Why does the "Welcome 1Password Extension" screen appear every time I start Opera?

Every time I start the Opera browser it opens a tab displaying the "Welcome to 1Password Extension" screen? It is the one that is displayed when you install the 1Password extension for the first time. (This tab is in addition to my normal startup tab.) While not affecting the performance it is a minor annoyance. This has been happening since I began using the Opera Browser for the Mac for a number of releases of 1Password, Opera and OS X (in other words.. a long time).

Current environment particulars:

OS X 10.9.5
Opera 29.0.xx
1Password 4 version 4.4.3

    Hi @TheMooseIsLoose ,

    I apologize for the annoyance! Do you reset your browser each time you close it?

    Hi @Megan ,

    I do use a utility, PrivacyScan from SecureMac, for browser cleanup. I didn't give it much thought when I started using Opera as it didn't cause this sort of problem in other browsers that I used - Firefox, Safari and Google Chrome. I have confirmed that PrivacyScan was the culprit (or a least played a role) in making Opera/1Password believe I had just installed the 1Password extension upon starting up Opera.

    Thanks for your response. I'll keep my grousing to a minimum from now on. ;)
