Unable to Download More Than One File Without Restart
-
I've been using Vivaldi as my main browser for about 2 years now. I ran into a weird issue a few months ago that has become extremely irritating.
Once I download a file on a webpage, that's it. I can download files anymore. I have to restart my entire browser and download any other file if I want more than one from any site.
I didn't download files very often but in the last month my workflows have changed and this is becoming a big issue.
I have tried removing all of the finished files from my download list (helps sometimes), I have cleared out my cache (helped sometimes), I've cut my extensions down to just the ones I need (Bitwarden, Dark Reader, uBlock Origin, HTTPS Everywhere) and nothing seems to help beyond a temporary period.
I've also noticed that at times when I click on the Vivaldi button in the top left of my window there is nothing.. no menus, no data, zilch. I don't know if this is related.
Can anyone help me out? I am using Vivaldi Version 3.3.2022.47 (Stable channel) (64-bit) on Linux.
Thank you!

Have you tested in a clean/new profile yet?
See Troubleshooting Issues for more info.

This annoyance has also been occurring to me for several months. Note though that i don't need to d/l stuff [in V] very often, so i cannot say if the problem has existed continuously or not. Rather than close + relaunch, my workaround was simply to open a new tab then do the next d/l in that.
A couple of hours ago today i successfully downloaded some PDFs, without any hassle at all... & i'd actually forgotten all about this problem. Maybe since i last noticed it, whatever was wrong might have been fixed in a later Snapshot?
Atm i'm in
Vivaldi 3.4.2049.2 / Chrome 86.0.4240.38

Never had any issues as well, and I download a really lot. I' d suspect it's the interaction between Bitwarden and uBO, and I would follow @BoneTone's suggestion first.

Yes,
I had the Flag enabled since long, but recently faced the problem.
Restoring its default state, fixed it.Maybe something changed or some Dw Servers has problems with the Flag's implementation.
