Lost all my bookmarks as well. Real pain. Why has this happened.

There is nothing under opera:bookmarks? Or under OMenu > Bookmarks (the 2nd one)?

@allfrey Open the bookmarks manager and look in there (Ctrl+Shift+B). The bookmarks menu is currently bugged. It should be fixed next release.

I've lost all my bookmarks. I tried to re-import them from FF (both using the "import from FF" option and the HTML file and neither worked.

This is a basic function that should have been checked.

Are you sure they are gone? Did you look in the bookmarks manager using Ctrl+Shift+B? In the current release the only problem is they don't display in the menu but are still present otherwise.

There are many threads on this forum that already discuss that topic. You might try looking in one of them.

Yes, as has been mentioned in this thread before it is a known issue.

Let's see, after more than two years, Opera ASA not only cannot get a bookmarks feature that even minimally approaches the functionality of previous versions,

--importing of bookmarks sucks dead bunnies through a straw (scrambled, all hierarchical organization lost, etc.)
--lacks basic management features; management features that supposedly exist do not work or do not work properly
--even sync sucks (ditto on organization crap-out, scrambling of bookmark organization)
--CTRL+SHIFT+b results in a management page that makes a mockery of bookmark management: compare the cartoon of a "management" page to the functional and relatively powerful REAL management page in earlier Opera versions--the current treatment is laughable, if by "laughable" on includes values meaning "utterly stupid and insulting".

I keep trying to find Opera ASA's current offerings to be useful, but its failure to implement a useful bookmark feature (among its other failings) has me on a continual search for a replacement for ANY new offering from Opera. Sadly, the many offerings from elsewhere still do not manage the functionality Opera 12.17 still affords (though, as [ticked\ off as I am becoming with Opera ASA, as soon as I find ANYTHING that approaches the functionality of its more than 2-year-old, no longer maintained browser, I'll ditch ALL of its products and never look back. Yes, this failure to offer a browser that's even minimally as functional as the one it threw away does have me that disgusted.

You seem greatly dissatisfied with the product. I suggest you ask for a full refund and stop using it.

Stupid snark, lando242. I've used the Opera browser in its various iterations since 1996, longer than you've been sentient (if you have managed that, by now), and used to be quite happy to pay for the privilege--and it was a privilege, once, back when it was a decent product. Opera 12.x is still a decent product, one that is far, far more useful than the abortion of functionality, management and configurability that Opera ASA currently excretes.

And dipwads like you are its current target users.

Oh dear, someone insult me over the internet. Whatever shall I do. Just move to Vivaldi and spare us, will you?
