Bug: vivaldi://startpage error appears when clicking on speeddial-link
-
@Pathduck I think I found the solution to that problem. It doesn't matter if I delete my preferences-file only or the whole profile. The problem is still there!
The problem is the setting for the "Homepage" in combination with the setting "Startup with". If I choose a specific website like
https://vivaldi.com/
as my "Homepage" and select "Start Page" or "Homepage" to start Vivaldi with, everything works fine. There is novivaldi://startpage error
when opening a favorite link.But when choosing "Start Page" as my "Homepage" and set the "Homepage" to start Vivaldi with, the
vivaldi://startpage error
appears when opening a favorite link for the first time after starting Vivaldi.As you can see Vivaldi is switching the specific page to
vivaldi://startpage
when switching to "Start Page" here.Actually I'm without syncing anything in Vivaldi and the
vivaldi://startpage error
appears anyway. So the workaround for me is to set a specific website as "Homepage" and set the "Start Page" to start Vivaldi with. This works fine. -
@PoooMukkel
Yes, that might be so on your system, but I have the exact setting as your last image, and I don't have the error. So something is broken in your profile, most likely caused by the extension.Did you try to stop Vivaldi, delete thePreferences
file and restarting Vivaldi?If you are able to reproduce this issue in a completely clean profile without first installing an extension, then that would be a clear bug in Vivaldi. But an extension breaking settings is another matter, as the Vivaldi team can't support all kinds of issues caused by badly written extensions.
If you're able to give a step-by-step instruction on how to reproduce the issue in a clean profile after installing a Startpage extension, then please do so here:
https://vivaldi.com/bugreport/I could consider making a bug report myself, but since I really have no interest in installing custom SD extensions I will have no interest in following it up later.
At least you have your workaround for now

Yes! I deleted the complete default profile and did not install any extension. I could reproduce this issue!

I stopped syncing and deleted the server data. Then I deleted the default profile folder. I did not install any extension and only set the settings as I described in the last post.
but since I really have no interest in installing custom SD extensions
I also don't want to install any of these extensions anymore, and I only did it once! But as I wrote I deleted my complete profile and only set the settings from scratch.

Update: Well, sh*te. After doing another round of testing, I actually think @PoooMukkel is onto something here.
- Clean profile of 3.8.2259.37 (Stable channel) (64-bit)
- OS Windows 10 OS Version 2009 (Build 19042.928)
- In Settings > General, set:
Homepage = Start Page
Startup with = Home page - Restart Vivaldi
- Click any bookmark on the Start Page
- ERR_INVALID_URL shows for a short time before loading the URL.
- Any following clicks from Start Page do no show the issue
- The same happens when clicking a bookmark from the Bookmarks Bar.
Workaround seems to be setting Startup With to Start Page as well.
Good find, I'll might as well report it now, since I was so sure of nothing being wrong... -
@Pathduck Great! Good to hear you found the same error.
Please read my post before your answer, too.

@PoooMukkel Yeah, I was so sure this was caused by an extension I spent a lot of time installing an extension to reproduce it and doing diffs on bloody JSON files
I just submitted a bug report:
VB-79409
@Gwen-Dragon Are you able to reproduce?Included a screen capture as well:

And I was afraid an extension is to blame for this issue.

I confirmed the bug.
Great!
I'm looking forward to the fix. -

I just installed Vivaldi 4.0.2312.24 (Stable channel) (64-Bit) and it seems like the bug is not resolved. Also, I searched for "VB-79409" in the release notes and couldn't find it.
Am I right?
