I went looking in the latest Opera browser on my Windows 10 system for a way to backup bookmarks. Alas, I found a way to import bookmarks but not a way to make a backup copy. I found an extension to do this but it says that making a backup of bookmarks is now part of Opera. If so, where is that, please?

BTW, my success rate at getting responses to questions here is zero. Please make this the exception.

I have Opera set up to restore my tabs when I open it again. This normally works. Last night, however, it opened with a tab for Speed dial and that's all. I had a lot of open tabs. The only way to get them back seems to be to find the tabs I want in history and open them in new tabs. On top of that, I started Opera tonight. If I hover over the big O, it shows that I have two windows. However, clicking on each does not show it on the screen. I'm ready to delete it and re-install it but I do not want to lose the history.

What is going on? Any suggest for a) forcing Opera to display a page; and b) restore all my tabs, as it always has, except for once before when it lost them all as well. Thanks.

I'm afraid that after two weeks I cannot tell you what I did. Opera was running. Now that I want to see what I might have done, I can't find a way to open a new window. I think I clicked the icon that is a square of four squares for a "New Page." I didn't expect that to blitz the window or page that I already had open. Is that what you are suggesting I should have done? Thanks.

I use Windows 10 and let Opera automatically update itself. I've been using Opera for 3-4 yeas, and Firefox for at least 10 years. Plus, I was a computer programmer for many years, and I expect software to behave in particular ways. Apparently, my expectations were not shared by the Opera developers.

I regularly have lots of tabs open on a single window. I clicked the choice to open a new window. I got a new window but I no longer had the first window with its tabs. I had hoped there would be a way to access the first window but no, it was gone. Why would hat happen? I've tried to restore the tabs. I have the browser set up to restore previous windows and tabs. I have tried to reconstruct that first window's tabs but I don't remember every single one. I wish Opera had the feature that Firefox does of being able to restore recently closed tabs and windows. I see no way in Opera to do this. Is there any way to restore all the tabs I had open at one time. This experience tells me that Opera for Windows doesn't understand what "new" means. Any better way to do this than crawling through the history over and over again to try to find all the open windows? Thanks.
