      I've been an Opera user since '95 (roughly). I use it for almost 100% of my work. I often open more than one instance of Opera with each having tabs. I do this for coding research or perhaps to break up groups of tabs during the day. However, if I close windows and quit Opera, Opera only restores the last instance of Opera that is closed. Is there a feature or can one be created that merges all open tabs from all open Opera windows into the 1st open Window? Right now I have to save all tabs to a folder for each window and then open each folder from the window I want to merge them in. Then i have to close the other windows and then close the last window so that when I open it again, I have all my work and research. Hope I'm being clear?

      Alternatively, Opera could remember all open instances of Opera windows and restore their tabs instead of just the last one.

        @mryanmarkryan2 Why don't you just keep the windows opened when you close Opera?

          @leocg So if I have website A, B, C, D open in one instance of opera and website E, F, G, H, I open in another instance of opera. By instance, I can Alt Tab and flip between them. They are separate Windows. I want to close out both windows with Alt-f4 for example. Let's say I'm rebooting my computer or shutting dow for the day. So let's say I close out the window with E, F, G, H, I. Then close the window with A, B, C. When I open Opera again, all I see is A, B, C, D. The other websites that were in the other instance are gone unless I want to save to a folder and restore. So my request is that either I can merge all websites in all open instances to the primary window (1st open?) or alternatively, I can run a menu option to merge all open Opera windows into one instead of having to drag each folder manually from one instance to another until I have them on the same instance. Hope this makes sense.
          Edit: I actually like the 2nd option better. Just a menu option to merge all open instances into one.

            When you want to reboot or shut down for the day, don't close any of Opera's windows. Instead, goto Menu -> Exit in Opera. Then, the next time you open up Opera, both windows will be restored.

              @burnout426 By golly, you are right! I'm so used to ALT-F4, I haven't tried the menu exit in a long time. Thanks for the help.
