@leocg And that's a good thing, – mutual support – and very welcome! But nevertheless, it's unusual for a large organisation not to offer more personalised support; digging around I found a few email addresses, like the Opera Desktop Team, but none of them reply to individual messages.

I am fairly computer literate, but many are not, and some of the 'solutions' are beyond the capabilities of most of us! So in that respect, people like you who are so helpful are greatly appreciated – and much needed in the absence of any official support from Opera.

@leocg Thank you, I've just done that, so we'll see what happens! Thanks again for your help...

@leocg I've tried any solutions I could find, but none have fixed the bug (which it clearly is. But thank you for replying, I appreciate you taking the time.

I have tried and tried to get an answer about the annoying 'Extension upgrade...permissions' popup, but no one in technical support or customer services seems interested in Opera users. So it's time to move back to Chrome or Firefox. Such a disappointment, as I like everything else about the browser.

Every time I browse there is a very annoying popup saying "The extension update requires additional permissions etc". I am thinking of moving to Chrome or Firefox if it can't be fixed.
