Profile and all tabs vanished after update

I was having trouble with one webpage and decided to update Opera. I went into Update & Recovery and clicked Check for update. It seemed to download the latest version then nothing happened. Then I read what it said under Recovery, "If the browser isn't running well, resetting to a default state might help. You can choose to preserve your personal data and only rest settings or to perform a fully fresh reinstall." I clicked on Recover..., left 'Keep my data and only reset Opera settings.' selected and clicked Recover. After relaunching Opera, I found that I had a clean install of the browser but none of my 230-odd tabs had survived. I went into Extensions and found they were still listed but all were turned off. I switched on the Session Buddy extension, which should have had a record of all my tabs and tab history, but it was completely empty, only showing the two tabs currently open. After finding this forum and reading the rules, I renamed my Opera profile and restarted Opera, so now it is the same as it was, but my extensions have gone. Where can I go from here? How can I restore my old profile or has it gone forever? I feel a bit sick; years of Internet activity has disappeared. I searched the topics here but couldn't find anything similar to my problem. I would be grateful for any help.
