<![CDATA[Google opened by URL instead of website]]>When I type in the following URL (http://www.fencing.net/forums/forum.php)a Google search page opens rather than the requested page, as used to happen.

Opens OK in IE11 and as far as I know this is the only site that is 'affected'.

Opera 12, Win 7 Ult.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Go to Settings > Preferences (or just Alt-P) and click on Advanced > Content, Manage Site Preferences... Click on Add, enter www.fencing.net, then on the Network tab change Identify as Opera to Identify as Firefox. It'll work fine after that.

Disabling auto-redirect allows one to see the specific redirection. It could be some browser-sniffing going on up at the fencing.net server. The fencing.net site works OK in Firefox and Qupzilla, as well as IE.

(That is, you may have typed it wrong once, and it is suggesting the mis-typed address when you type now.)
