Opera 97.0.4719.28 MacOS Ventura 13.2.1 (M1)

I first noticed with this update that the Print function didn't work from a web page in Opera. The only way to make it work was to select Print Using System Dialog from the Print panel. Not very user-friendly. I did check with Chrome and Safari and they both worked fine.

Then I noticed that Bitwarden would not auto-fill. I could log in and find items in the vault, but it would not auto-fill. Once again, tested in Safari and Chrome and it worked fine.

I noticed other problems, notably Tab Suspender had stopped suspending tabs and Printlimator completely stopped working.

I did disable and re-enable extensions. I removed Bitwarden and reinstalled. No change.

So I installed an older version - 96.0.4693.31 - which is working fine. All of the above problems are gone. However, it could not open any of the existing tabs and I had to launch a new browser window and cut and paste each tab, a bit of a pain as I usually have at least 30 open and being used.

My biggest concern is that Opera will update the next time I have to reboot and I want to prevent that until I know that things are fine.

@seantpg Same problem. I reported it a while ago and nothing has changed. However, oddly, it seems to work on regular Opera for Mac but not on Opera One.

@nintendork07 Most browsers seem to be having trouble from the reports I've seen.

@whataboutwolves

Sounds like it is time for a bug report given the lack of acknowledgement here.

I'm not all that bothered by using an earlier version except that it is set to auto-update when closed and reopened. Hopefully I won't have to do that until it's fixed.

Opera keeps trying to update to .250. I get a popup that says "'Applications Opera' is damaged and can't be opened. You should move it to the Bin." Tried it three times.

Mac Mini M1, MacOS 11.3

@spike666 So I had to restart Opera and it auto-updated to 4719.43. Miraculously, everything seems to be fixed. I haven't tried every situation, but the printing is restored and the main extension I use that has to access URLs (Bitwarden) works. A non-native (Google) app that sends URLs to email also works. So it looks like it may have been solved. Hopefully it will work for more than a day.

Many of my extensions and printing a web page all stopped working. I reported this as a bug and on the Opera Forums but have heard nothing. It appears to happen when the extension needs to access a URL.

@max1c So your saying that people who have different experiences than you should not report them. Complaints only isn't going to fix anything.

@sklunk I did it, everything is fine. Restarted Opera twice and my computer (Mac) once just to see that it was all there. I wasn't too worried, despite what some people say, the old profile is there even with the older 102 update. I did save all the profile stuff fresh just in case.

@andrew84: It's in the section called Start page in the Settings. That might be why it's not obvious, there's no reference to "home," but the button comes back with the "Show Start page button" setting.

@kilogulf59 Here you go - https://imgur.com/a/Q8I3JIK Not sure why it's working fine for me and not for you. It's also in the sidebar, as I mentioned.

@kilogulf59 Odd, I don't know what would cause that.

Flow and sync turn off constantly. Lately, it's been around 10 minutes until they stop working. MacOS 14.2.1

@spike666: And when sync turns off, I have to log in and then go put my preferences (I use Custom) in again.

@tophsinex: I'm at 36 hours since I last connected to My Flow and no problems. Seems that using the web page rather than the sidebar to connect solves the problem. Mac 14.3

@korol78: Works for me. What platform are you on?

@kened: I have had the Opera ad blocker turned off for a long time and just use ublock origin. I never get ads on the desktop. I do get ads on mobile and on my TV when using youtube.

I must be missing something. I watched the videos but when I try to take out the music player, it doesn't go anywhere. When I try to split tabs, the second tab won't move. Either it becomes the primary tab or it moves to another place on the tab bar. Is there a trick that isn't in the videos?
