Using the Opera browser on the Internet allows you to find the necessary information and perform many operations remotely. At the same time, unexpected things happen that can interrupt access at the most inopportune moment.
A prime example is an unexpected power outage. However, when the connection is restored, you may need to restore the tabs that were open before the power outage. The procedure is carried out in several ways.
Bookmark storage areas
In the previous sections, we described several ways to help get rid of inconvenient menus. Let's consider what other places for storing bookmarks are provided by the developers in the Opera browser. Let's go back to the add pages menu and expand it.
As you can see in the screenshot, using the heart you can select other storage areas other than the bookmarks bar. The folder icon that appears when moving through items allows you to create new folders and performs functions similar to those we saw in the bookmark management menu.
The main condition for performance
When thinking about how to restore open tabs in Opera, the user must understand that this is not always possible. There are situations in which returning previously opened sites is out of the question.
The following methods for resolving the problem do not work if:
- the user works in “invisible” mode;
- the current session was terminated correctly;
- The option to save history is disabled in the browser.
It follows that in order to successfully restore previously visited web portals, the user must work in normal mode with the history saving option activated. All manipulations are carried out within the current connection session.
Synchronization
What is incognito mode in the Opera browser?
The following video explains how to synchronize and configure the express panel in Opera:
For comfortable work and saving settings and personal data in the Opera browser, it is recommended to use an account. With its help, you can set up synchronization with a cloud data storage service. Once you enable synchronization, it will be performed automatically, and at the right time, when you connect your profile, you will be able to pull all saved data from the server.
For the function to work, you need to do the following:
- At the top left, click on Menu and select Sync.
- An Opera profile login window will open on the right. If you don't have an account yet, you can create one right away.
- There are two fields in the account creation form. Enter your own email and create a password, at least 12 characters long, consisting of letters and numbers.
- Afterwards, to restore bookmarks in Opera or add them to the cloud, click “Synchronization”.
Let's sum it up
There are several ways to restore a recently closed page in the Opera Internet browser. Despite the apparent difference in approaches, they are united by several characteristics - the speed of the manipulations and the absence of requirements for the level of PC proficiency.

Controlling the browser with the mouse
Opera Mouse Control is a feature that allows you to control your browser with quick and easy mouse movements.
To turn mouse gesture controls on or off, follow these steps:
- Go to Settings (Preferences on Mac).
- Click Browser in the sidebar.
- In the Shortcuts section, select the Enable mouse gestures checkbox.
Note. If you use mouse gestures with the Magic Mouse or trackpad, the browser may not work properly.
Mouse gestures work like this: Hold down the right button, move the mouse in the direction you want, then release the button. With some practice, navigating with your mouse will become fast and comfortable.
Opera Feature
Throughout almost the entire history of the development of the Opera browser, the panel that users so diligently remove has been considered one of the main features. The developers position it as an extremely convenient function for quick access to saved sites.
Perhaps owners of wide-format monitors should take a closer look at it. The height of the screen will be enough to accommodate it. The width will allow you to place more bookmarks. If we add to this the ability to sort by folders directly in the bookmarks bar, then the logic of the browser’s creators becomes clear. Thus, options in which the use of the bookmarks bar becomes justified and advisable exist.
At the same time, owners of screens with a smaller diagonal will always strive to expand the useful space by disabling unnecessary interface elements, which can be approached in other, traditional ways.
Recovery via utilities
If bookmarks were deleted after a browser update or after a crash, and the Opera profile was not activated, Handy Recovery will help you restore them.
The program is Russian-language and easy to use. You can download it for free on the official website. Recovery procedure:
- Open “Menu” – “About” in your browser to view the path where Opera files are stored.
- Scroll down to the “Paths” section and determine the desired directory.
- Launch Handy Recovery. Click “Select disk”, select the disk partition where the browser files are located and click “Analyze”.
- Wait for the disk analysis to complete.
- Next, on the left side of the utility, go to the folder containing the browser files. Find the Bookmarks file marked with a cross. This mark means that the file has been deleted. Right-click on it to restore it.
Function menu
Another way to restore closed tabs in Opera? The next technique is to work with a specialized functional menu.
The algorithm for restoring pages previously closed in the browser requires the following steps:
- Hover your mouse over any free space in the tab bar.
- Right-click.
- In the menu that appears, select the option “Open the last closed tab...”.
- Repeat the previous step as many times as necessary.
Of course, this technique works exactly the same as a keyboard shortcut. This solution usually helps to restore pages for those who do not know the special combination on the keyboard.
