Great, that's helpful!
Thanks a lot for the quick reply!

When I save an Opera page (for example in my folder "philosophy"), then there I not only have this file but additionally a extra folder (as well in the folder "philosophy") with the same name (with "files" at the end). This is very annoying. What can I do to prevent that?

@yanta
And the switch to earlier versions and back to the actual one did work as well now!
Thank you all for helping me so much!!

@yanta
Hurra!! I've got my To-Read sites back - with all the sites I've filed there!!!

Thank you yanta for these hints, but it seems there is really something odd:
The link to the To-Read sites is what I meant - I installed it but can't see it anywhere...
And I tried to install a previous version of Opera - I downloaded it, but when I clicked on "execute", nothing happens...

How can I do that?
I am going to bed now, so I am looking forward to your answer tomorrow morning...

@leocg
SyncToy is for the data only, but I used Opera-safeguarding (Opera-Sicherung in German) for the same reason, so I have a folder with Opera-backups, the last one dated 2016.
Might this be useful?

@yanta
I just had a look at the extensions and realised that now I only have adblocker, and on the list of Opera's extensions there is no ghostery nor the to-read-sites!!??
Might this be the problem? And is there a possibility to go back to a previous version (just for a short time so that I have access to my to-read-sites and store them?
And what about the option to set back Opera to the original state?

I used SyncToy to store my Laptop-data on my very old PC, which is not working any more. The last time I did it, was 2016. Might there be an option (without being able to use my old PC)?

Then I have definitely Chromium.
As for the previous version: I always try to be updated, so the last update was from the directly previous version.

@leocg
I am using the actual version (55.0.2994.56), and the adblocker is Opera's. Today I realised that I still have an active adblocker, but it looks different (a blue shield with a white cross on the usual place above on the right side). I can't remember how the other one looked, but definitively different.
I don't know whether I use the Presto or the Chromium version. How can I find out?
And I can't find Opera's profile folder...

But do you have any idea how to restore the other one?

@leocg
I should add that in the previous cases I always was at home in Vienna.

@leocg
I just opened Opera and the preferred Speed Dial wasn't there. I can't remember whether there was the old Speed Dial or another site which might have been the last before closing.
Maybe a reason might have been that I have been in Italy at that time! But it is not the first time that I had this problem. It occured two or three times a year in the last years, But until this time I always was able to find it again, Now something is different...

My preferred one has several advantages:
I have more buttons (78) at once with my favorite sites without scrolling down.
Only there I have my to-read-sites. I fear that all my saved sites there are lost if I install it again on my old homepage (not knowing whether this is possible in the first place).
Another difference is that when I click on a button in my preferred homepage the site opens in a new tab, while in the old one the homepage turns into the site that I have clicked (so that I have to open up the homepage again to go to other sites).

Thank you but I have tried that already. The folder "Other bookmarks" only leads to folders who are all empty. I can see my bookmarks if I go to "Unsorted bookmarks", but there the options are only to open them all (as tabs), and some other options that don't help me either.

Thank you yanta for this hint. My speed-dial as starting page at the moment looks like this:

My preferred other one I am not able to show, of course, because I lost it...

@leocg
I don't know

@leocg
Opera starts with "Schnellwahl" (I suppose in English this is "speed dial"), which is a personalised page that I created many years ago (I suppose I imported it 7 years ago from my old PC when I bought my laptop). But working with my laptop I found this new version which is much more useful.

What is a hasbeen?
