@countrygirl1411 You're a star! Came here with the same problem and Yes !!! Went into settings and disabled "block tracers" under advanced et voila! Thank you!!!

@burnout426 said in How to set an "Other speed dial" as home page or start page?:

opera://bookmarks

Thank you so much for trying, but nope.

A) The link you gave opens to just a blank page. B ) the import function on that page is for other browsers not another iteration - or the same one - of Opera; C) no search of bookmarks in my computer turns up an accessible copyable Bookmarks.html file. I know it's there, but Windows search is a piece of garbage and finds nothing. It just does not work. D) The bookmarks I want are already in the bookmarks area in Opera appearing, as noted, on the page you get by clicking "Other Speed Dials" which cannot be made the Home/Opening Page which is what I want and you cannot open two separate instances of Opera to realistically copy then paste and when you open the page with Other Speed Dials you can't copy the bookmark then go to another TAB that's the opening/front page of the bookmarks and paste there.

Let's keep trying! Thank you!

I was running Laptop 1 with Opera Browser and had created a neatly foldered list of bookmarks that opened as the home or start page - there may be a difference - when I clicked the Opera Button in my task bar.

In short: Opera's Opening Screen showed: A) all the tabs that were opened when I closed it right on top, B ) under that the Google typing search and C) under that my speed dial with my neatly foldered bookmarks.

I am now on Laptop 2 as Laptop 1 be dead. I downloaded Opera Browser and signed in, and was able to get my old Speed Dial Page to be there as a Tab that is apparently Bookmarks; Other Speed Dials It's all foldered and my plaint on that page is that it doesn't show the icons of the individual bookmarks as little icons within the large folder icon, it's a white blank with just the name I gave the folder below it. I'd love to fix this, but it's less important than the below issue.

I really want that original "Other Speed dial" page to be the Opening Page under the tabs and the Google Browser when I click my lovely "Red O" to Open Opera.

Any idea how to do this?

Thanks! Alley

@burnout426 Thank you for working on this; I wanted to make sure this problem doesn't vanish into the aether. With respect to all, please let's not sidetrack into the --best-- way to handle Opera, but focus on the simple issue, just: if two Opera windows --are-- open when the computer shuts down, that the tabs in the first window are lost and, for some reason, do not seem to appear in the History.

So a way to ensure those tabs do not vanish would be appreciated.

Thank you!

@leocg Apologies. I'm --not-- shouting but it's my way of providing the emphasis that a voice can. ADBL

@sgunhouse Again, thank you!!! But with GREAT respect I think you keep missing the point.

A) I of course have it set to reopen all tabs upon reopening Opera - so I have it set to a Session if that's the proper term - thank you!

B ) Had I REMEMBERED there were TWO open windows - which I NEVER have - I would have shut the second before rebooting. I forgot there were TWO WINDOWS open, and the problem is that WHEN THERE ARE --TWO OPERA WINDOWS-- OPEN IT WILL LOSE THE TABS OPEN IN THE FIRST WINDOW AND ONLY REOPEN WHAT WAS IN THE SECOND WINDOW.

C) Why I didn't initially panic was that the last time this happened - several iterations of Opera ago - I was able to go into History and if I dove deep enough, the PREVIOUS time that I rebooted when it had properly reopened Opera - I would see that list of tabs clustered together as they would have "reopened/reinitialized" themselves the LAST TIME OPERA OPENED WHEN IT --DID-- OPEN ALL THE TABS.

What made this instance so horrific is that while I HAD reopened and closed Opera - and thus reloaded all my tabs - in recent memory, when I went into History as far back as a MONTH there was NO instance of the tabs reopening in a clump so I could find them!

So it appears the problem is that somehow now in Opera when it reopens all the tabs upon rebooting it DOES NOT write them into HISTORY. This is truly bizarre and I don't get it. Now mind: I did NOT "touch" the tab and watch it individually reload, but that last time before the problem when Opera reloaded each tab circled and then the name of the site showed up on the tab as if it HAD reloaded the tabs which SHOULD have "written them" into Opera's History.

So I guess the BIG question is: is this NOT true? Does one now have to click on EACH INDIVIDUAL tab and make SURE it "fully reloads" to ensure it appears in history?

@sgunhouse First, thanks for responding!

A. Because I rebooted it which I do periodically to let it reset, let go of programs or windows it holds on to that are not being used. Trust me: it speeds up and frees cache and memory. The problem occurred NOT because of the rebooting - works fine - but because I had TWO WINDOWS of OPERA BROWSER open to compare two things - which I never do - instead of side by side tabs. My research shows that it has LONG been a known problem in Opera apparently, that if you open a second WINDOW with a tab or two and you reboot it will ONLY OPEN THE SECOND WINDOW WHICH DOES NOT HAVE ALL YOUR TABS FROM THE FIRST WINDOW.

B. If you can elucidate IN DETAIL what "saving the tabs as a session" means I would REALLY appreciate that! I didn't bookmark or speed dial as for the past two years I have NEVER had a problem. My Opera is set to re-open tabs when the computer/browser reboots and it has done this perfectly. It was the "two browser WINDOWS" open that created the problem.

C) I'm not sure what you mean by "the windows that had been opened ... tab bar menu?" A) I'm not sure what "tab bar menu" is? If you mean the tab on the upper left that says "Menu" ... I checked very single listing on the dropdown and made sure to check all arrows off each and there was NOTHING that would have re-opened that original window that I could find. If I missed something pretty please tell me so I can know and/or check.

Again, thank you so much for responding.

I'd have thought this would've been fixed YEARS ago. Had TWO Opera windows open - one with a MONTH of carefully saved tabs. Computer rebooted and opened only the SECOND window thus all the tabs are GONE. And - contrary to a previous version of Opera - somehow even though I had rebooted Opera several times the pages that had reloaded each time were NOT saved in HISTORY. A) Unacceptable; B ) How can one stop this from happening again; C) is there any way to SEARCH HISTORY on PC so that I can see if there was a reopening buried a couple of months down? I scrolled history for a few hours but don't see these tabs ANYwhere.

I'm using Opera 27 - I think it updated itself on its own or disabled an extension or something - because I HAD a menu bar with the old menu, edit, file, view etc. and it vanished today.

Yes: I know it's kickin' it old skool. I get it; but it works for me as menu still exists in other programs so it's a natural brain thing. I know Opera has nixed menu toolbar, but can anyone point me to a CURRENT add-on or extension or anything to get back those buttons or whatever you want to call them via a toolbar above or below my tabs and search window?

THANKS and PLEASE let's NOT get lost in "why are you using that" "you don't need that" etc. Let's just let me be who I am and be glad I respect the community and ask for HELP!!!
