URL search doesn't work
It use to be: new window > search phrase > Enter and you would get results from default search engine. Now it doesn't do anything.
Even if I use keyword from other search engine, I don't get any results.
It's same behavior on two different computers.

^^^ Please. Thanks

Quick Launch

What Windows are you using? "Quick Launch" implies WinXP, but "pin my Opera to "Taskbar" implies Win7 or newer.

Also, I see Opera is installed in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Opera". The x86 implies that you're on 64-bit windows, but have 32-bit Opera installed. Is that correct?

I don't want programs pined to Taskbar

Okay.

last time Opera updated, it pined it self on Taskbar. Is it possible there is some connection?

It's possible, yes.

Even if i use this desktop icon, i get right click menu.

Could you clarify? Are you saying that when you double-left-click the Opera's desktop shortcut, it's as if you right-clicked it and went to properties?

1. Windows 10 can have Quick Launch and pined programs to Taskbar
2. Windows 10 Version 1909 (OS Build 18363.476), 64 bit; I have Opera 65.0.3467.62; can't find if it's 32 or 64 bit.
3. When I use newly created shortcut (by Opera each time I start Opera) that is on the Desktop, over the Desktop Opera shortcut appears right click contexts menu. Same happens if I use Quick Launch shortcut

After today's update, my "problem" is gone.

@shutter
Since same extension still works in Chrome, is it possible you can fix this for Opera?
Thanks

@leocg Thank you

@leocg Didn't happened again with extensions disabled or enabled.
Question still remain if this could be one time "feature"?

@leocg I don't have any extension from them and I have Avast Premium Security running.

Today after I restarted Opera, next to tabs from previous shutdown also opened this https://addoncrop.com/en/
Is this intentional behavior from Opera?

@leocg Currently none of the applications or services have that PID. Can I find log of this somewhere?

@burnout426 My browser was off when firewall notification came up

What is PID 9280 and why it needs internet

Thanks

SOB... finally got the passphrase I used and sync is working on my new PC....
I was almost 99% I have tried it before, but 100% not, since now it works
I went systematic over all the possibilities and finally "find" right "word".

Thanks to all who tried to help me!
