[OU] Opera 9.6

[Peter Ellis]

Hi David

Thanks for responding. I'm using XP Pro although I suspect it will be 
the last MS operating system I buy.

I've never consciously saved tabs, but whenever I close Opera and 
whenever I upgraded, I always got an opening screen that had something 
about resume as the default, so I always got everything back. I always 
have dozens of tabs open for sites I use regularly. I've not dared to 
use it since yesterday, in case touching it compromises getting 
everything back. Had a look on manage sessions, but it is empty :-(

Another machine asked me if I wanted to upgrade but I cancelled it. I 
can't take chances with this sort of thing! Without the bookmarks, I 
can't recover the tabs. They acted as an aide memoire and it will take 
weeks to remember them all, as there was no other record for most of them.

I'm wondering whether the default had changed on the opening screen and, 
not noticing, I clicked on Yes, as I always do. That would account for 
the tabs, but not for the bookmarks all going.

Cheers

Peter

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 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.
