@ali91 That sounds like an Opera GPU or hardware acceleration issue, especially since it only happens while Opera is open. I’d try turning off hardware acceleration in Opera and restarting it to see if the mouse stops glitching. If that fixes it, it’s probably worth checking the GPU driver too.

@ghassanopera You may want to check the Cold Turkey installation page directly rather than searching the Opera add-ons store. Cold Turkey uses a specific Opera extension, and it may not appear in the normal Opera add-ons search because it is an unlisted extension.

Try this:

Go to the official Cold Turkey Opera extension page.
Install the Opera version from there, not the Chrome Web Store version.
After installing, open Opera and go to:
opera://extensions
Make sure Cold Turkey is enabled and has the required permissions (especially site access).

Opera can run many Chrome Web Store extensions with the proper add-on installed, but some extensions have separate Opera versions because they depend on browser-specific behavior.

If it still doesn't detect the extension, I'd reinstall the Cold Turkey desktop app as well, since the browser extension and the app need to communicate with each other.

If you no longer have access to the authenticator app and don't have the backup codes, the usual 2FA recovery options are limited. Having access to the email and Google account helps prove ownership, but it may not bypass the 2FA requirement.

I'd first check if the old authenticator account can be restored from a backup (some authenticator apps support cloud sync). Also check if you are still logged in to Opera on any other device, since you may be able to access account settings from there and update your security options.

If neither option works, your best bet is to contact Opera support through the official channels and explain the situation. Avoid posting your email or account details publicly on the forum. Only provide account information through a verified support request.

Yeah, I can see why that’d be confusing. If the new-tab button puts tabs at the top, I’d expect tabs opened from links to follow the same rule. Having them open in different directions depending on how they were created feels unnecessarily inconsistent.

@SankiNoto

Looks like a Store-side restriction rather than a problem with the MP4. Someone else has reported the same error with splash screens and other mod features under Schema v2. I'd ask the GX team whether those features need approval before publishing. If it works unpacked and uploads once you remove splash_screen, I'd wait for confirmation before spending more time rewriting the manifest

@NatureWithGreenWorld

Don't reset it just yet. If Opera is still working on your PC, make a backup of your bookmarks and export your saved passwords somewhere safe first. Opera says resetting the sync passphrase removes synced data from its servers, but data already stored locally stays on the device. Unfortunately, if you've forgotten the custom passphrase, Opera says you'll need to reset sync data to start syncing again. I'd protect what's on the PC before doing anything else. Opera's official explanation.

@11swans said in Updates Not Launching:

I update, but am immediately told that my update is ready. Over and over again. It's rather annoying. Thjis has been going on for a while. What can/should I do?

That sounds like the update is failing to complete, so Opera keeps detecting the same update over and over. I’d try completely restarting the computer first, then running Opera as administrator and checking for a pending update. If it still loops, a reinstall of Opera may fix the updater without affecting your profile data.

@mask-z Glad to know! cheers mate!

@mask-z said in Opera GX keeps freezing:

Since the new update I'm having the issue that Opera GX keeps freezing when trying to load YouTube videos or Twitch streams. It doesn't unfreeze no matter how long I wait. Nothing responds. I have to manually close the browser with Task Manager.
Everything else seems to work, just the video websites seem like causing the issue

I’d try disabling hardware acceleration first, since the freezing only happens on video sites. Also test without extensions or in a private window to see if something is interfering with YouTube/Twitch.

Yeah, a dedicated grab area would be useful. The new tabs take up that space, and it’s surprisingly awkward when you’re trying to move or snap the window.
