Well, my browser just updated to version 70 today. The recently closed tabs button is gone. I'm already missing it. Please reinstate it. We can't all be wrong!

Why don't we all duplicate our posts in this forum to the Opera blog where maybe the devs will see the depth of feeling on this so called improvement. Scroll down to the bottom of the page to add your comments.

Yikes, I have just upgraded to Opera 25 yesterday and today it's running very slow.

I thought I'd take a look in the Windows Task Manager and I was amazed to see opera.exe running 10 times in the "Processes" tab but it shows up only once in the "Applications" tab.

What is going on please?

I'm running on XP (I know!) so is it not compatible or something?

I haven't needed to post on here for several years but I felt so strongly about this that I've had to sign in and update my profile just to do so.

As you can probably guess, I didn't realise how much I used the Recently Closed Tabs drop down arrow until it disappeared. So add my name to the list of disgruntled users. In the meantime I have disabled the flag and hope the developers realised their mistake for future updates.

Thanks for the tip to change it temporarily.

Well, my browser just updated to version 70 today. The recently closed tabs button is gone. I'm already missing it. Please reinstate it or at least give us the option to enable it. We can't all be wrong!

@leocg said in Where is the "Recently closed tabs/Tab menu" button on the top right?:

@lynnpin It's not in Opera for Windows, so it can't appear there. In Opera for Computers, it is the first topic after the pinned ones.

Thanks, I see it now.

Opera for computers > Opera for Windows

This thread is in constant use, has 349 posts and 1.8k views and yet it isn't at the top of the first page of results. I wonder why?

Return it. Please...
Or let me choose (like it was: opera://flags/#search-in-open-tabs)

Excellent solution that should keep everyone happy.

...And, go into "Alt + p -> advanced -> programs" in Opera 12.17 and make sure it's set to check for defaults. Also, click "details" there and if it doesn't load "default programs" in windows and has a bunch of checkboxes for file types and protocols instead, make sure http and https are checked and click ok.

Switching on this morning still didn't solve the problem but Burnout's suggestion above did work without reinstalling everything.

Thank you very much!

I'm not sure how to check for that but I have been fiddling with the settings in Windows and have just clicked another link in an email to test it and, once again, Opera 26 started up and even asked if I wanted it to be the default browser! So why is it the default browser when it thinks it isn't!

I'm closing my computer now but tomorrow I will see if closing the browsers down and restarting Windows will have any effect.
