[Solved]Help to recover 60 closed tabs

Help! I accidentally clicked on "Closed all tabs" in Opera (Android 6.0.1) and I had 60 tabs opened. I could only recover 11 manually with the "reopen last closed tab" function. Is there anyway to recover all of them?
I immediately turned off the Wi-Fi on my phone ad downloaded Opera on my laptop to see if by syncing tabs I could recover them but it looks like the sync to my account happened faster than I could turn the Wi-Fi off.
I don't understand why a self-destruct button like this one is built in right next to the "reopen last closed tab".I appreciate your help in advance, these 60 tabs were very important (I also use Evernote and Pocket but sometimes I just don't have time to keep up with my reading)

Also I tried to go through my search history, but it is limited to the past 3 days only? Can't scroll down any more than that. I don't understand why that is: I never exit Opera

Hi leocg and thanks for your post. That's another thing that I mentioned in my second post: I was indeed hoping to recover at least some of those tabs by going through my history but when I checked it, it only goes back a couple days max. Same story on all my other mobile devices, what gives?

Found a solution! Thought I'd share in case someone else has this issue:
- download Opera browser on your laptop
- Sign in and sync everything
- After a few minutes, type browser://sync-internals in your address bar
- Go to the "Sync Node Browser" tab at the top
- Open the "Session" folder and there you will see a record of your tabs. I clicked on all of them manually and copy/pasted the "virtual_url" field in each of them onto a note. It won't restore it on your phone but at least you can find all your URLs there.
The reason I found all of this is because tabs between my phone and the computer are not syncing. Between that and the "close all tabs" / self-destruct button, I'm really getting annoyed
