[Solved]The captive portal to access Wi-Fi Internet is not available

We have a captive portal in our university which requires just to press a button to start using Internet. But it doesn't work with Opera(((
What I do is funny))) I run FireFox, it says you need to go to access page, I agree, it opens detectportal.firefox.com/canonical.html, which somehow redirects to the address of our local captive portal page (its address contains random numbers, so I can't bookmark it), on which I press the welcome button, and the Internet goes. Then I shutdown FireFox, run Opera and use the Internet)))
How to make Opera find our captive portal, please? I run WIndows 10 and my Opera is up-to-date.

@mardiyah, of course, I tried with all the extentions off, no change
@leocg, I've got Chrome, it acts just the same: Opera and Chrome say ERR_CONNECTION_CLOSED.
Meanwhile Firefox shows a hint saying (not literally) 'You have to go to a spectial page to use this network' and a button 'Open the page'. Then it goes to their detectportal.firefox.com/canonical.html, which somehow redirects to our local address, which today was:
http://c3.glhs.ru/pr/2c83d107b74e5a0ec77b48b06ba95d1e/index?pi=3166 (it will be different the other time). There I press 'Go to Internet' of our university, and all the programs use the Internet. -

@bogatovrn You need to contact the IT support of your University and ask how to access the internet using Chrome and other browsers.
What happens if you use that Firefox page in Opera?

In Opera and Chrome, try going to http://clients3.google.com/generate_204 to see what happens.
