I submitted this via the bug report form and pointed it at this thread, so maybe some good will come of this. Who knows?

RE: Marlboro.com webpage says update software needed to load pageOpera for Windows
Oftentimes websites do this to browsers their javascript detection routine doesn't identify the browser as something they've whitelisted. The browser is using the same rendering engine that exists in the latest version of Chrome, and almost everything is compatible with Chrome these days.

RE: Opera won't startOpera for Windows
@im5049 - So you didn't do anything special to generate a debug output? That seems odd... I thought there had to be a compile-time flag or a command-line argument or something.
I'm tempted to try Opera Next, but whatever tabs I had open/stashed won't make the jump, will they? I wonder if it's as simple as installing Opera Next, then overwriting whatever profile Next creates with the Stable profile folders I already have.
I can't believe I'm considering going to a potentially even less stable browser... sigh.

RE: Opera won't startOpera for Windows
@im5049 Sorry, what I meant to ask was how do you execute Opera to generate the debug file, and where does it put it?
I dunno, I guess it's back to Firefox/Pale Moon for the moment. I really liked the new Opera's speed, since I'm one of those people who leaves a browser open forever between reboots with large numbers of tabs. It handled it quite well, and it has a nicer tab style than Chrome, if an awkward bookmarking system. (Seriously, stop trying to "revolutionize" bookmarks!) I don't like the rounded tab edges to make it look like it's a file folder (thanks for adding them, Australis).

RE: Opera won't startOpera for Windows
@leocg I believe I did a couple of times just to make sure when this first started, just to make sure there weren't any further "administrative tasks" an upgrade from 21.0.1432.57 to 21.0.1432.67 (an increase of only 00.0.0000.10) might require.
Other than that, running your browser as an administrator seems like an awful idea in normal circumstances. Shouldn't ever need to do that, and it's a bad security practice. Opera shouldn't require users to run their browsers as admin, even only once. Teaches bad security.

RE: Opera won't startOpera for Windows
@im5049 Where is this debug file? I imagine you have to start the opera.exe (or launcher.exe) with a special argument to generate a debug file?

RE: Opera won't startOpera for Windows
Okay.
I deleted my Opera Stable profile from AppData\Roaming.
I deleted my Opera Stable cache from AppData\Local.
I uninstalled Opera. I removed the current and past versions of Opera from "C:\Program Files (x86)\Opera". (I run Win7 x64.)
I reinstalled Opera. IT DOES THE SAME EXACT THING.
I give a vote of no-confidence for Opera version 21.0.1432.67. This is garbage.

RE: Opera won't startOpera for Windows
Same problem here, I installed the latest update and cannot start Opera. No processes running, and I'd rather not obliterate my profile if I can help it.
