Goto the URL opera://flags/#search-in-open-tabs, disable the flag, and restart Opera.

Goto URL opera://settings/startPage. You'll see a suggestions option that you can disable (among other things).

Test this solution. Remove the Opera Safe Store password from Keychain Access login item.

Steps:

Open Keychain Access application

Choose 'login' keychain on left

Choose 'Password' group

Find 'Opera Safe Storage' entry, right click it and choose Delete.

You can goto https://addons.opera.com/en/wallpapers/?tag=animated and install one of the animated wallpapers. Then, in Opera, goto the URL opera://about and take note of the "profile" path. Then, close Opera and look in the "themes" folder in the profile folder.

You'll see the folder for the wallpaper you installed. In it, you can see how to create your own. You then just zip up your persona.ini file with the webm file and thumbnail and you 'll have your custom wallpaper.

Things you can try:

Goto the URL opera://about and take note of the "profile" path. Then, close Opera and delete the WidevineCDM folder in the profile folder.

Then, start Opera, goto the URL opera://components, click "update" for Widevine, let it update, and restart Opera.

Then, start Opera and goto https://html5test.com/ and make sure it shows "yes" for h.264 support and "yes" for aac support.

Once that's good, goto https://bitmovin.com/demos/drm, make sure it says "Using Widevine" above the video and "Widevine" for EME below the video, and "video/mp4; codecs="avc1.42c00d" for MSE below the video. And, make sure the video plays and you can hear its audio.

Then, goto the URL opera://settings/siteData, type spotify.com in the search-cookies field and choose "remove all shown".

Then, goto https://open.spotify.com/ in a new tab, log in, and try to play some music.

If you still have problems, goto the URL opera://flags/#reduce-user-agent, enable the flag, restart Opera, and try again.

If you still have problems, goto the URL opera://settings/system, disable hardware acceleration, restart Opera, and try again.

If you still have problems, goto the URL opera://extensions, disable all your extensions, and restart Opera.

If you still ahve problems, make sure you're not using Opera's VPN, and try turning off Opera's Adblocking and tracking protection.

If you still have problems, try all of the above with a standalone installation.

You can also goto the URL opera://settings/content/protectedContent, and make sure "Sites can play protected content" and "Sites can use identifiers to play protected content" are set with no sites in the custom behaviors list.

In the Opera program files directory, right-click on launcher.exe to create a new shortcut and place it on your desktop. Then, on the desktop, rename it what you want. Then, right-click on the shortcut, goto properties and then the "shortcut" tab. On that tab, modify the target to add the --user-data-dir command-line switch.

For example:

"C:\Program Files (X86)\Opera\launcher.exe" "--user-data-dir=C:\Users\yourusername\Opera2"

(I personally have a "My Program Files" folder in "C:\Users\myusername", so I'd use "C:\Users\myusername\My Program Files\Opera2" for example.)

You can create as many shortcuts as you want with each using a different profile folder.

See http://peter.sh/experiments/chromium-command-line-switches/#user-data-dir for more info.

I finally got this to happen to me in Opera GX. I then went to the URL opera://settings/system and enabled "Use DNS-over-HTTPS instead of the system’s DNS settings". Then things starting working. I don't know if that's coincidence or not yet though.

Goto the URL opera://flags/#PasswordImport, enable the import flag and restart Opera. Then, goto the URL opera://settings/passwords, click the 3 vertical dots to the right of "saved passwords" and choose to import the csv file.

For the specific format of the CSV file, export passwords to a csv file from the same opera://settings/passwords 3-dot menu in any Chromium-based browser and look at the CSV file in a text editor.

Log into https://gemini.google.com/app in a tab.

Then, enable the "Custom user sites for browser sidebar" flag at the URL opera://flags/#sidebar-site-panel, restart Opera, click the 3 dots at the bottom of the sidebar, scroll down to Custom Site Panels and add https://gemini.google.com/app.

Goto the URL opera://about and take note of the "profile" path. Close down Opera and delete the WidevineCDM folder in the profile folder. Then, start Opera, goto opera://components and try updating Widevine again.

You might want to make sure opera://flags/#new-component-update-mechanism is disabled too. It should be by default, but check that URL just in case.

Are you talking about the start page button that's missing on the left side of the address bar in Opera One builds?

@thegoaty I get the same behavior as @leocg. When there's only one window open, you can't close the last tab. When there are multiple windows open, you can close the last tab, which closes the window. If that action cause only one window to remain, the last tab in that remaining window will switch to being unclosable. (For Opera GX, right-click the GX Corner tab and choose "move GX corner to sidebar" so the pinned GX corner tab doesn't interfere with this behavior.)

This is all intended behavior. Opera users typically don't like the last tab to close the browser. It would be nice if there was an option to control this though, but there isn't.

Use ctrl + pageDown and ctrl + pageUp instead.

Or, goto the URL opera://settings/keyboardShortcuts, remove ctrl + tab from "cycle forward through tabs", ctrl + shift + tab from "cycle backward through tabs", add ctrl + tab to "Switch right through tabs" and add ctrl + shift + tab to "Switch left through tabs".

