I have just (10 minutes ago) allowed updates to Firefox, Thunderbird and Opera.
The first two are fine, but Opera (12.15) is like a brand new installation.
This is my main browser and email client, so I have just lost all my contacts, saved settings, passwords, history and Speed Dial.
Is there any way to roll back to previous version or to recover my settings?
I wanted to post a warning to prevent anyone else experiencing this.

I can confirm that, it happened to me as well. Interesting thing is, that the old settings are still in the profile folder, like the speed-dial config, or the thumbs for the speed-dial and the add-ons like Addblock. Would love to have my old settings back without doing everything manually again.
The original 12.15 release had Opera looking at the local Opera profile directory instead of the portable one due to a build error. The 12.15 Rev 2 release points it to the proper portable location again. Our apologies for the issue.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
Just updated again - all back to normal. Thank you!
