Lost My Opened Tabs

I'm not seeing that. But if I type a URL, say sp and it autofills space.com, I just hit enter and it takes me there. I'm not seeing this, unless my process is different? -

What you have to note for 101.0.4843.25 is another bugfix in the release notes:
"DNA-109310 Broken session files are not automatically recovered"
I'm still on 100.0.4815.76 with Linux, haven't experienced any wipeouts since, though with very conservative usage (no TabIland). From my observation, everything revolves around the files in the %Profilepath%\Sessions\ folder (on Windows and Linux).
With the wipeouts I could still observe at 100.0.4815.54, I was able to restore the previous state from backup. Side effects, e.g. with Sync, I could not observe, but it is probably safer to backup & restore the entire profile folder as alternative share data with another 3rd party plugin. -

@dermotmoconnor No, what I meant is when you have a tab open (using your example) "space.com", amidst hundreds of other opened tabs (so you don't know where that specific tab is, and maybe you don't even remember that you had it open to begin with), you start typing the URL "sp" and the browser's autofill section displays the possible results for the letters you are typing, and one of them, "space.com" appears, but on the far right of that same row, a button also appears, that says "switch to tab", and when I click on it, it takes me to the page, showing me it's content, but if I want to locate the tab (to move it to another location or close it) the browser won't scroll automatically to show it to me anymore (as it did before this last update), so I'll have to scroll manually and search for that specific tab, which is really annoying and a waste of time.
Does that makes sense? -

Even though I received the last update (101.0.4843.33), it happened to me again, 200+ tabs lost, fortunately I had them backed up in speed dial this time, but man this is becoming so tiresome.
I don't think I can take this anymore, I'm considering moving to Firefox definitely.

@andrewcerberus Opera needs built in session manager with workspace awareness

@mixchild Yeah, I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for it, though (sigh).
But hey, one can dream, right?

Hi,
My Opera has Version 103.0.4892.0 and 15 minutes ago I lost all tabs in one workspace. What confuses me, in the directory session, where you normally find your backups, all of them are outdated a month ago. When I empty the previous directory there isn't even a new backup file generated at new browser start/close, so I think there is a new session save space?
But I lost only the tabs from one workspace and I didn't use that blue button on the right top corner. I closed normally, X. -

I just opened my Opera browser with version 101.0.4843.43, and it happened the same.
And while I'm writing these lines, it's downloading the update.
I don't know why they didn't fix this already, because this is a major problem!!!

The problem has worsened, with version 101.0.4843.58, I opened Opera to find now it erased me 200+ tabs from another workspace (not the one I was in when I closed the browser before shutting down my PC).
It's becoming impossible to use this browser anymore.

I've stopped having my entire session deleted - now, it's just my main workspace. I have six (my first one has my open tabs for email, social media, etc). The other five are OK. Strange stuff.
I use the speed dial trick of saving all workspace tabs in a speedial folder, so have been able to restore MOST of them there.
This is bananas stuff. Programmers at this point can't or won't fix this. Neither speaks well of them.

Yeah, I really don't know what's happening that they didn't fix it already, because it hurts so bad the reputation of a browser that's not even in the top 3 regarding popularity IMO.
Any new user that discover this bug, will think this is a piece of garbage and will uninstall it without thinking it twice.
And I say it because I'm starting to thinking of doing it myself, because at this point I'm loosing hope that this will get fixed anytime soon.

Ok boys and girls, right now after upgrade to 102.0.4880.16 Opera still started from Zero.
That means, everything is lost. It is not the tab mess, i mean it is everything lost:- tabs
- workspaces
- speedial
- bookmarks
- plugins
- All settings incl. stored passwords etc.
I am using Opera since over 20 years, but this is ... sorry, I do not have any words for this, I am not a native english speaker ......

It didn't happen to me (yet), but thanks for the heads-up, I will back up my bookmarks.
But yeah, this browser (since the damned "ONE" update) has been going from bad to worse, it looks like they are sabotaging themselves more and more with each update, and I'm reaching my limit.
If I loose all those things like you did, I'll uninstall this piece of trash browser (that's what it has become by now) for good. -

@burnout426 thank you.
In the meanwhile I changed to vivaldi and this one behaves like opera is supposted to do.
I think, opera overshoot the target with version 100+ = opera one and I am sorry to say, but this is a management problem. What a pity!
Ciao opera ....

Thanks for the reminder about Vivaldi. I see it's run by ex Opera people, open, etc., it's pretty good so far. Also available on Linux, hopefully I can get it working there as well as win10. -

Well, just made the switch to Vivaldi. Got all bookmarks in (easy), and migrated all tabs. Only thing I miss is having workspaces on a vertical sidebar instead of on top bar, but the bookmarks more than make up for it. Overall, a very 'Opera' feel to it. Certainly more familiar to me than Firefox or Chrome (Shudder).Odd thing: once signed into Vivaldi, my open YT creator page in Opera logged me out, and I can't get back in, but as I'm in with Vivaldi, and am done with Opera, no worries.
Uninstalling Opera now.Bye guys, thanks for 20+ ish years of happy browsing, sorry you're hellbent on Ensh!ttification.
Good luck with your new 'strategy', you're gonna need it.
