I browse to the html file, select it and k-m loads

But nothng appears when I click on the bookmarks icon except for a narrow white bar extending down below the button

But the correct location shows in bookmarks plugin options & plugin is enabled.

If I restart K-m the same process repeats itself.

Any ideas? - this happened after I copied k-m to another (identical) laptop.

The html file is fine I can drag it into k-m and it shows all bookmarks.

Everything else is fine too.]]>

I use KM in a controlled environment (webshop backend).
Everything works fine, but when it's about to surf external websites, it comes to the problem, that some modern websites using javascript are not displayed properly.

The delayed KM engine updates are not the issue here.

But is it possible, that an external link (of which I have control over the html href link code) clicked in KM opens in Firefox?

This would solve the problem.


Thank you

my experience is that K-Meleon does not keep pace with websites using complex and modern javascript techniques.

There are several sites that do not display properly anymore in K-Meleon, and I have to switch to Firefox.
(for example my online banking and DHL parcel tracking)
The problem seems connected with asynchronous loading of content with javascript.

I today tried with the newest build on Goanna, the problem is the same. (on Windows 7 and XP)

I have no overview on other inofficial KM versions, is there one that can display modern websites better?



Thank you and best regards

Is this the result of differing architectures and OS, have things changed since Goanna (using latest build from thread), are there certain aspects I need to configure, or has this always been the case?

Also, my testing prompted two questions:
  • I noticed while testing when loading the same videos on both that FF loads relatively little into memory initially and gradually adds more as the video goes on. KM instead loads a higher amount of memory upon a page's loading however stays around that value (both below and above it) throughout the duration of the video, only increasing slightly by a small amount temporarily while seeking. This might result in lower ram usage at most lengths while higher at others, though it did cause issues with a large video that I tested after noting this behaviour (3 hours+ 720) peaking at 10x more cpu usage(800mhz!). What is KM doing here to get it's initial ram value upon page load and how does this differ with FF?
  • I notice that when flushing memory in about:memory, that KM hardly disposes of any. Does this imply that KM is in a state (i.e same basic capabilities) more similar to FF before flushing it's RAM or after such?

I've downloaded all of the KM-Goanna updates.

I login to my Disroot account frequently. All of a sudden, my browser was redirected
to this outdated browser page.

https://mail.disroot.org/?/BadBrowser

I posted a message at the Disroot Forum. No replies.

I thought, maybe they don't like the KM-Goanna user agent, so I installed the User
Agent Changer extension. I tried the latest Firefox user agent strings. Didn't work.
KM-Goanna was again redirected to the "bad browser" page.

Differences between PortableApps.Com and regular structure:
You'll see certain folders or directories within K-Meleon mentioned frequently. In the PortableApps setup, the "K-Meleon" or root folder is located at:
PortableApps/K-MeleonPortable/App/K-Meleon/
And the profile folder is located at:
PortableApps/K-MeleonPortable/Data/profile/

The rest of the file structure is the same except the automatic updater will completely rewrite the some folders to ensure a clean update to the browser. So don't make modifications in the following folders or they will either break, revert, or corrupt after updates:
  • Browser/
  • Browser/extensions
  • Browser/defaults/settings


A note about KMEXT:
The K-Meleon Extension manager is not necessary to install K-Meleon extension packages (.7z). John mentions this in the thread linked above. You can find more information under Manual Installation in the documentation: http://kmeleonbrowser.org/wiki/Extensions#manual

I'm going to explicitly reccomend that you do it this way for PortableApps.com because of the way it handles updates. The auto-update will rewrite the "Browser" folder each time. So if an extension package contains any .xpi files in Browser/Extensions, copy those instead to your profile so that updates will not disable them. For example, in Rodocop's AdBlock Plus package there is one .xpi file for ABP so you would first move that to PortableApps/K-MeleonPortable/Data/profile/extensions and then you would copy the remaining files to PortableApps/K-MeleonPortable/App/K-Meleon/ and ABP would then continue to function correctly after updates. If you don't see a Browser/ folder in the package, you won't have to worry about that, and can install the package normally.

Also note that KMEXT is a great resource for older extensions but that it has not been updated since KM75 some years back. So the packages that say they're compatible with version 7x just mean up to 75, not up to the current version 76. There are also some extensions which rely on external services which may have changed since the last upload to the archive.

And finally about Firefox-style extensions and macros:
K-Meleon macro modules (.kmm) are single files that you can just drag and drop into your K-Meleon/macros folder or profile/macros/ folder. They will work the same.

The XUL-based extensions including legacy Firefox extensions, use a Mozilla extension manager that is built into the browser. You can manage them from the "about:addons" page. For example, if you check out Reality Ripple Software's About Add-ons (Legacy) you can just click the .xpi link or install it locally after downloading. K-Meleon will be default install XUL-based extensions to your profile and they will also work the same.]]>

I'm using KM75.1 with Windows XP SP2 and have been having trouble getting full functionality of some web sites on it versus Firefox 52 on the same PC. As a test I saved the page I was having problems with, while on FF, and opened it with KM. The offline version displayed closer to the FF display than the online version and I was wondering why that would be the case? I was hoping the offline version would have more function, but it did not.

From the reading I've done in this forum, I am somewhat familiar with display issues in KM regarding newer web sites not rendering in it. So, I was wondering is it possible to look at the source HTML of a web site to try and determine what version of the GECKO engine it requires?

I changed the user agent to be the same as my FF 52, but it made no difference. Any insights would be most welcome.]]>
