Download Opera browser with:
@burnout426 Thank you for the path. I gave it a go, and when I reopened Opera I nearly had a heart attack! I currently have 5 workspaces and multiple tabs within each ... and they were all gone! I typically permanent delete, but this time thought I wouldn't so I've restored the sessions and all is good again. I guess I'll just have to continue to close the start page every day. I appreciate everyone's help. 
@leocg Sessions isn't something that I've dealt with previously. Can you provide a path?
@leocg Yes, within On Startup:
"Begin fresh with start page" unselected
"Retain tabs from previous session: selected
"Display the start page first" slider is off
As far as I can see, my Opera browser should not open a start page when I open it. But it does every time.
@leocg The solution might possibly be within settings, But can you kindly provide the details as I have been unable to find it for weeks now.
Thank you

Hi Tracy,
Thanks for getting back to me. But why should I need to learn HTML, or CSS, or whatever just to make the Opera browser do what it already did for years? I appreciate your knowledge but this isn't the help that I need. I just need the Opera developers to fix the product that they broke. I'm not going to mess with the coding on my laptop and wouldn't expect anyone else to either. I'm not a developer, I'm an end user. Currently a very frustrated end user.
Thank you for your kindness and your time.
@leocg Hi, I see you are a volunteer, but are you able to bring this case to the developers? Seriously, who wants to have 87 teeny tiny tabs. It doesn't matter that there is a pop out description of the tab. Having them all showing is absurd. It's way too easy to click the wrong one, or close it and loose data. If you are not able to contact the developers, can you tell us how to roll back to the version before this horrid update?
