@tastodd Working fine here.

For now, you can use https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/disable-automatic-tab-dis/dnhngfnfolbmhgealdpolmhimnoliiok or one of the other extensions like it. Or, you can goto the URL opera://discards and do it manually for the tabs you want.

On Windows, the "Sessions" folder should be in "C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Roaming\Opera Software\Opera Stable\Default".

Are you sure you made a backup of the whole ""C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Roaming\Opera Software\Opera Stable" folder from the old computer (including the "Default" folder)?

You should see files like this in it:

Session_13348571665369126
Session_13348656000326931
Tabs_13348571665673553
Tabs_13348656002298614

The Session_timestamp files contain your opened tabs and should contain what islands and workspaces they belong to.

The Tabs_timestamp files contain your recently-closed tabs list.

If you're able to find them, you can delete all files in the current "Sessions" folder and place copies of the backups there to see if your tabs get restored. Just note that sometimes this might not from one computer to the next.

In Chromium, when you delete a bookmark, it just gives you an option to undo. For Opera, just think of it as an undo list.

@concretable said in Delete the recycle bin from bookmarks.:

because bookmarks that have been discarded will keep coming back if you do not empty it after deleting the bookmarks.

I've heard some users complain about that when it comes to default-provide speed dials at least. In that case, I don't remember if they were moved out of the trash and put back or just new copies were generated. Has this ever happened for a regular bookmark?

Anything coming out of the trash on its own, seems like a bug to me.

With that said though, in Chrome, I don't mind not having a trash view for bookmarks.

Download something again and it should reappear. Then, it should stay until you clear your downloads or until your downloads are old enough.

Just the workspaces themselves or what tabs are in them too? Do you want to switch to Opera GX or still use both? Do you want to start fresh with Opera GX with the added workspaces or do you have Opera GX all set up like you want and different from Opera and you want to just add the workspaces to Opera GX?

If you just want to switch to Opera GX, do this:

• In "C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Roaming\Opera Software", delete the "Opera GX Stable" folder if it exists and rename the "Opera Stable" folder to "Opera GX Stable".

• In "C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Local\Opera Software", delete the "Opera GX Stable" folder if it exists and rename the "Opera Stable" folder to "Opera GX Stable".

Then, when you run Opera GX, you should have all your stuff (including workspaces and what tabs are in them).

@igrach Yeah, that's why I said "but not this time".

I don't understand #2. "Copy" is available. Paste isn't there, but why would you need it in that case?

Starting with Opera 97.0.4711.0, there's a "Don't warn me again" link in the warning you can click.

The setting is stored at root/devtools/synced_preferences_sync_disabled/showConsoleSecurityWarning in the "Preferences" file in the profile folder. It gets the value of false. (Well, currently, it gets the value of the string "false" instead of a bool false, but it still hides the warning message all the same.)

This is fixed in the latest stable build 86.0.4363.32.

Any solution?

No solution at the moment.

Opera and its updater don't wipe out passwords when Opera updates. If this is happening, there's something wrong and something is preventing the updater (and or Opera) from functioning properly during an update.

Your profile might be corrupted. Goto the URL opera://about, take note of the "profile" path, close Opera, and rename the profile folder to start all over with a fresh profile.

You might need to uninstall and reinstall Opera just in case something is corrupted with Opera's program files.

The file and folder read and write permissions for the profile folder and everything in it might be messed up. Check the security of the files and folders to make sure your user has full read and write access to them. Make sure they're not set to read-only. Check Opera's install folder too.

If you're using Opera Sync, start with a new profile in Opera and don't use Opera Sync anymore. Sync can be funny, especially if you sync settings.

There could be security software on your computer that's interfering with Opera. You can add Opera's install, profile, and cache folders to the exception list of your anti-virus etc.

You might have some corrupted system files. You can check and fix them.

You can use https://crystalmark.info/en/software/crystaldiskinfo/ to check the health of your hard drive. If it's bad, it could cause corruption sometimes with files and cause updates to break things.

You can try my suggestion at https://www.reddit.com/r/operabrowser/comments/g5xk07/opera_68_is_here_with_builtin_instagram_in_the/fo6f4iu?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x if you want.

To get to the full list in chrome, you can goto the URL chrome://chrome-urls/ or chrome://about. Though, Opera doesn't support all of them and some are different in Opera. I think there might be a few opera-specific ones too. So, Chrome's list isn't perfect, but it'll help.

Opera should have a chrome-urls link too, but it doesn't.

Opera is based on Chromium and Chromium doesn't really support the behavior. Opera has to hack the source to make it work. With Chromium 73, they changed so much stuff in that area that it broke speed dial extensions and it became too much work for Opera to make them work.

Goto the URL opera://settings/search. You'll see a drop-down there where you can choose a different default search engine. The list is limited to the default search engines listed under "Manage search engines". You can set a search engine you add as the default.

In settings, check "show advanced settings", search for "hardware" and disable hardware acceleration.

Download http://shadow2531.com/opera/wiki/How to Add Opera Mail to the Win7 8 Default Progams List - Mail Client ( M2 ) - Opera Wiki.mhtml and open it. That will tell you how. For any reg files that it points to, look for them in http://shadow2531.com/opera/wiki/
