My extensions are all gone! How do I get them back?


My Opera extensions have all disappeared! How do I get them back?

One that is particularly important to recover is one that has a link to web pages I need to revisit.

I have a recent backup of my hard drive. What file or files do I need to recover the extensions?

All fixed. After I got my menus updated I was able to load Extension Manager and re-enable all extensions.

In Extension Manager I found that all of my extensions had become disabled some time yesterday. Weird! I didn't do that.

Opera may have crashed, in which case you would have been presented with options for restarting Opera. One of those options is to start Opera with all extensions disabled.

That could be what happened.

I routinely shut down my computer with Opera still running, so the tabs I have open will still be there next time.

When Opera restarts that next time, its restart page has several button at the lower right, but on my present computer (which has a wide and not very high screen) only the tops of those buttons are visible -- I can't see the text on them. I know though from past experience that the left one is the OK button. I don't remember what the others are, but likely one is to disable extensions.

Which brings up the mystery of why this page in Opera does not recognize my screen resolution, while all web pages display fine.

As it's a rather small window (at least, it is for me and my 1600x900 screen), Opera may have assumed it would fit on most screens (I would have too). I believe it is resizable, so you should be able to fit it to your screen if it's too big.
