There isn't any. You will find bookmark import in Opera 26.

In the mean time, if you saved your bookmarks as a *.adr file (Try searching your computer for *.adr), just copy or rename it to "opera.html". Then open that file, and bookmark it. You will be able to see all your old bookmarks!

I don't work for opera - I'm just someone who played until I got something to sort of work, because I was desperate. The *.adr files aren't really *.html files, but they can be read by most browsers.

It would be very hard to simply import it to the current Opera 25 - because the old bookmarks were hierarchal, meaning that you could have nested sub-folders, whereas the Opera 25 bookmark page doesn't seem to be.

But I look forward to Opera 26, for this.

I forgot to say - if you don't know how to open a file on your computer, its different than in older operas:

If the file is on drive c:, you can find it by

1. Put "file:///C:/" in the opera address bar.
2. Hit Enter.
3. Navigate your way to the file.

BTW, creating a bookmark to your old bookmarks doesn't import the old bookmarks - just lets you see them.

Good luck!
