    Where is the "Recently closed tabs/Tab menu" button on the top right?

      It has been replaced by "Search in tabs", which is totally useless, as it is accessible from the Sidebar.

      Workaround
      "Undo closed tabs button" extension

      Will the tab menu be restored some day?

        Hi,

        In your last update, i don't see where it is for open a tab from an other device ? On computer, it was on the right top corner, but you replaced the button by àmagnifying glass button.

        Thanks

                Hi!

                Did Opera remove recently closed/open tabs arrow? I used it frequently, and now it's not there. 😞

                  @supermanu35 You can create a speed dial on the start page to example.com for example. Then, you can edit it to change its URL to opera://activity and its name to "Opera Activity" if you want.

                    This is just silly, to add a mouse shortcut to a keyboard only feature. You really have to use keyboard to use this search feature.

                    Doubly silly when you remove a usefull, mouse only feature to do it.

                      Moderators, please stop repeating that the feature has been moved to menu.

                      The one in the menu is a different feature. Just 1/3 of the removed one.
                      Tabs menu had 3 sections:

                      • Recently closed
                      • Other devices
                      • Open tabs

                      The menu has only one: Recently closed.

                        @smokku Like you said, in Menu > History you can find recently closed tabs, so, like you it or not, when someone asks for where to find recently closed tabs, I will point to menu > history.

                        And when people ask for tabs opened in other devices, I will point to sidebar or tell the person to use opera://activity.

                          @leocg and what about recently closed windows?

                          I hope someone in there realises that especially when you have a relatively small (compared to others) user base, that consists of people using the software for a feature you provide.
                          What will happen if they go and remove that one feature?

                          I believe that as official forum moderators, you can forward our remarks to the right people and hopefully someone will listen.

                          Thank you for all your work.

                            Instead promoting Opera's unfortunate decisions please tell users about current solution to restore old button:

                            Goto the URL opera://flags/#search-in-open-tabs, disable the flag, and restart Opera.

                              @x-factor They should be in menu > History also.

                                @donq Due to the nature of flags, I usually don't point to them as a solution.

                                  Maybe you should, esp when you see that this is popular topic? At least hint as temporary solution?
                                  I have no idea, how much feedback Opera collects [about flags usage], but I would like to think that if they notice many customers users changing some flag, then they may reestimate usefulness of that feature ...

                                    Hello,

                                    Yesterday I updated Opera to version 68.0.3618.56 for Windows 10 Pro x64 and the recently closed tabs icon that was in the top right corner has disappeared.
                                    Has it maybe been relocated to somewhere I cannot find or has it been removed completely, please?

                                    Thank you

                                      beforealt text

                                      after:
                                      alt text

                                      I need the first one cause i used it very often, how can i get it back?

                                      Thanks for help!
                                      chicken

                                        See discussion above - likely some topics were merged, you may not have noticed.

                                          Today I updated to Opera 68. The "Recently closed tabs" button was replaced by the "Search tabs" button, I was ok with that, since I can see the recently closed tabs in Menu > History.

                                          My big problem is that open tabs in my other devices won't appear anymore. There were a button in my sidebar, but now it's gone, I can't find it anywhere.
                                          So the only workaround is to disable the flag suggested above
                                          opera://flags/#search-in-open-tabs

                                          42396df1-122a-42f0-9169-631beca3cadb-image.png No "Open tabs in other devices" button, it was there a moment ago but now it's gone.

                                            Where is the tab menu (the two horizontal lines with the "arrow" below) that was on the rigtht side of the tabs, next to the minimize or search buttons? How can I get it back? (Opera 68.0.3618.63, Windows 10 Pro)

                                            I liked it so much (one of my most used features in Opera) but I cannot find it anymore.
