I'll try a little "bump" here...

Hoping for a solution to this, I'm sure I can't be the only one out there who has experienced something like this...?

Hello!

I'm having a relatively minor issue that I have been unable to find any answer to anywhere, even after countless Google searches. Therefore I've decided to try to make a post here and see if anyone has a solution.

(I'm currently using build 36.0.2130.65 on Windows 10, but this issue has persisted through many versions.)

The issue can be a bit hard to describe, but I'll do my best: The site in question does not have its own favicon (i.e. when adding it to the bookmarks bar, the only icon that is supposed to show up is the default gray/black "square"). However, a while ago I logged into a WiFi in a hotel where I had to go to a separate web site to perform an authentication. I had the web site in question open in its own tab in Opera. After I had finished the authentication, the other web site had "adopted" the favicon from the hotel authentication site. I assumed it would go back to normal when I restarted Opera and reloaded the web site, but this did not happen. This means I'm now stuck with a web site with a "false" favicon.

This is a minor issue, I know, but it's a bit annoying not to be able to fix it. The closest I have come to finding a solution is to delete the favicon.ico file and open every web site in my bookmarks bar one by one to manually reload all favicons. I have quite a lot of bookmarks, however, so I was hoping there might be a simpler solution to this problem?

Thanks in advance, have a great day!

@supertommyy,

Wow, thanks a LOT! That actually fixed it! :yes:

Glad to hear it's nothing more serious, at least!

Thanks again, have a great day! And thanks to everyone else who has tried to help me out here!

@idrin,

Thank you for your input! I tried adding both of those environment variables, and then deliberately provoked Opera to crash a couple of times, but no E-mail is sent to me, and nothing is generated in the Temp folder (I can find the file opera_crashreporter.txt there, but it's empty).

To me it seems like Opera just closes down "normally" when a download is being initiated, and that it's not registering as a crash/error...

Hello again!

No ideas at all?

I've checked the Event Viewer several times, but this crash does not seem to trigger anything that causes an event to be created there...

idrin: Yes, it still happens after upgrading to version 32.

In a way it's nice to hear that others are experiencing the same problem - it's nice to know I'm not alone! Hopefully some solution will turn up, it's a hassle having to copy-paste all download links into Edge to be able to download anything...

Hello, lando242!

I tried looking through the Event Viewer right after provoking Opera to crash, but I can't find any entries that seem to relate to Opera. Either I'm looking in the wrong place, or whatever is happening either does not register in the log or is related to some driver/software outside of Opera.

Are there any other places where I could hope to find any error data?

Hello!

Ever since I upgraded Opera to version 31 on both my computers (laptop and desktop), I can't download files any more. Every single time I start a download, Opera crashes to desktop. This started happening under Windows 8.1 on both computers, and still remains after upgrading to Windows 10. I've tried a clean re-install of Opera on one of the computers with no success. Upgrading to version 32 (the latest build) did not help either.

This is getting really frustrating, and if I can't find a fix I'll have to find another web browser to use, as the ability to download files is quite fundamental...

Does anybody have similar experiences, and perhaps a solution for me?

Thanks in advance!
