Open a link outside Vivaldi not opening if a browser window is not open

@triss1 said in Open a link outside Vivaldi not opening if a browser window is not open:
I am seeing this behavior as well. I am running Monterey on an Intel Mac. Which version on macOS are you on?
I'm still running 10.14, but don't think has anything to do with the OS version. This behavior started immediately after upgrading from Vivaldi v4 to v5. And, it is very frustrating as I often save "temporary" web locations to my desktop rather than bookmark the URL. Frustrating enough to make me want to stop using Vivaldi until it behaves as it used to.

I've tried email links and system url's (Web Site Location file) ... Same result: If there's no browser window open (i.e., application Vivaldi is not running), the Start Page appears in a new window -- rather than the page referenced.
Has a bug report been filed yet?

I filed a bug report yesterday and referenced this thread.

I'm seeing the same problem, and I guess every Mac user does. I opened a discussion on that same issue in this forum three days ago. Thanks for filing a bug report. Unfortunately the bug tracker apparently is not publicly available, so we cannot see any responses.

same issue here on MacOS Catalina. Very annoying having to click twice for opening any external link...
-
Exactly the same on latest version of Big Sur - appeared after update of Vivaldi to v5.

I deleted my workaround, as it only worked a few times and then stopped working. Sorry to confuse anyone. Problem persists.
-
Same behaviour here on Mac OS 10.13.6, High Sierra.
-
Same on MacBook Pro 16 with Monterey 12.0.1.
I submitted bug report today and referenced this forum topic.

Confirmed. Really annoying, I switched back to Safari.

This is a problem that was introduced with the major Vivaldi 5 update (not a point update), Mac Catalina. If the Vivaldi app is running in the background but has no windows open, and I click a link from another application (or open a local .html file, etc.) then Vivaldi becomes frontmost but only with a blank window (as though I hit command-N); the link I clicked doesn't load.
If Vivaldi 5 already has a window (empty or not, doesn't matter), then clicking a link from another app works fine. -

My default browser is always set to Browserosaurus - check it out:)

I recently had the occasion to reinstall Vivaldi. Since then, whenever I click on a link that would take me to an outside source, (such as a link received in an email), Vivaldi will only take me to the Homepage. It does not continue on to the source of the link. This does not happen in Safari, Google Chrome or Firefox, which all continue to direct me through to the intended source of the link. What am I overlooking? It must be something I missed in setup but I have spent an hour looking with no luck.

You aren't overlooking anything. This problem for Mac users was introduced in Version 5. If you look back in this forum a few weeks, you'll see a discussion of it. I believe it's been reported as a bug.
There's no fix yet, but there is a rather annoying work-around. Just leave a page (perhaps your homepage) open at all times. The links will then open in a new tab.
I hope this is fixed soon.

Perhaps it is a problem of my prefs, but I have a problem with Vivaldi when I want to lauch a page from an URL (for example, a link in a mail).
If Vivaldi is started, but without opened windows, on the click of the URL, Vivaldi launch only the tab with Speed Dial !!! Not the target page of the URL !!! That's the problem.Note :
- If Vivaldi is not started, in this case, the click of the URL launches Vivaldi, a first Tab with speed dial, and the target Page : it's ok
- if Vivaldi is started and have already opened pages, at least the Speed Dial Tab, the target page is correctly opened in a new Tab.
- The problem occurs only in case of Vivaldi started but with no opened window/page....
Thank you in advance for the help.
PS : Is it possible to desactive the speed dial page ?
-
It was already reported by other users too (check the following threads for reference: Open a link outside Vivaldi not opening if a browser window is not open and When clicking on links in email, Vivaldi only goes to Homepage).
I'm not on Mac, but one of our testers tried it on macOS 12.0.1 and was unable to reproduce that issue with one of the Snapshot builds. Could you try the latest Snapshot (installed separately) and check if it's still broken there?
