Well, at least I have Firefox.

If it's the OS, why was it playing them yesterday and not today? Which brings me to another questions: I can see my plugins, but I can't see if they are up to date, when they were last updated, or if they are working properly. Any way to figure that out? Because, what if it's a plugin?

BTW, I am using Vista Home Premium. (And I can't find anyway to edit a post once it's made. :eek: )

I'd like to add that for some time Vimeo videos aren't playing in Opera either, though they play in other browsers.

Mostly on news websites and PBS, I am getting "couldn't load plugin". It was working fine yesterday, but when I booted up this morning, they won't play. I have updated the browser but no change. I updated Flash last evening, but no change. Any suggestions on why this happening and what I can do? You Tube videos play fine. What plugin am I supposed to have that I haven't had before?

Thank you for your reply. I have no idea what caused the bookmarks to disappear. Opera didn't crash nor did the PC. I renamed the bookmarks files and restarted Opera, but no change, probably because I had already imported bookmarks from Firefox again.

About backups, I thought there might be something in Opera specifically that a permitted one to backup or export bookmarks, but I can't find anything. At least next time (which hopefully doesn't happen) I'll know how to restore bookmarks.

This morning Opera was fine. All my bookmarks were there. In fact, there were all there when I closed the browser, but when I went to open it again about a half hour later, they were completely gone. After finding this forum I searched to see if someone else had the problem and a solution. I found one, but their solution does not work for me. I can find no way to restore the bookmarks backup. I had many bookmarks. I find it interesting that I can still access my cookies, my history, even autofill, but no bookmarks. I don't fancy starting over and I'm not happy about losing the bookmarks.

The other person who had the problem said he right clicked on the bookmarks and boommarks.bak files and got a dialog box that allowed him to restore. Looking at his screenshot, I looked for the same, but I don't get that dialog box when I right click. (I'm using Vista). I can open the files in Opera which open as html code which is no help either. Is there a solution or am I stuck with starting over? And what if they disappear again. And what is this about doing backups?
