Sick behaviour of photo/picture viewer

Opera (ver 12.16 Build 1860) worked normally - for example: searched in google the word "drum" > clicked on the link "photos" and there were big photos side by side > clicked one of them, browser showed bigger photo with "next" and "previous" option. Normal.
Then on a nice day (Opera made a kind of upgrade?) by clicking on the link "photos" it started to show kind of thumbnails and clicking one of them directs to photo's homepage.
Is there a way to turn this behaviour back to normal?Thanks,

Google blocks the real Opera browser (v. 12.x and earlier versions) and provides Opera with a simplified versions of its web-pages (including search engine) with a lot of missing functionality.
It can be fixed with selective masking of Opera for google's pages.
-
Find your Opera's profile folder (type opera:about as an url in the Opera's address field and look for the path in "Opera directory"). Remember it.
-
Close Opera
-
Go to your Opera's profile catalog("Opera directory" path from the opera:about) using file manager
-
Open override.ini with a text editor
-
Add at the end of [Overrides] section these strings:
plus.googleapis.com
plus.google.com
apis.google.com
google.com
google.XX
(NOTE: where XX is a national domain of your country. For an example, ".fi" - Finland etc. DO NOT INSERT this note into ini file!)
- Then add at the end of the override.ini file:
[plus.googleapis.com]
User Prefs|Custom User-Agent=Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_10; rv:33.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/33.0 Opera 12.16
[plus.google.com]
User Prefs|Custom User-Agent=Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_10; rv:33.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/33.0 Opera 12.16
[apis.google.com]
User Prefs|Custom User-Agent=Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_10; rv:33.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/33.0 Opera 12.16
[google.XX]
User Prefs|Custom User-Agent=Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_10; rv:33.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/33.0 Opera 12.16
(NOTE: where XX is a national domain of your country. For an example, ".fi" - Finland etc. DO NOT paste this note into ini file!)
-
Save changes and launch Opera
-
Now you can use a fully functional Google search engine
p.s. There is another solution with a global masking via opera:config parameter(custom user-agent). Do not use it! It can cause more problems than fixes!

I accidentally skipped one line but can't edit the original post.
Also you should add at the end of the override.ini file these strings:
[google.com]
User Prefs|Custom User-Agent=Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_10; rv:33.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/33.0 Opera 12.16
