<![CDATA[Opera doesn't open the previous tab when starts]]>Dear specialists! Opera doesn't open the previous tab when starts, despite settings. Each time it opens quite another page. What has happened? I reinstalled browser, it didn't help. It works, as if I set "Open a specific page". {3BEEBA1C-8A28-4D1D-8582-43DD402CFA7D}.png.jpg

How can it be explained?

Isn't fixed on 85.0.4341.60

For now, each time Opera updates, you can turn the new session manager flag back to default (enabled) and see if things start working properly. If not, turn the flag back off.

Ideally, you'd want to turn the flag on, goto the URL opera://about, take note of the "profile" path, close Opera, delete everything in the "sessions" folder, start Opera back up, open a few tabs, close Opera, and start Opera back up to see if your sessions are being restored properly with the new session manager. You can keep a standalone installation updated and just test things out there if you don't want to mess with your regular Opera.

How are you closing Opera? With the X or Menu -> exit? Or, are you killing Opera or shutting Windows down without closing Opera first?

What happens if you goto the URL opera://flags/#new-session-manager, disable the flag, restart Opera, open some tabs, close Opera and reopen Opera. Does that do the trick?

it sounds to me like it's Opera. What else could it be ?
It happens even in Safe Mode.
Win7

yes, opening the old page is the only problem.
The other stuff I wrote is just me explaining what to do so it doesnt open the old page -> close the tab that the old page was on before exiting, meaning you shouldn't even surf on that tab because if you leave it open it will always show that page it opened with and not the page you left it at before exiting.

The only problem is when you change the page on the tab but it still opens with the old page.

It happens on portable too.
It does show the latest tabs (the normal opera install, not just portable) if I before exiting close the previously lastest tabs.
What i mean is:
Lets say I install opera, open ebay.com, surf on that one tab and exit opera.
I start opera again - tab is ebay.com , I surf on that tab to facebook.com and exit opera.
I start opera again - tab is still ebay.com, not facebook.com .
But if in addition to ebay.com tab I open another tab and surf to facebook.com, close the ebay.com tab , when I reopen it will show the facebook.com tab.

Are you using some kind of third-party antivirus or security site? From problem description, Opera has trouble either reading or writing Sessions folder inside its profile directory - this may be affected by antivirus.
