@burnout426 OK. Did all of that. No joy. All of my browsers are "independent". I never share/import settings nor sync with anything. And the next time I use VPN will be like the next time use facebook - a virgin trip. I even went so far as to download and fire-up an iteration of Google Chrome - since Chrome is alleged to be the basis for Opera. Everything on Chrome is nominal. And everything I have visited w/Chrome looks fine. Just amazon.com on Opera is causing me grief. I may just have to wait for the next upgrade to Opera and see what's what.
