Vivaldi browser crashes during start of mail client

Steps to reproduce:
Click to start Vivaldi browser. Progress goes to black screen, the V logo screen, then hangs or crashes as mail client is starting. Sometimes when trying to start Vivaldi after a crash, message: "Wait for Vivaldi to close"

Sometimes after a few attempts, including doing a restart of the PC, Vivaldi starts, mail starts and runs, and there is a message:

NotFoundError: Failed to execute 'removeChild' on 'Node': The node to be removed is not a child of this node.

NOTE: Does this create my problem?

I keep the Vivaldi user data on a HDD hard drive because the C SSD drive was over full. Usually the program runs OK, if a bit slow, but the reported bugs keep happening.

@halberstadt it's not because of hard disk vs SSD, I have a desktop PC from 2010 as my main mail storage!

It sound like a corrupt file either in the program or in the mail database, but I wouldn't like to say for sure.

If I were you I would try reinstalling Vivaldi first (keeping the same user data - but make a backup) and if that fails then it's going to be more painful... you might need to delete and recreate the user profile. If you use IMAP for your mail then that's not so bad, but if (like me) you have local POP3 messages then you'll have to import all of those from the backup. I had some problems with my mail database in the past, so I have some experience - quite a big task to collect all the messages in one location so they could (slowly) be imported again.
