   Start you Opera
   Menu: Tools->Preferences->Advanced->Programs: “Check if Opera is default browser on startup”

   Copy and paste this link into a new tab’s address bar:

   opera:config#UserPrefs|ShowDefaultBrow…

   This will you take you to the advanced configuration part of Opera. Once there, put a check in the box and then click save. Restart Opera and it will tell you that it is not set as the default, and it will ask you if you’d like to fix that. Say yes you want Opera to be your default browser, then you are done.

   Enjoy!.
