[Fixed] Opera update has just wiped out all my settings and mail accounts

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

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.

Revision 2 Fix, Nothing Was Lost

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!
