I'm having repeated issues with Opera 44.0.2510.857 crashing. I haven't been good about keeping track of which links are causing problems...it happens when I control-click on a link in one page attempting to open content in a new tab. But the problem is pretty regular every since the update to 44.0.

Also, when I click on a link from some other source (Email, Word document, etc.) Opera opens with 2 tabs - the first is set to my default page and the second is the page I'm trying to view.

Here is my system report:

I run on a Macbook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2015)
2.8 GHz Intel Core i7
16 gb 1600 MHz DDR3
AMD Radeon R9 M370X 2048 MB
Intel Iris Pro 1536 MB
Mac OS Sierra version 10.12.4 (16E195)
