensions in the stable version, not how to bypass the Opera automatic update configuration.
But I could be wrong, of course

@xsellize I'm using this extension folder workaround until the new release (hopefully) will fix the bug.
Not ideal, but it works.

Failed to work for me! Currently use Opera Stable portable with updates off, so, I always have an Opera browser that works. Too good to get broken.

@xsellize, I installed Opera as a standalone version. Therefore everything is in one directory, no additional directories in the user folder or anywhere else. Before I install a new version, I copy the entire Opera folder to a backup disk. If something goes wrong during or after the update installation, I delete the entire Opera folder and write back the backed up one. And I always start Opera with the " --disable-update" parameter so that after starting it doesn't automatically check for updates and install something against my will.

Why does the development team treat users so badly? There has been a serious problem in the browser for more than a week, but no one is in a hurry to fix it. Maybe we need to find more active people for the team?

@vladbabinets Maybe you should use the stable version? Issues are kinda expected in a development ("alpha") version.

Nice to know, by the way, wasn't aware of the "--disable-update" parameter, not sure if it is documented somewhere. Thanks, though, for the tip!

Update: I was able to re-enable the extensions, not by the repair function, but when I went to the Chrome web store I had this notification saying the extension was 'inactive'. As soon as I clicked 'enable now' the extension popped up again and was visible and working.
