Hello,

For around 2 or 3 weeks now every time my computer restarts Opera GX will log me out my sync account as well flow and have me log back to sync passwords, settings and the stuff I have on flow.

I have not changed any settings on Opera or my PC in a while so I am certain it was not something I did that is causing this.
The issue is getting pretty annoying because every time I need flow or I think a password I saved on my PC will be on my Phone I realize it logged me out and nothing is synced.

Currently on Opera GX LV 4 Core 93.0.4585.84 on Windows 11 22H2 22621.1105

So Opera has now decided to block the flash plugin without the user consent and even though there is an option to unblock, it does reset every time you close the browser.
Is there a way around this? I don't care if flash is dead or dangerous, some websites I use daily still make use of it and this mandatory setting is being super inconvenient.
I want to be able to choose my settings to suit my needs and not have it reset every time I close the browser. Contrary to what Opera thinks, it doesn't know what is better for me, only I know that.

Ever since the last Windows Update I'm having this issue on Opera and Firefox (but not on Chrome or Edge).
Is anyone having the same issue?

@mrwmadavis they never are. moderators only post here when someone posts something they can warn about, but regarding real issues they either ignore or post saying it's working as intended for them.

I am also having this on Opera 53.0.2907.37

Hello,

My browser updated to the version 52.0.2871.99 yesterday I think and even though I have disabled the "flow" thing which is useless to me I am still feeling the browser to be slower than before, taking longer to load pages and switch between tabs, such thing has never happened before.

Also every time I close the browser it opens again as "SleepDetectorServi..." and closes immediately (in fact, it does this so quickly I had to record the screen with ReLive and open the video on Vegas Pro to watch frame-by-frame to see what was written on it.

And the worst problem: On Facebook if i close a messenger chat I cannot open it again, I have to completely close the browser, only then I can click on the person I want to chat again to re-open the chat. Also if I open a second chat both of them close at the same time and I can't open them anymore until I do what I mentioned above.
That particular issue doesn't happen on Firefox, which I also have installed here.

No other sites i've checked so far seem to have any particular issues except for the overall browser "slowness".

I am unsure what I can add here to help solve or track the issue, so I'll say what I think it might be relevant:

• Opera version is 52.0.2871.99.
• Extensions I have installed are Ublock Origins, NoCoin and No-Script Suite Lite (the 3 are disabled on Facebook, so they are not causing the issue).
• I am using Windows 10 Pro X64 (latest updates)
• My CPU is a Core i5 7600k and my GPU is an AMD Radeon R9 380, I am using the latest AMD Adrenalin 18.4.1 drivers.

Edit: I went ahead and completely wiped the browser just to make sure and with all data cleaned the issue still persist.

Ok, since opera went to version 35.0.2066.37 it's almost impossible to use it.

I'm almost switching over to chrome since it's been weeks and nothing seem to be made to fix it.
Everyone I know who's using this version of opera is having sudden crashes ALL THE TIME under windowes 10.
We're browsing and the browser simply freezes, if audio is playing you can still listen to it, but you can't do anything else, you need to force close the browser and start again, it's not even saving tabs.

This is making the usage of this browser extremely frustrating, up to the point that after years using it, i'm considering chaging to another browser until this crap is fixed.

I see on facebook and even here that many others are having this same issue and there isn't a soul form opera's team to shed a light on this breaking issue.

I installed .25 now using the offline instaler instead of the online one and it's all normal now.
That was a really weird error lol

Weird O.o
now you guys mentioned, my number is really different lol
And all I did was to download the online installer from opera.com and it installed the browser as usual, i don't know why it downloaded this .46, I'm downloading the offline installer for the .25

They did improve it quite nicely, specialy compared to Opera 31 which was crashing a lot.
Now I can use whatsapp web again.

I'm only trying to understand what happened to the bookmarks manager.

Hello again friends,

So, yesterday I had a issue with my PC that forced me to completely wipe me HDD and install windows again, after I finished everything I went to opera's site and downloaded the last version (32.0.1948.46), installed and loged in with my account to sync my favs, which worked fine, I got all my passwords, favourites on bookmark bars and etc, BUT the option to save new bookmarks (either by clicking the little heart on the adress bar or pressing ctrl + d) simply dissapeared, also the option on the drop down menu is also gone, so I can't save or open bookmarks anymore, only the ones on my bookmarks bar.

Here is a screenshot to show what I mean:

If I press the bookmark shortcut (ctrl + shift + b) it just gives me this error:
http://i.imgur.com/2179kfK.png

As you can see, I don't have any options to open my bookmarks on the left menu nor the bookmark option that was supposed to be at the right end of the adress bar, even the shortcut doesn't work.

How can I fix that?

Thanks in advance,
Felipe.

It does seem that disabling hardware acceleration did solve the random crash issue on most sites, but it's still impossible to use whatsapp web (it'll crash on the same moment I receive a message).
For most other sites it seems fine now.

I have been having crashing issues since the very first day of the 31 Update.

Have you tried with hardware acceleration disabled?

Yes. I have it disabled right now and the browser just crashed.

Tryied to edit the reply above, it wouldn't let me<

After the crashes continue I did try the following:

Completely uninstalled Opera using IOBit Uninstaller to make sure to remove all registry and temp files.
Cleaned temp files and registry with CCleaner to REALLY make sure.
Made a fresh install of Opera, downloading a new installer and not using one I previously had on my PC.
Ran it without any extensions.

Crashes are still the same..

Just realized something I didn't before.
Other than the issues getting somehow worse (it's crashing more frequently for some reason, even while the browser is open on start page while i'm playing some other thing in fullscreen it crashes), the main issue seems to be occuring with WhatsApp.
I was having a conversation with my friend just now on Whatsapp and each message I received from him, crashed opera, it happened after every message.

Have you enabled any flags by chance?

No, flags are on their default settings.

Update:

After disabling things on browser://plugin, the browser still crashes. In fact i've had 3 crashes in a matter of minutes with flash disabled.

Sadly I'll have to switch to another browser while this is not fixed, because this is getting really annoying

I do, I've posted about it yesterday.

https://forums.opera.com/topic/11434/opera-is-crashing-very-often-after-31-0-1889-174-update/7

It's happening mostly on whatsapp and facebook, but as I said there, it's happening on pretty much any site, these two are only more frequent.

Does Opera generates any kind of log that might help identify why is the browser crashing?

It should generate crash logs.

Any idea where I can find these logs? I couldn't find them on Opera folders.

Try turning of the Flash plugin
browser://plugins
click disable
I've had a lot of problems with flash and Opera 31 on widows 10 pro x64 turns out it's opera because flash runs fine in edge and FF and Pale Moon x64

I have noticed that Opera "imports" quite a few things off Google Chrome for some reason.
Things like Google Update and some other stuff that was installed on my Chrome and I don't recall installing on Opera.
I disabled everything I don't use and flash. Now I have to see if it'll crash.
