Thanks for the reply. Since it's called "cache", I figured it was not essential. A new folder was created when V restarted, but there's nothing in it yet.

When I noticed that all the .config/Default/..com* files are 2-8 months old, I decided to try deleting [renaming] them. There is no noticeable effect so far. I'm still curious about their purpose.

My preoccupation with clean profiles comes from running V on old computers 🙂

LOL, silly me XD Restarting did the job. Thank you 😁

hello and good day

did it

This might be useful to people here. The lib from Slack Desktop works on older distros

@pathduck
History is set to 1 year and activating the history shows a years worth of links.

I never use a private window.

I had looked at the link you suggested earlier and found it not applicable as my save browsing history is set to a year. 🙂

My method of doing a clean install is renaming the profile folder (~/.config/vivaldi in debian) and letting the system generate a new one when I start vivaldi. This allows easy switching between new and old for testing. I think this is the same as what you suggested. I will look at guest-view to see if it can add anything..

Thanks for your input.

@pafflick Thanks. It's still occurring on some windows when loading them. I haven't noticed it happening again though once it works or when switching tabs. Perhaps my issue is just too many windows now.

The issue with outdated key was fixed yesterday evening.

Great! With the dconf-editor I have changed "org/gnome/desktop/wm/preferences/focus-mode" from 'click' to 'sloppy'. And it works.

@tyojp So far I haven't found any side effects. It works fine for me. Thank you.

@gjar said in Problem with personal data transfer from Firfox to Vivaldi.:

Does this Vivaldi behavior have to do with asking for a password before first boot after logging into the system (linux mint 20.02)?

Hi, I guess yes, Vivaldi use Keyring or Kwallet to encrypt passwords.
If you don´t have setup one Vivaldi cant decrypt and the password list is empty after restart.
This should not influence bookmarks, iirc.
All Chromium browser use this system, may you can try to import to Chromium and if you get the same issue you have to setup a working keyring system once.
Auto login also plays a role if you use it.

Cheers, mib

nobody looks @ "file" whenyou want to export bookmarks. The natural place would bein the bookmarks context menue.

And please add the ability to export part of the bookmark tree (i.e. a folder and it's subfolders) Then it is obvious it has to be in the context menue ...

@mick99 Page looks fine for me, make sure no extensions interfere. Make sure to test with different window widths. The page has a silly layout with 3 columns which gravitate towards the left side the narrower the window becomes, until it switches over to a 1 column layout.

Has anyone encountered this problem?
Or is it just a small number of Linux users?

It's only a few seconds, but it's still stressful that the keyboard doesn't work.

https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/10388/refreshing-or-cleaning-your-profile

I've tried cleaning with the above method and disabling all Extensions, but it still doesn't accept keyboard actions while the page is loading in the new tab.

@ayespy I had that experience on my Linux laptop:

It was installing an update, and said that it needed to restart to finish installing it. I clicked "Restart Now". Seems restarting interrupted the installation of other updates, and broke the operating system.

In other words: My Linux computer seems to lack a fail-safe, to keep it from restarting during times when it really shouldn't restart.

@doctorg said in vivaldi (and chromium) connects to wrong URL (FF does it right):

@michaa7 I tested on siduction and always got the correct redirect. I am sorry, but can not reopruce our issue. I do not know what wrong on your installation. I can not help much as Siduction is not my preferred OS.

Thanks anyway. At least I have now a screenrecorder installed an know how to use it in such cases 😉

May be an other user could help you more.

Maybe ...

The fastest way is to reinstall Vivaldi. Why? In forum we had users with broken installations/updates.

I doubt it as now (see below) the problem seems not direcly caused by my vivaldi settings (different linux user account with fresh vivaldi user settings and/or new profile didn'd avoid the problem.

Ad i would check in a extra Linux user account and in a Vivaldi profile which does not use extensions or settings.

I now discoverd that the problem seems connected to my WM fluxbox. It does not occur when I use the lxqt DE on the very same installation. So this is a little progress in narrowing down the problem.

But as to me it seems nearly impossible to investigate how whatever fluxbox setting may influence a click in a submenue I'd be thankfull to whoever may have an idea ...

Maybe i need to ask in a fluxbox or the siduction forum ...

@pathduck
AH OK, no idea where these "Button" idea came from, you are correct.

Thank you for the heads up, mib

@eggcorn I'll use one of these for the time being, thanks.

Worksforme™ with Snapshot.

Just tested and works like a charm. Drag to desktop and get the popup menu with options like I should. I knew the code was in there.

I figured one of the devs would of weighed in on this post by now considering drag and drop to the desktop works in Snapshot as it should but not in Stable.

Bug report: VB-86271

For Chrome I would even understand it as it is phoning home telling your most private movements. 🕵 But vivaldi has cut that "functionality". I will go and compare FF.
