Description David Edwards 2016-06-19 19:05:00 UTC
User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/51.0.2704.84 Safari/537.36 OPR/38.0.2220.31
Build Identifier: 5.1.3.2 (x64)

Normally when I close my Opera browser, or even if there is a problem with the computer, on re-opening all my tabs are restored. During the download of 5.3.2.1 (upgrading from 5.0.4) I was told I had to close Opera as it was using some component of Libre Office. On reopening Opera none of the tabs were restored (and I had about 20 open, some of which will be difficult to find again). If there is a way of avoiding this I am sure other users would also appreciate it! ( I am not sure about the (AMD64) in hardware - but I see no other way to say it was a 64 bit Windows operating system - 7 in fact.)

Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
1.presumably one would open a number of tabs in Opera and download 5.1.3.2 again to reproduce this. 
2.
3.

Were you downloading from the http://www.libreoffice.org/download/libreoffice-fresh/ site? Or were you performing a check for updates "upgrade", from LibreOffice main menu Help -> Check for Updates?

In either case the download action is distinct from the installation--which requires a launch of misexec.exe Microsoft Installer run against the package.

Opera should not have complained--what network resources WEBDAV or CMIS for example were you connected to when you ran the update?

OP replied in PM...

Thanks for this. I'm afraid I'm probably not technically savvy enough to reply adequately. I was installing when a message came up that I needed to close Opera as it was preventing the installation completing - because it was using some element of the previous Libre Office installed I think. So I closed it. The relaunched installation went fine but when I relaunched Opera I got none of the tabs that had been open (there were around 20 of them). It wasn't Opera that complained but the installer that complained about Opera, if you like. I had previously been using 5.0.4 and had downloaded and was installing 5.1.3.2 (x64). 

I am afraid I have no idea what the answer to your question about network resources is.

Maybe it was a problem with Opera, but in the past whatever happened if it was closed it would always reopen all the previously open tabs when restarted. It's not a big deal in any case, just a bit annoying - there are some old tabs which I may have some difficulty to find again and I was hoping to spare others the same experience.

Probably not worth wasting too much time on if what happened isn't easy to deduce, as I probably can't supply enough details to help you resolve it.
