Thanks for your responses

Version: Opera 32.0
Antimal: Bullguard

and yes I'm the only user of the system.

It was acting a little weird before - was on google maps and it wouldn't load properly, went black a few times. Did the same thing in Firefox and when I came back to opera speed dial and bookmarks were all gone, history intact

After advocating and using Opera for several years I might just be about to uninstall and walk away if I can't get this resolved.

Somehow, all of my bookmarks and speed dial have been cleared out, browsing history remains intact. I did not do anything out of the ordinary, not even a restart. Windows 7, Lenovo Thinkpad.

Any ideas? This is so disappointing.
