      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.

                            Here is how I got my bookmarks back after the latest update:

                            Open the file manager and go to C:users/(your name)/appdata/roaming/opera software/opera stable.
                            Find the file named Bookmarks. It will have no extension. Thatโ€™s your old bookmark file
                            Copy it.
                            Now open the Default folder. In it you will find another file named Bookmarks. It will be small.
                            Rename it something like Bookmarks update.
                            Now paste your old Bookmarks file into the Default folder.
                            Re-start Opera and your bookmarks should be back.

                            It worked for me.

                              When I turned on my Windows PC this morning and started Opera, I noticed none of the bookmarks are showing up. I do see the following files with over 200KB in size and they were updated last night.

                              C:\Users<Username>\AppData\Roaming\Opera Software\Opera Stable\Bookmarks
                              C:\Users<Username>\AppData\Roaming\Opera Software\Opera Stable\Bookmarks.bak

                              I am guessing the bookmarks I saved until yesterday are probably present in these files. I tried doing an "Import Bookmarks" operation by adding a .html extension to these files. But, I don't see the bookmarks getting restored. Does anyone know how to restore bookmarks in this situation? Really appreciate your help. I realized I should setup sync of bookmarks after I restore.

                                I turned on my computer after work and after an auto-Opera update all my bookmarks are completely gone.

                                Anyone have any ides on how to get them back?

                                Thanks

                                    Lost everything saved as well, even the settings were reset. Beyond frustrating

                                      Rather than offering a solution, Opera staff just put all the complaints in a single thread to be hidden away. Absolutely appalling

                                        Every single one of my settings, bookmarks, history, everything, it all reset on the most resent update. What the hell happened? How do I fix this? I have a lot of stuff that I needed, all lost now.

                                            Also lost my tabs again from only one workspace, but not after the latest update:

                                            Problem: After a download of a PDF I double clicked in the download notification and it should open - but it didn't for me - but it did on the 2nd monitor but on this I'd running my company laptop on HDMI 2 for days.

                                            Only in rare cases I switch the 2nd monitor to HDMI 1 - my PC 2nd monitor.

                                            Finally the Opera window 2 was open on HDMI 2 which I've never seen. Closed Opera on main window last night. Turned on today. All tabs lost on first workspace - maybe because from that I'd opened the PDF.

                                            I noticed this situation ~ 10 days ago when I lost all tabs in another workspace. In this case I've moved a window to the 2nd monitor, closed the window first, then the main window. But next day I'd lost them also.

                                            There should be a warning when closing the Opera main window (started first) and another Opera window is open so we can cancel and close the other Opera windows first - also on not active 2nd monitor.

                                            However - my little small Opera startup script saved it all ๐Ÿ˜˜ and I was able to restore the previous session with all tabs - more or less.

                                            I recommend to use it until Opera has a better solution:

                                            Using Opera since version 6.
