It is my understanding that I should be able to open a vector file that I recently downloaded using the Opera browser. However, I am unable to understand exactly how to do that. Would someone please help me with step by step instructions?

If the svg file-type is "registered" into Windows, it should open within the default program thereby associated with the file type (assuming the file's code is fully compatible with that viewer), by double-clicking on the file name. A variety of programs can establish themselves as default for the svg file type upon installation or by manual setting in the OS:
- Most popular browsers (Opera, Firefox, Maxthon, Safari, IE above 8, Edge, etc)
- Gimp
- Paint Shop Pro
- Pdf Creator
- Visual Studio
- Adobe Flash
- MS Visio 2016
- Corel Draw
- Serif DrawPlus
- Sdraw (part of LibreOffice)
If no program is associated with the svg file-type in Windows, you should get a pop-up asking what program to use in opening it. If that pop-up doesn't occur when double-clicking an svg file that refuses to open, then there may be a default program associated with the file type which is having compatibility problems opening that particular svg file's XML coding.
There are also some online converter programs that will convert a small svg file-type to some other type: png, pdf, jpg, gif, etc.

Drag & drop it into a browser window.
BY THE WAY:
A standard programmto open and edit svg-files is inkscape.
