Live Local update
It turns out that the issue is that Microsoft has started blocking Opera from viewing the site, even though it used to be just fine in Opera.
Why do companies do this? Google is equally guilty, blocking access to Docs & Sheets. Yet Opera is the most standards-compliants browsers around, passing the Acid2 test, and also has the fastest Javascript engine.
In fact, Opera users can often gain access to "blocked" sites by changing the browser's ID from Opera to something else (say, Firefox). In this case though doing that still doesn't gain access to Live Local.
