The problem is that Opera's 'Local State' file has become either corrupted or unsuited to the new version of Opera.

The solution

  1. Close Opera. Close all running instances of the browser.

  2. Browse to your local Opera profile folder. In Linux this is under /home/[username]/.config/opera/. I have no idea where this Opera folder is in Windows or Mac. You will need to look for it. I think someone mentioned it earlier in this discussion thread.

  3. Make a backup of the above 'opera' directory. This directory stores all your personalisations of the browser and stores any saved sessions; then

  4. Rename the file 'Local State' to 'xLocal State'

  5. Restart Opera

  6. Your Speed Dials should display again; if not, they will be stored in Bookmarks > Other Speed Dials and from here you can select and drag them back into Speed Dials.

If the above solution causes your browser to lose its settings, just close Opera and restore the backup you made of the 'opera' directory in step 2.

The problem is that the Local State file prevents the Speed Dials folder from loading. It is as though Opera looks in the wrong place for the Speed Dials data.

Hope this helps,
Lee

I don't know when it happened or what action caused it.

I didn't find it in opera://bookmarks/ either.
Opera version 75.0.3969.171

After the latest update my speed dials and all subfolders went missing. I had previously disabled the "Show Speed Dial Suggestions" and by re-enabling this feature my speed dial cards and folders were restored upon restart. Hope this helps anyone experiencing the same shock when opening Opera!

Opera has auto upgraded to Version:69.0.3686.77 and all of my speed dials disappeared.

I manged to recover by copying from another linked PC.

Are there any other precautions I can take for future updates?
Such as external backup of speed dials, how is best to do this?
Thank you
Steven

Any one had this experience and know of a way of enabling them?
Thanks Steve

Unsure how to do this. Is it done within windows? I mean the folders? or in opera itself?
Which actual solution are you referring too?

Recent update 18/07/2020, and my speed dial tabs are gone. They are in the settings bookmarks area, but how can I get them back where they were?
I mean where they should be?

It is just moving the links from the root of one folder to another. The root Speed dial folders should both contain a sub-folder of the same name eg Desktop-win10sux
All I did was move my links <ctrl+a> then <ctrl+x> into the identically named Desktop-xxxxxxxxxxxx <ctrl+v>
You may also find drag & drop of the container 'desktop-whatever' between speed dial folders works.
My PWs are intact...
