Have you tried re-installing opera? If that doesn't work, I would just re-flash your zaurus. But if you just want another browser you can get konqurer from here:

When installing, it will say that the install failed, but it still should work. It might only do that with my Z.

If a reboot doesn't fix it, remove the settings file if there's one, reinstallation should be an almost last resort, re-flashing an absolute last resort.

You'll find the settings in the directory:

$HOME/.opera

and

$HOME/.operasave

This is on a C860, but you didn't state your machine or ROM, it should the same on all though.
