Opera 8.65, Google search, google links?

[slinky22]

Here's the scenario: Using Opera 8.65, I open up my igoogle page, conduct a search, get the search results page, and click on a link. Instead of getting the actual webpage listed in the result, I end up on a page that starts with the http://www.google.com . . . and ends with the .html of the page I really want. As if google was acting as a proxy. Which, by the way, I don't want. Did I mess something up in "settings" in Opera 8.65? Anybody else have this problem?

BTW, I have the updated Sprint stock ROM.
