Both opened fine here without any changes to the url.

If I right-click a link that ends in "-8.pdf" and select "Open link in private window" it does not change the url and the private window finds the file and opens it!

It usually means that an extension is the one to blame but since you say that you don't have any...

An extension, yup.

Is an extension different than an add-on?

My system says "No extensions installed".

Best way to check is to start private browsing mode (control-shift-n) and then trying to access the URL again. If it works then it's definitely something in your browser settings (most likely a plugin of some sorts).

I already did that and reported the results (It works).

I also think it is somewhere in my browser settings.

I just have no idea where to look.

I just have no idea where to look.

I would try a new profile folder. If the issue didn't happen then I would check after each change I had made in settings to see which one is the one to blame.

It's a fresh Opera install?

Did u made any change in Flags?

There is an option to use external PDF viewer, maybe it's checked snd the PDF reader it's not right configured.

Just an idea:

• Open a new tab
• Press Ctrl-Shift-I to open the developer toolbar
• Select the Network tab
• Paste the problematic url and press ENTER
• Check if an entry appears in the Network tab (in my case it doesn't but just downloads the file)
• If it doesn't, check in the Console tab to see if there's any message (just in case)

Of course, also try with a portable version to make sure there's nothing else affecting your browser. Are you using the latest one?
