      @slytheringirl opera://activity (and opera://startpage/activity) open right windows with tabs, but still icon don't re-appear.
      It's funny, because I totally forgot about this topic because for a while there was not a single response. Yesterday I've got notification about new post here and it looks like there was some feedback. Nice 🙂

      Unfortunately this issue is still present, even after over 1 year and I don't know what triggers it. Sometimes Opera opens up and icons is right from the start. Sometimes (more often) Opera opens and icons is missing and later it appears.

        I don't see sync tabs icon and I don't see PC connected as device in Opera account sync. Opera Android and PC is connected to this same account.

          @MESIAH Sync has been buggy for a long time. It does work but it takes a loooong time for anything to show up with me most of the time. Try logging out and back in or resetting sync. Resetting sync did help for me a few times when sync was acting up.

                  I had the same problem as @szczepanson it started working for me after following steps:

                  • changing the display language to english
                  • restarting Opera
                  • sigining out and signing in again in the synchronization menu

                  Without following steps the opera://activity were working fine but he icon on the task bar was missing and not available for selection.

                  I am using Opera in version is 60.0.3255.165

                    @jbjb Did this procedure fixed problem permanently?
                    In my case it's totally random if this icon shows up after opening Opera.

                          I'm facing the problem too. I'm on Opera version 62.0.3331.18. I can't see the Tabs icon in the sidebar. However,
                          opera://activity shows the synced tabs. Also, the Synchronization icon in the top right is hidden when you open the browser. It shows again after you navigate to opera://activity.

                              @vic2pal I guess the idea is to use the tabs menu.

                                The problem is that "Tabs" button is missing

                                      @vic2pal The tabs menu is at the top right, near the close button. It's a icon with three lines forming a arrow down.

                                        hi, because is about sync here, i want to ask, the sync icon , has been removed from upper right?

                                        examples:

                                        Old
                                        Untitl.png

                                        New
                                        Untitghh.png

                                          @panosv Have you tried signing out and signing back in, because the sync icon now disappears if you're already signed in when you start Opera. Signing out and signing back in makes it come back and stay for as long as you keep Opera up, then it'll disappear again when you close Opera. In my opinion, sync has been broken for a long time now and the devs have no real intenion of ever fixing it. I had to reset my data for the umpteenth time recently because it mysteriously removed my tablet (and no, I did not do it myself). As I keep telling ppl here, sync does whatever it wants when it wants. It's a miracle if ANYTHING gets synced at all.
