Why would I lose my extensions upgrading on one computer but not the other? I don't get it. No one? Okay, I did install 1.78 from the download page, jumping the cookie setting (or avoidance in my case) hurdles, and it installed properly, directly from 1.58, all my extensions are there! End of story? Not really. So on the 2nd failed Opera instance, I now have 101.0.488.58 installed and thank God, it is good, my extensions are there! But the question now becomes, can I go forward, let's say all the way to 1.78? Should I try it or just stay at 1.58? Why is this such a pain? Is there a way to resolve the migration problem in Opera, or even to understand it? Is it a version to version thing or something else? Why would going from 1.56 to 1.70 on one computer be fine, but not on another? I guess that this is all about 'migration' or lack thereof, about which I understand nothing, except the files may reside on a couple of places and can become corrupted, if things don't go right? Weird that 1.70 migrated fine on one Windows computer but not on another. BTW, throughout this, synchronization seemed irrelevant. I uninstalled and went back to the last working version, 1.56-nope, no extensions.
It failed to transfer my extensions from the previously working version 1.56, so I attempted upgrading to 1.78, as I saw that that was now the latest. I attempted to install 1.70 on the other Windows computer.
