How to rollback without losing bookmarks/favorites?

I love Opera, but I've decided I prefer the previous version to 10.51 I'd like to roll back. (That'll teach me not to back up before upgrading.) How can I do this without losing my bookmarks and everything? Will I need to install the older version of Opera into a new directory and import things or what? I have no mail or RSS feeds, just bookmarks, saved passwords and toolbar customizations.

Thanks!

Someone showed me to install and "upgrade" to the older version. It was not my intuition that this would work, but apparently it does. I learned this after I did it wrong, and so have not tried it yet. Hope it helps you.

You should be able to simply do an "upgrade" install over it. If not, just choose "new install" and select the same folder. You won't loose anything you mentioned.

you could also use http://link.opera.com/ to sync your bookmarks. that way you can safely downgrade and simply import the link data again.
