[Compilation]Data Loss After An Update/Upgrade

Just same thing happened to me too. I didn't update the app, I was going to, later, I has 2 windows open and one incognito window, total of 40 or 50 tabs, I opened an incognito tab again and suddenly windows showed the option to end process, I didn't click end but it automatically closed. When I reopened, it opened as if it was a fresh install but Ctrl+shift+t opened tabs from a day ago, since then I had opened and closed a lot of tabs but it was all gone, and it had completely cleared the other window. Even the key combination didn't bring them back, though they were open from days back. I expected the incognito tabs to be vanished but not a normal window.
This is the 2nd time it has happened, first time when I was new to opera and had no idea how to get the tabs back. This is so annoying and terrible because opera was known for being lighter and more stable than others, but this is unbearable. I need the tabs back. Or I might just shift to firefox

Gmail does not load until I clean the cookies. But it keeps happening every time! How to prevent it?

@burnout426 I don't know what helped, but it worked!!!

The standalone version worked fine... Then, in the Opera that I used to use, I deactivated all Extensions.

And the Gmail standard view worked!!! But now, I reactivated all the Extensions again, and is still working '-' So I know where the problem is, but it's not affecting me anymore...

If Gmail stops working again, I'll know what to do... And it's easier than cleaning the cookies...

Thank you man, you helped more than anyone else!! ❤

System crashes "Stable 86.0.4363.59"

This "Opera Stable 86.0.4363.59" crashed my system and forced me to restore. It will now not open, and will not uninstall. Any ideas? Want to revert to older, or at this point, just switch browsers.

Speed dials missing after an update

I've just spent an hour figuring out a solution. The problem is that Opera's 'Local State' file has become either corrupted or unsuited to the new version of Opera.

The solution

Close Opera. Close all running instances of the browser.

Browse to your local Opera profile folder. In Linux this is under /home/[username]/.config/opera/. I have no idea where this Opera folder is in Windows or Mac. You will need to look for it. I think someone mentioned it earlier in this discussion thread.

Make a backup of the above 'opera' directory. This directory stores all your personalisations of the browser and stores any saved sessions; then

Rename the file 'Local State' to 'xLocal State'

Restart Opera

Your Speed Dials should display again; if not, they will be stored in Bookmarks > Other Speed Dials and from here you can select and drag them back into Speed Dials.

If the above solution causes your browser to lose its settings, just close Opera and restore the backup you made of the 'opera' directory in step 2.

The problem is that the Local State file prevents the Speed Dials folder from loading. It is as though Opera looks in the wrong place for the Speed Dials data.

Hope this helps,
Lee
