you should install opera via the repository version:
you can find information on it here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OperaBrowser#head-b3bda5c531086c6c9fc105bb80e19d51b600c70c

I do this to add opera repository open a terminal:
sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
add Opera repository line:

# Repository for Opera
# Upstream Opera
# GPG key: 6A423791
deb http://deb.opera.com/opera etch non-free

Then go to root and add gpg repository key:
sudo -i
gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --recv-key 6A423791
gpg --fingerprint 6A423791
gpg --armor --export 6A423791| apt-key add -
exit

Now update
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install opera
