[OU] Opera 9.6

[Ledgem]

If you happen to be using OS X with a Time Machine volume then it's as simple as restoring one file for the tabs and another file for the bookmarks. Even if you're not on OS X but you've been backing up your Opera installs then you should be able to do something similar. If you're not sure which files to restore, tell us which operating system you're running Opera from and we might be able to direct you.

If you don't have any backups, then I'm not sure that there's any way to recover your bookmarks. There's one last bit of hope for your tabs, though. If you ever used the "save sessions" feature you can recover your tabs by going to File > Sessions > Manage Sessions (any saved sessions should also appear on that menu, if I remember correctly; clicking on a session will recover it). Unfortunately sessions are not auto-saved, and this will only recover a session as of the time that you manually saved it.

I know how frustrating it is to lose all your open tabs (luckily it's a twice-a-year event for me, if that). I don't know why upgrading to the new version wiped your things... very strange.
