usually a web browser passes on the URL to the OS for it to resolve (so that one can install more protocol handlers etc. [like the "quicktime" one] and have all apps benefit from that action). So Opera might also have a problem with this, since its seems to be a "bug" in the handler of the "quicktime" protocolo (URLs starting with quicktime:)
