How did you install the Opera browser? Using wget or by downloading the .deb package from http://www.opera.com/computer/linux ? There was a bug in Ubuntu 16.04 Software Center that was not allowing .deb packages to be installed so the workaround was opening a terminal, entering sudo dpkg -i and dragging the downloaded .deb file onto the terminal to install Opera. Source: Problem with deb packages on Ubuntu 16.04.
In dash, try searching for 'browser' and see if Opera and other browsers are listed. If not, open a terminal by pressing Ctrl+Alt+T and enter sudo apt-get update followed by sudo apt-get upgrade. Then try to install Opera again. You may have to remove Opera first if it did indeed install with sudo apt-get remove opera-stable.
