Do more on the web, with a fast and secure browser!
Download Opera browser with:
As a test, does Opera start it fine with a test profile?:
opera --user-data-dir=~/Desktop/operatest
What about with?:
opera --disable-gpu
Are you using the regular deb package (it looks like it) or the flatpak package or the snap package?
Are you starting Opera with any other command-line arguments?
Do you get the same issue with Chromium 152.0.7977.134 or newer?
@i5513 It's not public.
@mystatus said in SASSA status check page not loading properly in Opera:
That loads some "Love encounters" site for me here in the U.S.
https://srd.sassa.gov.za/ on the other hand loads some "The Social Relief of Distress Grant" site.
They both at least load for me though.
If you have created an Opera account at https://auth.opera.com/, logging in just means that you log in to your Opera account via that website (either directly via the web page or indirectly via the Opera browser's UI). Opera (the browser) can then detect that you're logged in to that website to show your Opera account profile icon and to show you options for Opera Sync for example. So, when a user refers to "loggin in to Opera" or "logging in to the browser", that's what they mean.
Just using the Opera browser itself doesn't require logging in to an Opera account unless you use Opera Sync for example.
If you're getting a notification from Opera to the email address you have associated with your Opera account, then that just means that you haven't logged in to the website in so long that Opera is going to delete your account because you haven't used it in so long. So, all you have to do is open up a tab in Opera, type https://auth.opera.com/, press enter and log in to your Opera account to keep it active and reset the counter. You don't have to though if you don't care about your Opera account and just want to let it expire.
As said, you first have to make sure you have "Retain tabs from previous session" set at the URL opera://settings/onStartup before the crash happens. Then...
If Opera starts up and you notice your tabs are missing, keep Opera open, goto the URL opera://about and take note of the "profile" path.
Then, in Windows Explorer (File Explorer), with "file extensions" and "hidden items" enabled under "View -> Show", go in your profile folder ("C:\Users\yourusename\AppData\Roaming\Opera Software\Opera Stable\Default" for example), right-click the "Sessions" folder, choose "copy", right-click on a blank spot on your desktop and "choose" paste.
Then, close Opera.
Then, delete everything in the "Sessions" folder in your profile folder. Then, in the "Sessions" folder on your desktop, select the Session_xxx file with the oldest timestamp and the Tabs_xxx file with the oldest timestamp, copy the selection and paste in the now-empty "Sessions" folder in your profile folder.
That should get you your last known good session back and therefore your tabs back.
If you close Opera before copying the "Sessions" folder though, you'll usually be out of luck though as the oldest session files will be deleted. But, you can try the method above anyway just to see.
Note though that because of issues like this, Opera has a new feature that might help recover your good session in cases like this. To enable it, you can goto the URL opera://settings/early_bird, turn on Early Bird and enable just "Emergency session restore" and restart Opera. No guarantees it will always help though.
Because open tabs and sessions are so volatile, it's a good idea to make regular backups of your "Sessions" folder (while Opera is closed) and date those backups so you know which one is the newest. You can regularly run my powershell script at https://www.reddit.com/r/operabrowser/comments/1qorutx/comment/o2ctael/ while Opera is closed to automate that if you like.
Another way to back up your open tabs is to right-click a tab, goto "Save" and choose "all tabs to a speed dial folder". Then, repeat for all other workspaces and windows. You can then rename those speed dial folders to show what workspace and window they're for and what date and time they were created. Then, if you ever need to, you can right-click one of the folders and choose "open all in tabs" to get your tabs back. This method is not tab-island and split-screen-aware though.
It's a known issue. Fix should be coming some time soon.
If (only happens sometimes) you goto the URL opera://about or opera://update to check for updates and after an update's download is finished you get a Windows dialog from the Opera installer asking if you want to install the update, close Opera before choosing OK or Yes on that dialog. Otherwise, the update can fail because Opera is open.
Another thing you can try when you don't get that dialog (which is most of the time) is after the "relaunch" button appears on the update/about page, wait 30 seconds or more before clicking it. Or, if you have a hard drive activity light that you can watch, you can wait till it settles down to know when Opera is really ready to relaunch.
