Also I'm getting error about launcher.exe crash popup on start. After restarting the browser all the previously selected sites preferences are gone. So the problem is now that when I install 58 version again (offline installer from ftp backed up profile folder), browser doesn't remember such things like: logins, filters on web pages, language settings and similar info. I wanted to install a 66 or 67 version as portable, I don't remember whether I forgot to select 'standalone installation' in the installer, or I selected wrong 'for all users' or for 'current user only', or something else went wrong. I have broken something in my O58 installation (with autoupdate feature disabled) on one of my PCs. But, that's only in that specific case.Īndrew84 last edited by I wanted to create a new topic, but I found this thread using search. Extensions should be retained in that situation. An exception to this is if you're using a standalone installation of Opera and copy that over. Maybe some of them have options to export and import settings/data. So, in short, you'll have to reinstall your extensions with new extension data and settings. If you copy over your profile, once Opera starts, it will detect that you're using a difference installation of Windows and wipe out your extensions and their data to protect you. That way, if you have to, you can always import them.Įxtensions won't be carried over to the new Windows installation. That way, you can always import bookmarks back if you need to.įor passwords, goto the URL opera://settings/passwords, click the kebab menu (3 vertical dots) to the right of "Saved Passwords" and choose to export your passwords to a csv file. Since Speed Dials on the start page are bookmarks, they will be backed up this way too (minus speed dial thumbnails). Then, if you every have to, you can right-click the folder and choose "open all in tabs".įor bookmarks, goto the URL opera://bookmarks and use the drop-down at the bottom of the page to export them as an html file. But, also, don't rely on this as the only backup measure.Įven if you're using Opera Sync to sync your passwords and bookmarks, and opened tabs (and or just backing up the profile and copying it to the new installation of Windows), I'd export them for good measure.įor opened tabs, right-click on a tab and choose "Save all tabs as Speed Dial folder". If you sync things with Opera Sync, check to make sure they're there. That way, if Opera messes something up and wipes out all your stuff, you still have the original backed-up copy to work with. On the new installation of Windows, paste a copy of your backed-up profile folder. Then, on the new install of Windows, you create "C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Roaming\Opera Software" and paste your backed-up "Opera Stable" profile folder in it (and do the same for "C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Local\Opera Software" and the "Opera Stable" cache folder if you want). But, if you want, you can instead copy over your backed-up profile first so that when you install Opera and it runs, it will automatically use your profile instead of a new one.įor example, you back up "C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Roaming\Opera Software\Opera Stable" (and "C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Local\Opera Software\Opera Stable" if you also want to back up your cache). You will have to delete that fresh profile while Opera is closed first. If you run Opera on the new installation of Windows before copying your backed-up profile over, Opera will create a fresh profile.If anything is important to you like your bookmarks and passwords, you can export those first and import them afterwards. Then, if that fails, you might have to delete your data from and try again. You can even try with without deleting your data at first if you want. Goto the URL opera://about for the location. Now, instead of reinstalling Opera, you might be able to get away with deleting just the "sync" folder in Opera's profile folder while Opera is close. Don't sync settings though as that can be buggy. Then, when you set up sync, it should work again. Then, you'll have to uninstall Opera (while choosing to delete your data, which will cause you to lose everything) and then reinstall. I'd goto and choose to reset (it'll say reset your password, but it means reset your data really).
