Where are bookmarks stored in Opera?
Every conscious user must know the location of his profile in the browser, or rather, where this information is located on the computer. The storage location depends on several browser installation conditions and OS version. Every browser During installation on the computer, it creates a folder with the user profile. Its location may vary, but the standard path to the folder looks like the image below.
This will help users who use Windows XP.
Now let's specify the path to the profile folder for Windows 7.
After reinstalling the OS or browser Опера we go to this address again and replace the new folder with the profile with the old one. Thus, we will get all the bookmarks that were saved when using Opera in the past.
If there is no such folder in the specified path, then open the browser, write “opera:about” in the address bar without quotes and press “Enter”. All data about your browser version will be loaded onto the page. Here you can read information about the location of the profile folder and more.
If in the future you want to change the storage location of your bookmarks, you only need to set a new path once and they will be located where it is convenient for you.
To do this, you need to open the browser, then go to bookmarks by pressing the key combination “Ctrl+Shift+B”. After that, click the “File” button and “Save as...”. An explorer window will pop up. In it we select a folder for storing bookmarks, for example, it can be called “Opera Bookmarks” and in the future the bookmark database will be located here. Agree that this is very convenient. And you can always quickly find all saved links to sites.
Users who use the express panel will probably want to save them when reinstalling Windows or Opera. All data about them is stored in the folder with the browser user profile along the path that we previously specified, and these data files are called speeddial.ini and opthumb.dat. All thumbnails are stored in the “thumbnails” folder.
If you still have Opera running, and you want to save the tabs just in case, then it will be enough to do the following:
- Let's go to the Opera.
- Open the “Menu”.
- Next, go to “Manage Bookmarks” and click “File”.
- Save the bookmarks to the specified location by clicking “Export Opera Bookmarks”. Don't miss the opportunity to save all the important links to sites you use every day.
