      @marqm I agree, windows 10 version could be more unstable, nothing insulting here, just saying that this issue might not have any workaround until they fix it, to be honest I'm surpised they have released new update since this report and didn't even fix the main issue

        I have been able to observe the lost tabs on my systems as well. Fortunately, I always had the option to backup & restore or snapshotting.
        Using 100.0.4815.54 and previously on Fedora Linux and Windows Server 2019. It is likely to be related to Tab Ilands or Syncronization or in combination in my opinion as previously described. Let's say I do the work to reproduce the bug again. Where could I report the bug, is that even necessary anymore?

          Lost all of my tabs in 2 work spaces 3 times within 3 weeks. 2 times directly after crashes, the 3rd time after a clean close of the browser and system shutdown, to find all my tabs gone again 2 hours later after the next boot.

          Obviously I have the option enabled to restore open tabs, as I did have for years. Otherwise why would people complain about missing tabs. I don't know why I am even writing this, like, just use your brain before commenting.

          Before the Opera One update I did have crashes (though by far not as frequent) but I have never lost my open tabs in years. Before even looking into the crashes (they can always happen anyway), fix the tab restore feature, then crashes are at least not that bad.

            Windows 10, latest version (version: 100.0.4815.76), and running it on Linux Mint Mate, latest version. MINT wiped out twice, though has been stable for the last week, but Win10 is a nightmare.

            Tabs are continuously being wiped out. This is wasting so much time. They have the time to create their stupid musical 'O' intro that blasts my speakers at launch, so maybe that dev time could have been put to better use, instead of nuking my tabs?

            I've used this browser for 20 years, but this really is starting to look like Cory Doctorow's "ensh*ttification" at work again. This has being going on for two weeks!!!!!! Two freaking weeks!

            Wakey wakey opera!

            Ah who am I kidding, time to look for a better browser...but I really don't like Firefox.

                  I have Tab Islands disabled in settings. Never lost a tab in Opera One.

                  100.0.4815.76 on Win10.

                    @vegelund Tab islands also disabled, no joy.
                    Fidelius, looks promsing, I'll check it out.
                    Currently keeping all tabs bookmarked in speeddial folders, which is an annoying but functional workaround.

                    This reminds of me of Adobe's catastrophic update to PS about 2 years ago which nuked my CC PS, as well as older ones. We had a very long thread about that on Adobe's forums, many people were srewed by that. I canceled by CC sub at that point - not the only one. At least Opera isn't charging me a monthly. Still, sad to see the rot setting in.

                    This bug is actually quite risky, as I need to keep a lot of tabs open for work.

                      Maybe fixed with 100.0.4815.76 – 2023-07-17:
                      DNA-109897 Session is lost when new session file is created

                      Do anybody have detailed information on this?

                        @numbly That indeed sounds promising, could be the fix we were waiting for. Would be nice to have someone "official" here to confirm. Just installed that update, hoping that I don't have another incident of lost tabs from now on.

                            Very strange glitch for sure. My Linux Mint had 2 erasures, but has been OK for about 8 days. Win10 seems to delete every 3 or 4. Last erasure was yesterday. Wonder what the trigger could be. If it can't be replicated, it might be a tough bug to dig out. No fun in the meantime.

                              @fidelius no lost tabs confirmed with Opera 100.0.4815.76, Windows 11 Home. I tested tab islands and I have a group of pinned tabs (those disguised islands) back on my tab bar as I had before, which had been the guaranty for tab wipe outs on my system. The only issue remaining is, that Opera sometimes still starts with the start page and not with the last open tab - this seems to happen totally at random.

                                A full week without lost tabs since 100.0.4815.76, so far, so good.

                                  ditto here, though I'm still using the version that had the last crash. Very strange, but it's been ages since I lost any. Had the same 2 or 3 wipeouts on Linux Mint and Win 10, followed by 2 weeks of stability. What the heck caused them, or stopped them?

                                    @marqm I get the same behavior about the start page. Personally I believe that's intentional, because that start page occasionally shows new ads even when I disabled everything that can be disabled and keep on selecting "Don't show this again" for each of them. You wouldn't see these ads if it wasn't for the start page appearing from time to time.

                                      Ugh, got another wipeout on Linux after about 2 weeks of good behaviour. Was able to use session buddy extension to restore most of them.
                                      This is getting tedious.

                                        @dermotmoconnor You're still on the version that has the error. You wrote 114.0.5735.199, but that's not the Opera version, it's the Chromium version that Opera 100.0.4815.54 had. And this version still had the error, the tab wipeouts are fixed only since 100.0.4815.76 - and the current version is an even newer 101.0.4843.25 (with Chromium version 115.0.5790.102) that also has no tab wipeouts.

                                        It's quite pointless to comment here that your old version still has the issue, of course it has, it's only fixed in the newer versions.

                                          Today I also joined to people who lost over 100 tabs. How this was not an issue and now is? Why closed tabs are not in history?!
                                          I've been using Opera since 2006, but I fell this is too much for me. Moving to different browser was a problem, but now I don't have to move 100+ tabs to new browser.

                                            I've been checking the update button regularly on both machines.

                                            My versions on both machines are up as to date as far as the update will allow. Win10 version seems to be fine, it's:
                                            101.0.4843.25

                                            My version on Linux Mint doesn't seem to be as up to date, hence, I assume, the ongoing issue until such time as the Linux version is available.
                                            Current latest version that it'll allow me is
                                            100.0.4815.21

                                            Just checked 'Check For Updates' on Mint and that's as good as I can get for now. Glad to hear the bug will be fixed whenever that patch is rolled out on Linux.
