      Well, I copied the file "bookmarks" from %AppData%\Roaming\Opera Software\Opera Stable into the Opera Next folder. This worked well enough, now my bookmarks are the same in each. Maybe I'll try making a symbolic link sometime to keep it that way.

      The weird thing is, after I copied the file over...now the bookmarks importer is enabled. There must be something in the old file which was disabling it.

        Okay, I had Opera 12 some time ago and reloaded it again; was able to transfer my FireFox bookmarks.What is the easiest way for a fumblefinger to get Opera Next 21.0 to pick up the bookmarks from Opera 12? None of the suggestions I have seen so far inspire any confidence that I will be able to follow them without screwing something up.

          Well, the latest Opera is SUPPOSED TO allow easy bookmark import with a built-in tool. Apparently sometimes it can't and nobody can satisfactorily explain why. For what it's worth...the import worked great for me on the one that realized it had that feature.

          No import from other browsers right now, though.

            I have opera 26 stable windows 32 version.
            In the settings/bookmark section only can be found to import bookmark in opera. No chance to export. Completely missing this.
            I have visited the official website to get information, and they, had mentioned in the intro video how to exporting bookmarks. In this "stable" version ther is only selection for import bookmarks.

            An other things. Auto updater can't finding new updates, because during the process, something blocking it!
            Besides those my browser opening 5 types of opera's in the task manager including the auto updater.
            No chance to close them!!!!

            Reading my opera version says this:
            Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/39.0.2171.95 Safari/537.36 OPR/26.0.1656.60

            I think, this is the reason why opening 5 different type of tasks.
            How did they came into my browser???
            Can't get rid of them.

            Opening my opera takes 1 minutes!!!! Not fast at all!!!
            I have decided to delete and install the opera 27 stable version, but first of all I want to save my bookmarks.

            So, what shall I do?

              For Exporting bookmarks, add the extension "Bookmarks Import & Export' from the Add-ons site. Exports to an HTML file.

                You shouldn't need an EXTENSIION for something THAT SHOULD BE BUILT IN AND IS BUILT IN EVERY OTHER BROWSER!

                  There is no need to shout. And no, not all browsers have an option to export bookmarks.

                    ..yeah what ones? IE, firefox, and chrome can.

                    ..and yes there is a need to shout. Lots of people have to get the dev version or get extensions and it's annoying. It's like buying a house and not getting to be able to get running water!

                              Ok,i really never had seen that option in Chrome. So forget what i said about the feature is also missing in other browsers.

                              Anyway, i still think it's not a top priority feature.

                                ofc you can put two asterixs (*) before and after bold text
                                it's in the link at the bottom
