(2 Questions) If I update Opera will my data be gone? Why does this vers. keep crashing?

A Former User

I am currently on Version: 58.0.3135.132, I plan upgrading to 59 or 60 if 60 is out or aany latest version. apparently this version has a huge problem with constantly crashing and there's no crash notification after re-opening Opera. Crashes every once in a while, PC Specs:

i7-2600 3.40 GHZ
P8H67-M Pro Motherboard
DDR3 DIMM ram (2 cards) 8.00 GB
PNY GTX 1060 3GB GPU

I usually have a lot of tabs open and no other program is open besides Opera. not tons and tons of tabs, maybe this has started a few months ago shortly after i got opera probably because of this old version maybe and it's probably glitchy so maybe I should update. 20 - 25 at the most, just browsing youtube and different usual sites and stuff. So, if i update, will my speed dial folders, bookmarks, extensions be gone? can I still update without having to sync my data, When i switched to opera from chrome opera automatically took the data from chrome and transferred it onto it's browser. So will it do the same for updating? Thanks

@idontknowaname476 Updating Opera shouldn't mess with your data. However, problems can happen eventually.

@leocg so was that version i told you about, does it crash sometimes because i had a lot of tabs open (like i said usually 20 - 30 at the most) but some of them are just reddit pages or a flash game i play, and some youtube videos, but they aren't currently playing and are all paused. If you can maybe see if my PC specs are why its crashing, is it that, or was it just that browser version that was older than a month that i needed to update? like you saw on my PC specs, maybe the DDR3 needs to be upgraded to DDR4? or was it just the browser version? thank you, i'd appreciate it if you could tell me

@idontknowaname476 Sorry, I have no idea why Opera is crashing. Have you tried the newest build?
