      I had closed Opera One, and later re-opened it without restarting my computer. Everything in Opera has completely reset back to default. It even had to do an update which I had previously done.

      Everything is gone:

      • history
      • bookmarks
      • saved passwords
      • Setting

      It's as though I am on a new computer. Any ideas on what happened and if it can be reset? I tried to do a "recovery" and that didn't work.

        I opened Opera today and lost all the tabs I had open. I was not logged in into my google account anymore, I lost my workspaces, I lost my bookmarks, I lost my extensions,... It's as if I had reinstalled Opera. I had the same problem when upgrading from Opera to Opera One so I guess there was some kind of update.

        After I logged into my opera account I at least got my history, workspaces and bookmarks back. It's really a hassle to reopen all my tabs I had open to either save a website or join in a later session. Also the Homepage button is missing which I don't like in the new opera.

          I got mine to work by selecting all in the Opera stable appdata roaming file and deselecting the default. and copying all into the default. All were restored including my addons. No cookies were saved. This was a complete restore to almost normal

              Thx for the tip. I deleted the default folder, which worked perfectly.

                I had the same issue...I have lost precious and needed information/data regarding my job and my next exams....I had to read forums and tried several "solutions" (The "deleting default folder" didn't workout for me) until I solved. Vaguely and temporarily, since i had to install an old version, and now I'm starting a crusade to find an easy and comprehensively way to disable auto update. How difficult is to provide an option in settings to do it????

                I have had some bugs/slight problems with opera lately, just a nuance that hopely gets solved eventually, no problem. But this is not annoying, it is scary. Scary how you can lost all your data involuntarily.

                          Me too having a second time for gone tabs, when launching Opera. Strangely tabs are gone only in main active workspace, only speeddial tab opened, also there's no history or session saved also. Ctr+Shitf+T opens tabs that were closed yesterday.

                            Opera updated, and now my whole list of bookmarks are gone. I saved them so I wouldn't have to remember them, ......now I need to remember them in order to save them again.

                            Is it possible they are stored somewhere else and/or I can get them back from the previous version?

                            Thanks

                              Get your stuff together, seriously. I think this is the last chance I'm going to give Opera, the browser I've been using for more than 2 decades. Next time it loses everything again, I'm out for good.

                              Can we please start paying for the browser in exchange for some quality and the removal of all the pointless annoyances and bugs that 100 brought?

                              Now it starts again the reinstallation of tens of extensions and reopening of all the tabs...

                              On the bug itself, it's almost as if it created a new profile, all tabs and extensions are gone. History is there however.

                                    Hi! The same thing just happened to me...
                                    Can you explain a bit more how you recovered you personalization?

                                      Earlier today while not using opera I received a pop up re. using opera vpn.
                                      I closed it and the browser opened. When it did all of my info. was gone. Tabs, bookmarks and history.
                                      I do not understand the fixes that have been posted. Would it be possible for someone to post step by step instructions?
                                      Thanks.

                                          Opened opera to a new version of opera one. Lost all my history, bookmarks, tabs and extensions. this is the first time I lost everything. I logged in, didn't get anything back. Same state as installing opera for the first time.