Another thing you can try is to not click "relaunch" on the page and instead close that page, close Opera yourself, wait 30 seconds and start Opera yourself. Sometimes having the update or about page open and checking for updates when Opera starts can mess with things.
Another thing you can try is if you restart Opera and it's still the old version is to just close Opera and start it up again.
Long story short, things work fine most of the time, but updating can be a little quirky in some rare cases.
If all that fails, you can download the offline installer ("Opera_136.0.6008.80_Setup_x64.exe" from https://ftp.opera.com/pub/opera/desktop/136.0.6008.80/win/ is the latest for regular Opera at this moment), close Opera, uninstall Opera (but do not choose to delete your data when uninstalling), delete the install folder afterwards (the "Opera" folder in "C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Local\Programs" or "C:\Program Files" depending on whether you had a current-user install or an all-user install), launch the installer, click "options", adjust everything how you like and install. That should fix things.
This issue is being tracked as DNA-125850 now.
@diazeta Does the shortcut work in 136.0.6008.80?
@urimus I don't think Opera has done any specific fixes for this issue. Seems it's just partially fixed due to Chromium updates or some other fix.
@NatureWithGreenWorld If you search for session in https://blogs.opera.com/desktop/changelog-for-136/, https://blogs.opera.com/desktop/changelog-for-137/ and https://blogs.opera.com/desktop/changelog-for-138/, Opera has been working on some session fixes. In Opera stable, you can turn on Early Bird at the URL opera://settings/early_bird and enable "Emergency session restore" to see if it helps prevent your tabs getting reset next time.
You can goto the URL opera://settings/userInterface and disable "Show tabs from the same domain in tab tooltip". It'll disable that feature in the tab tooltip. It won't disable the tab tooltip itself though.
You can fake it for now. See https://www.reddit.com/r/operabrowser/wiki/opera/custom_site_panels/ and then use opera://easy-setup or opera://settings or a specific section of settings like opera://settings/appearance.
For some of those, you'll want to make the panel wider so you can see enough of the page.
For now you can fake it. See https://www.reddit.com/r/operabrowser/wiki/opera/custom_site_panels/ and then use opera://password-manager/passwords or opera://password-manager/settings depending on which you want to load.
Note that you'll want to increase the width of the panel until both the left and right panes on the page show.
After you goto the URL opera://settings/importData, choose "Bookmarks HTML file" and point it to the HTML file with your bookmarks, you need to goto the URL opera://bookmarks in a tab.
On the opera://bookmarks page, find your imported bookmarks. They might be in the root of the "Bookmarks Bar" folder or in an "Imported Bookmarks" folder in the "Bookmarks bar" folder. Wherever they're at, just like in Windows Explorer (File explorer), you can select (one, many or all), cut or copy, and paste from one folder to another to move or copy items. Shortcuts like ctrl + a, ctrl + x, ctrl + c and ctrl + v work too.
As for the imported speed dials, they should be somewhere on the opera://bookmarks page (in an "other speed dials" folder or something) where you can select and move them to the main "Speed Dial" folder. Then they should show up on the start page.
@nefloppa117 and chose a different language in the installer?
As a workaround, you can close Opera and edit the "Local State" file in "C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Roaming\Opera Software\Opera Stable" with a text editor or JSONedit in tree mode.
Under location, you can change the country and country_from_server values from their current country code to US for example and save your changes.
Opera must be properly closed and not running when you open the "Local State" file and edit it. Otherwise, your changes will be reverted.
@burnout426 said in Opera 136 Stable:
Or, you can install https://addons.opera.com/en/extensions/details/classic-tabs/. It has an option to focus tabs when opening a link in a new tab. Unfortunately, the options page in the extension is broken in Opera 136 due to some JS error.
Made a fixed version of the extension to work with Opera 136. See https://forums.opera.com/post/409871 for the link.
I added a workaround to this extension to make it work in Opera 136 and newer. You can download it here (download button near top left of page), extract it to a folder and read the readme.txt.
