Locked profile, logins/passwords/... lost?
-
Alls, started using Vivaldi on Linux and Android a while ago and still trying to get used to it; one thing that currently, repeatedly takes my time is desktop Vivaldi starting over like once or twice a week claiming my profile is "in use" and asking me to use a "Work" profile instead, then, claiming that it's risky to continue but I don't have any other real options than that (don't want to create a new profile) - and when I do, all my active logins are lost, my stored passwords are lost and my browser sync is disconnected.
This is /quite/ weird. Any idea what's going on here? First idea was that maybe an instance of Vivaldi kept running in the background but that doesn't seem the case. Any way to fix this?
Thanks,

@z428 Hm, it sounds like Vivaldi may fail to quit properly and might be stuck running in the background. The next time this happen, could you please check if you have old Vivaldi processes running in the background?
This issue can be caused by extensions that want to keep the browser running in the background. (E.g., to receive notifications or provide some kind of background functionality.) You can try disabling all your extensions temporarily to see if this is indeed your problem.

@daniel Thanks for your hint. I already checked whether any Vivaldi processes kept running in the background but it didn't seem like this. I'm, however, unsure whether this then might relate to this problem ( https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/107849/disable-keyboard-shortcuts-dialog ) that still keeps bothering me with popups everytime I start the browser...?
