Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue in Opera on Linux using the listed steps, with the file-URL and search-results permissions enabled. Compare Vimium behavior before and after restarting the browser, focusing on why access to Google pages is lost. Done means Vimium continues working on Google search results and browser pages after a restart.
