@leocg So then it's an Amazon thing, not an Opera theng.

If they are using a script, you may be able to right-click Open the links (it will bypass "on click" scripts if you use the context menu). Otherwise you need to wait for Amazon to fix it.

@sgunhouse I mean that clicking on the link in the first post results on that message, no matter the browser.

When I tried to access amazon.com, I was redirected to the local Amazon page.

@jimjinnj It was a shortcut that you've created? Or it was one that comes with Opera?

@leocg no shortcut. I am clicking links directly on Amazon, e.g, a pair of shoes. but not all links result in the odd message. some work.

@sgunhouse I just clicked "amazon basics" link on the landing page. I got the error again. however, if I right click, choose "open in link new page" it goes through.
so I am agreeding with someone here that it is a amazon issue.
I will let it go and see what happens. thanks for all the help and isdeas, folks.

@jimjinnj Not Amazon unless it only happens while logged in - some extension though still using "on click" script. I have no account on Amazon, if I go to the front page the links work fine. So ... no other obvious Amazon or Shopping extensions?

@leocg A malformed link will still be malformed in a different browser, it's like clicking a link to an error message.

TY. I think I found the issue. I disabled all my extensions. the one that seems the culprit is Auto Refresh Page.
very useful for certain sites I want to refresh every few minutes but apparently doesn't play well with Amz.
should I report that to anybody?

@jimjinnj You could try to report it to the developer, though honestly why an auto-refresh extension should be tracking your Amazon clicks is suspicious.
