      I have to reinstall opera browser in a new window but i fear that one of the extension has been taken down on the store,(mistakenly i talked to the developer) and i don't want to lose any such extensions in future cases too. Is there anyway i could backup my extension files and successfully restore them too on my own consent.

        @waleedrana777 You should be able to backup the extensions folder under Opera's profile directory and use the developer mode in extensions manager page to install the extension.

            @waleedrana777 You don't need to pack anything.

              I am really sorry, i got it, i copied the extension folder and was able to install individual extensions but what i was asking was if i could collectively restore all extensions instead of individually installing each of them, also the back up folder does not show the actual names instead a random string name is present making it confusing which i want to install

                @waleedrana777 Only if you backup the whole profile directory and even doing that it's not guaranteed that it will work.
