      I'm wondering if i'm able to restore a session from my previous browser onto my new browser.
      Really need some help here. I was reinstalling opera gx because it had been a few years since I first installed it. I messed up really bad and forgot to export all of my passwords, my recent bookmarks, and settings. The synchronization messed up somehow even though I checked it was on before i uninstalled, and I have nothing saved at all from my previous browser or anything.

      when i continue to the "default" folder in "opera gx stable" i am able to see a 'sessions' and 'sessions storage' folder, although neither have the session from 10pm saved. I'm pretty sure i have the right directory, but please let me know if there's anywhere else i should be looking.
      I'm confident the opera gx on the bottom of the list was my session before i uninstalled.image_2026-06-18_001403164.png image_2026-06-18_001423911.png

        @windeoutside So you reinstalled Opera or you uninstalled and installed it again? If you just reinstalled, your data shouldn't have changed.

            @Nearmelab Yes, there isn't any history available from my previous installation.

                @windeoutside And you also checked the option to remove your data while uninstalling?