In Opera Developer (68), it has been change to a search icon. You can goto the URL opera://flags/#search-in-open-tabs, disable it and restart to get the old behavior back.

Are you using Opera 68?

If you haven't closed Opera yet since you started Opera back up after the crash:

• Click the tab menu to the left of the minimize button near the top-right of Opera's Window. See if all your tabs are in the Recently Closed list. If so, you can choose to reopen them one by one.

If they're not there:

• Goto the URL opera://about and take note of the "profile" path.

• In Windows Explorer, goto the profile folder. Right-click the "Last Session" file and open it in Notepad. Do the same with the "Last Tabs" file.

If the URLs for your tabs are not in those files, you're out of luck. If they are, do the following:

• Select the "Last Session" and "Last Tabs" files, right-click the selection, choose "copy", right-click on your desktop and choose "paste". Then, close Opera.

• In Opera's profile folder, delete the "Last Session", "Last Tabs", "Current Session" and "Current Tabs" files.

• On your desktop, rename "Last Session" to "Current Session" and "Last Tabs" to "Current Tabs".

• On your desktop, select the "Current Session" and "Current Tabs" files, right-click the selection, choose "copy", right-click inside Opera's profile folder, and choose "paste".

• Then, you can start Opera and your tabs should be back. If not, check the tab menu and reopen them one by one.

Now, if you've already closed Opera, you're probably out of luck. But, you can open the "Last Session","Last Tabs", "Current Session" and "Current Tabs" files in Notepad anyway and see if any of them contain your URLs. If the "Last Session" and "Last Tabs" files do, you can get rid of "Current Session" and "Current Tabs" and rename "Last Session" and "Last Tabs" to "Current Session" and "Current Tabs". If "Current Session" and "Current Tabs" contain the URLs, you can copy those files to a safe place where maybe someone can make you a tool to extract the URLs out the files for you.

• Goto the URL opera://about and take note of the "install" path.

• Close Opera.

• Open the Windows Task Manager and make sure there are really no Opera processes running. If there are, end task on them.

• Close the browser you want to import from. Confirm it's closed in the task manager.

• Open up a command prompt (Windows Key + r, type cmd and press enter) and type this command and press enter:

  "C:\Program Files\Opera\launcher.exe" --enable-features=PasswordImport

(replace C:\Program Files\Opera with the install path you saw in opera://about.

• When Opera starts up, goto the URL opera://settings/importData, pick the browser you want to import from, uncheck everything but "saved passwords", and click "import".

If the import fails and there are really passwords stored in the source browser, try disconnecting from the net before opening Opera with the command to see if it makes a difference. Importing and storing of passwords might fail if your connection is marked as public instead of private in Windows.

Now, if you want, you can do the following to import from Chrome instead of the previous way.

• In Chrome, goto the URL chrome://settings/passwords.

• To the right of "Saved passwords" will be a kebab menu (3 vertical dots). Click the dots and choose to export your passwords. They'll be exported to a csv file.

• Open Opera the same way mentioned earlier. (As in, make sure Opera is really closed and launch it in a command prompt with the command mentioned earlier.)

• Goto the URL opera://settings/passwords.

• To the right of "Saved passwords", will be a kebab menu (3 vertical dots). Click the dots and choose to import passwords from the csv file you previously exported.

Then, they should show up in opera://settings/passwords.

One you're d one importing, you can close Opera, close the command prompt and open Opera the normal way from its icon/shortcut.

For bookmarks, goto the URL opera://bookmarks and use the drop-down at the bottom left to export bookmarks to an html file. You can then import them into other Chromium-based browsers like Chrome and the new Microsoft Edge. And, you should be able import them into Firefox as well.

For passwords, goto the URL opera://settings/passwords and click the kebab menu (3 vertical dots) to the right of "Saved Passwords" and export your passwords to a csv file. You can then import them (using the same menu) into other Chromium-based browsers or another Opera if you enable the flag chrome://flags/#PasswordImport. For Firefox though, you'd have to import the csv file into the new Microsoft Edge or Chrome and then import from them using Firefox's import option in the meatball menu (3 horizontal dots) at the URL about:login, or use a 3rd-party tool or extension.

For general settings, I don't know of a solution exception copying over profile files to another Chromium-based browser.

The start page is meant to be your homepage. Each Speed Dial on the start page is meant to be a separate homepage button. The start page button on the address bar is a homepage button because the start page is your homepage.

You can install https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/home-button-at-top-right/bfejcgpdahgpmgadhgdadfiekmhgnifm to add a home button to the address bar. In its options, you can set what page it loads when you click it.

This was happening to someone recently and it was caused by a Bass Boost extension.

Speed Dial entries are stored with your bookmarks, so you can just back up your bookmarks by exporting them and Speed Dial entries will be backed up too. Goto the URL opera://bookmarks and use the import/export drop-down at the bottom-left of the page.
