This is a little strange. At the very least, if you apply the same patch on fx 102, it works.

I'll see if I can do something.

Hi Mike, will this be addressed in time for Fx109?

One of our CalState LA students is working on this. I'm going to wager that it's not going to make 109, and might get fixed in 110.

Attachment: Bug 1800917 - Part 2: Disable Opera GX migrator for Linux, since it doesn't exist for that OS. r?niklas!

Opera hasn't shipped Opera GX on Linux (yet), so it doesn't make sense to support it on that
platform since it can't be tested.

Depends on D164372

Verified fixed on Ubuntu 18.04 and Ubuntu 22.04 using Nightly 110.0a1 with Opera and Vivaldi but I have to mention that Opera was displayed only after I downloaded opera-stable_93.0.4585.70_amd64.deb and used the command line: sudo dpkg -i opera-stable_93.0.4585.70_amd64.deb and opened opera from terminal. If Opera is installed from Ubuntu Software then it's not displayed on Import wizard. It's expected?

Currently, yes. Any browser installed as a Snap package on Ubuntu (so applications installed via the Ubuntu Software manager) is not currently supported. See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1467094.
