<![CDATA[Firewall keeps blocking Opera from updating]]>Hi,

I've got an annoying issue. I got to update opera manuelly because opera keeps changing the directory of opera_autoupdate.exe after each update. Is there a way to make opera using the same folder instead of creating a new one each updatE?

But the problem is i can't whitelist folders, only executables. Which is pretty annoying.

They are meant to be like that, so that Opera or a user can roll back to a previous version if something should go wrong.
