Can Opera browser bookmark all open tabs in one swoop like Firefox can?

Dear Opera browser experts:

I am a Firefox lover and I cannot live without its bookmark all open tabs in one swoop feature.

Can Opera do that?

I have been doing some research and the answer seems to be that it is not possible to bookmark all open tabs in one swoop like what can be done through Firefox.
For example, http://help.opera.com/Windows/9.20/en/bookmarks.html says nothing about that feature.

It seems that if I want to bookmark multiple tabs I have to bookmark each tab one by one. This is time consuming.

I could be wrong because I have also come across some tantalizing advice such as the following:
When you have multiple tabs open.. you can save them as sessions to come back whenever you want to, can also manage multiple sessions."

But how does one go about doing exactly this?

Is there a third party plug in or solution that can get around this problem?

Please advise.

Thanks a million.

File -> Sessions -> save session.

Not quite the same, but close.

Put the bookmarks you want to open in a single folder. Bookmarking all open windows is a little complicated, but doable. (Bookmarks > Manage Bookmarks; right- or ctrl-click in the right pane and select "Bookmark all open pages".)

Then, when you want to reopen them, go to your bookmarks menu, go to the folder, and select "Open all folder items".

(This is on a Mac. The Windows edition may be different, but shouldn't be.)
