Hit ctrl + a to select them all, hit ctrl + c to copy them. Then, go into the "Speed dial" folder and hit ctrl + v to paste those copies.

@burnout426 Testing, I don't think it will help.

What if you drag the shortcuts that you create on your desktop to the taskbar (and keep the desktop shortcuts there)? Does that make the taskbar buttons behave as expected?

Opera Developer has Bluesky by default now. Maybe the support will eventually trickle down to Opera GX.

Creating thread.

Sounds like a file permission issue. What operating system are you on?

Goto the URL opera://bookmarks and look in the trash. If you see them there, you can hover over each one and choose "undo delete". Or, you can select one (or all), cut and paste them back in the "Speed dial" folder.

If you're syncing bookmarks with your phone, look at opera://bookmarks again for an "Other speed dials" folder to see the speeds from your phone. You can then select, copy and paste them into the "Speed dial" folder.

Besides those things, you'd need a backup.

There's a post about this at https://www.reddit.com/r/browsers/comments/1i310jj/comment/mc00dle/ that says disabling Nord's Antimalware function, Surf protection and Ad + Tracker blocker avoids the issue. Not sure if disabling all of them are needed or not.

With that said, check Nord's settings for those parts or Nord's settings in general to see if there's some exception list you can add to Opera. Also, it'd probably be good to post in the Nord community to see if they can reproduce the issue and see what Nord is doing wrong.

Click the Easy-Setup button on the right side of the address bar, scroll down to the "Start page" section and set "Speed dial effect" to none.

Opera, like all Chromium-based browsers, separates all kinds of tasks into processes. So, the process count itself is normal.

Does a test standalone installation have the same slowness though or does it search fast like it's supposed to?

Opera/Chromium makes use of the root/os_crypt/encrypted_key value in the "Local State" file in some way. I don't know how exactly that's generated/salted/hashed etc. based on your OS login info, but on Windows for example, I think it uses CryptProtectData. Also, see https://tierzerosecurity.co.nz/2024/01/22/data-protection-windows-api.html. But, not sure what exact entropy is given to it. For macOS, it uses the macOS key chain. For Linux, it uses a certain API depending on the desktop environment. See https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src.git/+/refs/heads/main/docs/linux/password_storage.md for example.

For Linux, you can take a look at posts like https://stackoverflow.com/questions/23201146/how-to-decrypt-data-which-is-crypted-by-cryptprotectdata-function and https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/1coiu2g/how_does_chrome_encrypt_users_passwords_etc_on/.

Looking at https://ohyicong.medium.com/how-to-hack-chrome-password-with-python-1bedc167be3d might explain things the best for how to use the encrypted key the the Login State file and the password data for an entry in Login Data and AES to decrypt a password.

You could disable "Enable creating a split screen by drag and drop" at the URL opera://settings/splitScreen to hopefully avoid triggering split screen accidentally. Not sure if it'll help with a more direct route of dragging to a folder though.

If you can figure out how to launch the Opera app with the --user-data-dir=pathtofolderyouwant command-line switch, you can create a script or shortcut for each profile you want. See https://www.reddit.com/r/operabrowser/wiki/opera/new_profile/#wiki_create_multiple_profiles_for_opera for examples for Windows to get the idea. Then, see https://forums.opera.com/post/369720 and the comments that follow for some ideas how to do that on macOS.

Check at the URL opera://settings/handlers. You might have mail.google.com set as the default for mailto links in Opera. If so, you should be able to remove that handler.

@sdfgvfdrvhdfg Using https://sqlitestudio.pl/ for example, "add database", point it to "Login Data", right-click the database, choose "connect" and then double-left-click on the "Logins" table. Then, switch to the "data" tab in the right-hand pane.

For example, I see v10 before password values. Do yours have an older version? Maybe the password-manager page is picky about version where as autofill is not. Would be weird, but, you could compare to a fresh Login Data file.

You can also expand the Columns for the "Logins" table and compare with a fresh Login Data to see if the number of columns is different. If so, maybe the password-manager page is picky about that.

Ultimately, I don't know though.

That fixed the extension. However, testing on Windows 11 23H2, clicking at https://www.example.com/ wasn't triggering a notification at all in Opera.

However, I noticed that Opera wasn't listed in "Settings -> System -> Notifications" in Windows, so I went to https://cleverpush.com/en/test-notifications/, clicked "Greetings", chose "allow" and clicked "Greetings" again to show a notification in Opera and that added Opera to the notification settings in Windows.

Then, I cleared notifications by clicking the clock in the Windows systray to bring up notifications and clicked "Clear".

Then, I tried your extension in Opera again and clicking on the https://www.example.com/ page starting working and showing the notification. Clicking "open" on the notification doesn't do anything though. I don't think the ButtonClicked event is firing for some reason in Opera, just like you said. According to https://help.opera.com/en/extensions/apis/, Opera does have some limitations on the notifications API, but nothing specific to the firing of the event.

I also deleted all entries from "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Notifications\Settings" in the registry and restarted Opera. Even though Opera was no longer listed in the Windows notification settings, your notification popup was still showing up.

So, there's definitely some quirkyness going on there. But yes, I can confirm the event listener issue in Opera. Sounds like a bug to me.

@kophaiem79 I get:

Unchecked runtime.lastError: Some of the required

when clicking on the example.com page (in Chrome too).

Can you get to opera.com via https://185.26.182.103/ (clicking "Help me understand" and clicking "Proceed") or via http://185.26.182.103/?
