My opera browser works, but when i open it, the screen says "illegal url." Has anyone else had this problem

Which version are you using? Can you get any site to open? If so, maybe just your "home" or default url is invalid.

Are you clicking a hotlink to open it up? If not, why not just open it that way and let it go. I wouldn't imagine the upgrade to 6.5 would cause that but who knows.
