So my power randomly went out. After it was back on, I turned on my computer to find out that Opera won't load my bookmarks or Speed Dial folders. But for some reason, it still loads my active tabs.

Please tell me how I can retrieve my old bookmarks and Speed Dial folders. They were both years old.

What version of Opera and OS? Do you have a backup?

37.0.2178.43 and Windows 7. I copied the bookmarks.bak file before it was rewritten. It is 16 MBs, so it likely has all my stuff in it.

And have you tried to rename it to 'bookmarks' to see what happens?

BTW, was Sync enabled?

Yea I did, Opera just wipes out the file. I don't know what Sync is, so it probably wasn't enabled.

But that "bookmarks.bak" is definitely the right file, it was created the day I started using Opera.

Because this is a major blow to me. I using those bookmarks to keep my train of thought.

If you don't have a backup then I'm afraid there's nothing to be done.

What do you mean?
