@leocg There are no extensions and, as previously mentioned, one of the first things I did was to reset all settings to their defaults.

Every time I open up the browser, a "Downloaded Files" folder/shortcut appears by itself on my Desktop. At first I thought it was because I had placed my default Downloads Location to be a folder on my Desktop instead of the Desktop itself. I quickly realized though that no matter what the destination is, opening up the browser creates the same folder every time. Even though it's just one icon, it's really annoying!
I've tested this with other browsers as well and it's only when I open Opera that creates the folder. I also tried uninstalling and re-installing the browser as well as turning all the settings back to their defaults, to no avail. Any idea what's causing it and how to fix it?

Just noticed this today on June 17th where, after I've opened up YouTube in one tab, it leaves this curious little faded/ghost URL at the bottom left corner of the browser screen. It remains there on every tab, and even if there is no YT page is open. Any idea what could cause this and how to remove it?
