@burnout426 Thank you kind sir! Agree with your summation, been in computer business since Day #1, but not as programmer. Since in almost 30 years, most people don't know much more about how to use a computer than they did then (if they couldn't Google, do Email, or use Social Media, they wouldn't even need one!), my philosophy has always been that developers can always add anything they think is an improvement, as long as they don't remove anything that most users, since the human animal is very habitual, get so used to they're virtual crippled if it's removed, even if, as you said, the functionality is still there, but buried inside the settings somewhere, as compared in this example, to a nice, handy little icon that at least for me was a huge convenience since I'm in and out of 100 websites a day. Thank you again for your knowledge and/or sleuthing, most appreciated! Maybe it's me, but it seems like Opera developers should be figuring that out inside of a user, albeit an experienced one. Ugh!

@donq No it doesn't, but this thread, unless I'm mistaken, is solely about the restoration of the "Recently Closed Tabs" icon, for which a solution was found above. I'm not familiar with the issue of lost shortcuts, but that may be addressed in a different thread. Hope you find it....

@raphael-mioche See elronhubbard repost above of @burnout426 solution, which works perfectly!
