      opera crashes every time i try to bookmark something (heart icon). I don't know what to do. I tried to reinstall opera, but it didn't work. I had this problem for too long. Does anyone know how to fix that?

        @splinter-ray I would start by removing the bookmarks file.

          @leocg could you be more specific? like: which file? i assume that you mean %appdata% opera gx stable folder, but there is like 3 files that have bookmarks in the name. Also is that mean that i lose all bookmarks i already havae?

            @splinter-ray The Bookmarks one. In fact you can remove all of them from the directory.

              @splinter-ray Yes, you will lost your bookmarks. You can export them first to have a backup.

              Also, you will only move the files to somewhere else, so you can return them to the original place if things don't work.

                does anyone have any other suggestions? Or at least have something more to say about this solution? Cause when i get into the bookmarks file, there was more then just websides that i wanted to save, there was also my "speed dial links(?) (you know, when you can link a webside so you just press on it and it send you to the webside you want) and those links work just fine, so i don't wanna delete this one. Also in the bookmarks file was a file named splinter-ray which is my nickname, and it was folder type of file. I don't know what it is but at shis point im kinda afraid to delete it

                  @splinter-ray As said, you don't need to delete anything, you can just move the files to a different place.

                  Then you try to bookmark a few pages to see if the problem still happens. If yes, then the problem is not with the bookmarks file

                    @splinter-ray Ah, before messing with the bookmarks file, you can disable all extensions and see if it helps
