Can bookmark thumbnails last inside a file?
BookmarksExtras, I would say.

What if the crash forced them to hide away or something like that?
The crash most probably damaged some of the files in Opera's profile folder, what did the thumbnails to be re-fetched.

@leocg Can these favicons files be restored back to their former state before the crash?

@leocg No. Not before the crash.
I didn't think of it at the time.
I downloaded a file from my profile called favicons.
I look at in pdf format.
It says it may have been damaged or the file type is not supported.I clicked on some pdf files that may have been the thumbnails but it said they no longer existed.
But what about extras?
That shows a whole page of letters and numbers and it has a file size of 15.9mb.
Can these thumbnails from before the 19th of January be inserted back into the bookmarks?
Keep the bookmarks original? -

@concretable I'm hoping there might be a fix to restore them back to a previous time.
BTW, how would I back them up?
I told you that. There is a file in Opera's profile called Favicons. Back that up and it should save the favicons.

@leocg But the thing is, I looked at some of my older bookmarks and I accidentally gave them different favicons from before.
I also have got some new bookmarks since then.Then I downloaded the favicon file but it said it may have been damaged.
Can I get the favicons uploaded from before 19th Jan 2018?
How do I upload them back to the state of before 19th Jan 2018?

@leocg Come on, there has to be some way?
I'm very desperate here.
It's not my fault I never thought something like this would happen.
Can't some sort of system be made to recover page icons from a previous time?

@darklancer212 The only chance would be, maybe, by restoring your profile folder from a backup from that time. However you would loose all information got from that time to today.
Even if a restore feature would be implemented, it wouldn't be able to restore anything prior to when it was introduced because it wasn't made any backups yet.

@leocg But that will take god knows how long and some of them won't be the same as before.
Surely an even quicker and more instant system can be made?

@leocg If only I had done that much earlier.
Oh well, just for future reference. -

@concretable That file is related to the favicons of the pages added to the bookmarks bar.
I found that locking the Favicons file prevented any favicons getting into the bookmarks. I have all the bookmarks on the bookmarks bar, so maybe that is why it worked for me.

@concretable I've had a thought.
Are favicons also stored on hard drives but hidden?
If so, I could use a program called Stellar Phoenix Windows Data Recovery.

Why would the favicons be hidden? If they are in the profile (and where else would they be?), then the file would be in there. I did not want any favicons in my bookmarks, so I tried locking the Favicons file and that did the trick.
