      I want to use an old version of Opera so i installed it and blocked autoupdate but there's an error that says that my profile can't be used because it is from a newer version. I don't want to delete that profile and i want to know how to save my data.

      I also tried to use Opera account synchronization but it only saves history and bookmarks.
      How do i fix that problem?

        What old version of Opera are you trying to use and what was the last version that modified the profile?

              @hhsss Make a backup of that profile and create a new one to use the old version.

                      @hhsss Do you have sync enabled? Probably it will be the only way to use your current data.

                      What do you want to use from the current profile?

                        Hi @hhsss, try to launch the Opera from the shortcut or command line with the "--no-experiments" switch - that should ignore custom flags settings in the "Local State" file. If that helps, then launch the Opera, open opera:about, and make a note of the path to Opera's profile. Close the Opera, navigate to that path, and rename "Local State" file, then launch the Opera without the switch.

                              @hhsss Settings, at least some of them, should be synced.

                                Hi @hhsss, I mean using a terminal window (Linux/Mac), or command line window on Windows (cmd.exe), but you can simply add the "--no-experiments" switch at the end of the shortcut, that you use to run your Opera, so it will looks like for example "\Path\to\launcher.exe" --no-experiments.
