Metamask not opening in Opera GX browser
If you are a Metamask user, you know how convenient it is to manage multiple wallets from one place. However, some users have reported problems connecting to their Metamask wallet using web3modal, a popular library for interacting with Web3 protocols.
In this article, we will investigate the issue and provide possible solutions to resolve Metamask not opening in Opera GX browser (version 89.0.4447.64).
The Problem:
When trying to connect to your Metamask wallet using Mozilla Firefox web3modal, you may receive an error message stating “Metamask cannot be opened.” This can be frustrating, especially if you are used to using Opera GX as your browser.
Possible solutions:
- Update your browser: Make sure your Opera GX browser is up to date (89.0.4447.64). Sometimes new versions can introduce bugs or compatibility issues that can cause problems with web3modal.
- Disable and re-enable Web3Modal: Try disabling web3modal in MetaMask settings and then re-enabling it. This may resolve conflicts between the library and your browser.
- Check your wallet configuration:
Make sure your wallet configuration is set up correctly on your device. You can check your wallet settings by going to “Metamask” > “Wallets” > “Your wallet name”.
- Disable Web Security: Enable Web Security in Opera GX (or Mozilla Firefox) and try again. This feature helps prevent malicious scripts from running, but may cause problems with web3modal.
- Clear your browser cache and cookies:
Clear your browser cache and cookies to see if this resolves the issue. You can do this by pressing Ctrl + Shift + Delete on Windows or Cmd + Opt + Delete on macOS.
Additional tips:
- Make sure you have a compatible wallet (e.g. Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain) installed on your device.
- If you are using Chrome, try disabling Web Security and then try connecting again.
- If none of the above solutions work, feel free to provide more details about your setup and environment and I will be happy to help.
By following the steps below, you should be able to resolve the issue of Metamask not opening in Opera GX browser. Happy coding!
