        The v. 102.0.4880.16 installation is a disaster! 🤬 Syncing helps, but a lot is messed up..
        Here's my question:
        1. Speed Dial: After syncing, I can access my Speed Dial by clicking Bookmarks. It's listed there with Speed Dials from phones & tablet. How do I restore this PC's Speed Dial links to the current Speed Dial tab? Surely we don't have to open each link & re-save to Speed Dial??!!!
        ~Edit~
        In looking at Speed Dials in Bookmarks, In the Speed Dial drop-down list, I see that this installation has created a 2nd (new) Speed Dial folder with a name identical to the folder used before this update was installed. I'm going to mess with it. Will let you know what happens...
        Step 1: Deleted new Speed Dial folder.
        Result: A new empty folder of the same name was created at the top of the Speed Dial drop-down list.

        I don't think there's a way to recover #2 or 3
        2. Workspaces: All Workspaces are empty. The Workspaces are still there, but every tab in each workspace is gone
        3. Pinned tabs... all gone!

          Hello,
          I have a backup of the booksmarks file, and I have done this before, following directions for a full opera backup. In tracking issues the wifes comp died, but had backed up her main drive, so I have the data.

          This is a new install of Windows10 64 Pro, when i coped the booksmarks back over to C:\users%username%\appdata\roamng\opera software\opera stable*

          I have done this before and t worked fine. This time there bookmark bar is not showing and the booksmarks are gone as well.

          When I opened the bookmarks file in Notepad++ can see the different links and if they are just bookmarks or on the bar as well.

          I have never seen this error before, any advice? Comp it came from was the same OS and install media.

                After updating Opera all my tabs are gone. Browsing history is deleted. And my account didn't back up the tabs, etc well.

                It is a big problem for me.

                Any chance to recover them?

                I see I need to install an addon.

                Thanks in advance.

                  @stupot123 It happened the same to me. Opera was actualized to Opera One and everything is gone.

                    So I wasn't aware that opera was going to have a massive software update. Normally, I would open Opera and have all my tabs recovered like it usually does, but it didn't.

                    I was shocked to see that my browser was wiped clean. No tabs, no bookmarks, no history, nothing.

                    Is there a way to recover this? I had my opera sync on but I don't exactly know how to recover it from there. Moreover, I had huge amounts of tabs opened in five different workspaces specifically for different types of work/topics like one specifically for studying, others for my work, and I need them badly.

                    The tabs showed in my sync content weren't even exactly as I had left my browser. Is there like a recovery option from the source files? A record of my old sessions? I did roam around the source files but I'm not exactly sure what to do with the files since they are just "file"s.

                              Opera automatically updated my desktop browser and on update I lost all my bookmarks, sites, settings, extensions. ALL LOST!
                              I'm extremely disappointed.

                              I've been using Opera for years and I'm going to delete this crap from my computer and phone. I'll have to waste a lot of time trying to remember everything and recover what I lost.

                              Crap amateurs.

                                Thanks, getting the data into the other directory per the instructions did the trick.

                                If she has further issues i will post back.

                                    @aimzz I have not seen anything where Opera have acknowledged there was a problem with the accounts, those of us who were syncing and still lost everything need some resolution.

                                    Can you imagine a bank losing all your banking info and suddenly having no idea what you had in your account? Yeah, that. This weekend I missed deadlines with work and that will not stand with me, I will be off as soon as I have all I need.

                                    My work around was to find an old version of Opera, and without closing the browser for the last few days screen shot passwords, and downloaded the file, and downloaded bookmarks. If I close the browser numpty Opera will return. So if you are in need of this solution, leave your comps on and leave the browser open until you have everything you need.

                                      @khryausohowl download a different browser, remove numpty Opera, run a registry clean, download an old version of Opera, when you have that and log in your info will be there, bookmarks and passwords, as they should be.

                                      Download the passwords and bookmarks, Do Not Close The Browser until you have everything you need then it's up to you if you stay with Opera or take your info to a more reliable browser, one that knows this may cost even synced users their data and warns users to back up in advance of the update, or, more realistically, as everyone else does, saves it in a safe place on their end and restores if for you.

                                        Opera, if you are listening to your users, please give us official instructions re how to regain our bookmarks, history, workspaces, and tabs. Some very helpful Opera users have posted various ways to recover this lost data, but the response from users who have tried these methods has been mixed: it appears to have worked for some people but not others. We need Opera to clarify exactly what we have to do to recover all the data which we have trusted with you, and which disappeared with your latest update. Please do not ignore us!

                                            Today my Opera have upgraded to Opera One 102.0.4880.16 and lost all tabs and worlspaces. It seems a brand new instalation.
                                            I am searching for my tabs from yesterday and cannot find. Even my speed-dial saved ine is missed.
                                            Is there any solution?
