I would not be surprised if it is trying to find an libffmpeg.so which
is part of proprietary Google Chrome packages. That one is quite often
packaged on Linux distros with -extra suffix. That's a trick non
Google Chromium based browsers do to provide protected multimedia
support. You shall be able to see, what's happening while vivaldi is
starting with truss(1).

Does the browser actually starts or fails to do so?
