      If you did not move them, Opera should find them and activate the Bookmark importer for you. Opera 24 does not use ADR files itself.

          Opera should have done it automatically.

              Bookmarks - yes. In Opera 24 though passwords are specific to the user account ... if you need to import passwords you'll need to install 12.x to the new computer first and transfer your settings from the old computer, then install 24 and import your settings. (You can still get 12.17 from Opera's ftp site ...)

                  Did you uninstall Opera 24 before installing it?
                  If so, it should have found the Opera 12 bookmarks and imported them.

                  You should be able to import them now by running the following command -

                  "{Opera 24 folder}\launcher.exe --presto-small-prefs-dir={Opera 12 folder}"

                  The "Opera 12 folder" is the folder where your Opera 12 profile is stored, which should include the bookmarks.adr file.
                  Depending on your configuration, it might be in Opera 12's main folder, or in a users application data folder.
                  You can check the location by looking at Help>About Opera on Opera 12.

                    What I just noticed is that I have 2 Opera browsers. I have BOTH Opera 12.17 and 24. Wasn't 24 going to replace 12.17??
                    BTW Where do I type in the command {Opera 24 folder}\launcher.exe --presto-small-prefs-dir={Opera 12 folder} ????
                    Also where is activate bookmark importer?

                      The bookmark importer has only appeared in the latest developer version 26, which happened today!
                      It doesn't offer the option to import from Presto Opera BTW, only Chrome, Firefox, IE and an HTML bookmarks file.
                      You can type the command line into the "run" box, assuming you're on Windows.
                      Press the Windows key +R to get to it.
                      Opera 12 and Opera 24 are completely independent pieces of software, one will not replace the other at present.

                          Oh, there should be a Bookmark Importer in speed dial and on the menu, if Opera 24 found the Presto version. And no, 24 does not replace Presto - it installs in a subdirectory and does not overwrite any of the files.
