@leocg Thank you

@sgunhouse Thank you for your help. If you are referring to my profile on the opera browser itself I can not find the term "profile" anywhere. In the upper left corner of the opera browser there the "O Menu" tab. If I click on that a long list of choices appears beneath it. But none of them use the term "profile". On the other hand if you are referring to the Opera forums I do see my profile in the upper right corner, however I have looked through the choices there and have not found anything referring saving favorites. The start-page is what I am most concerned about losing.

I would like to do a fresh install of opera due to some recent crashes while watching Youtube. I want to make sure I don't lose my start page as I have about 100 links to pages I use frequently. I also would like to make sure I don't lose my bookmarks. Can anyone offer advice for this?
