How can I prevent the "post data" message when using the back button ?

There's an easy way to prevent this in FireFox with an option in about:config.
I don't know about K-Melon. I just uninstalled K-Melon after playing around with it for awhile. If K-Melon developers don't want to provide an easy solution then find a better browser. If I want to disable a security feature, that's my responsibilty. A browser should provide an option to disable this anoying message.

Most of the time when this occurs there is no security issue, it's just an anoyance.

Do Yourself A Favor And Find A Better Browser.

I tried adding these values (as integers) which have had no effect:

browser.sessionstore.postdata = -1
browser.sessionstore.privacy_level = 1

Hopefully Dorian is able to get them to work properly.

Hei Sweety, it is the same about:config pref option as in Firefox and just as easy. I know enough K-Meleon. I use it as default for more years than the Firefox browser project exists and was not just playing around. The K-Meleon developers do a GUI as replacement for the inresponsive XUL GUI of the main branch Mozillas. They do not pretend to cater for anything else.

Do Yourself a favor and find a better answer - like posting the about:config pref of Firefox - or stop posting here until You know more and do not just have to play the Mozilla browser guru around here.

AFAIK. Post data are send by foward and reload button.
IMHO not from back button.

I might be wrong / I am not 100 % certain. See my p.s.

The pref options You tried do not exist in FF. Neither in KM.

Wrong: But they exist as defaults (only). They do not exist in any prefs.js.

Anyway. Both posters gave their mail address instead of logging in or posting without that. "Sweety" has manipulated his post data / IP = localhost.

IMHO both trolling.

To verify?

You could send them a mail with SeaMonkey with sending mail status notification on. Than You judge by the response of their mail servers whether they are so innocent and naive as they pretend. ¬_¬

p.s. That about post data is what I also found with Live HTTP Headers Extension for K-Meleon 1.5.4 & with that version.

But maybe I got the wrong readings or the extension does not work anymore?

Maybe try with one of the many header sniffers for FF whether one works with 74.

If yes?

You can find out for 74 yourself.

AFAIK there is no option to disable this in FF.
Those prefs are about sessions and have nothing to do with the document expired message.

Dorian, IMHO the two strangers were trolls anyway. Their posts make no real sence to me. One either edited his HTTP header's IP data... Else he is posting from the Forum's server...

Greetings

p.s. Zero.

I already mentioned that the other interpretation makes no sence with back button.

More verbose version of above.

Not reachable by default via about:config of Firefox.

Falls back to a useful default. Looked it up now.

Mozillazine
0 Do not store POST data in saved sessions (default)

Pref can be created and then changed. Is for session recovery.

Values and purpose: session restore.

Positive integer or -1 means store POST data. Which will be send again.

Therefore the other mentioned pref must be also created before use and must be set to prevent re-sending POST data like buy orders or mail from secure sites.
To prevent the keeping/resending of POST data on secure sites the value =

Mozillazine
1 Store extra session data for unencrypted (non-HTTPS) sites only

is used for pref browser.sessionstore.privacy_level.

Hope my English is understandable enough.

How about having it not resend the Post Data when pressing the backspace key?

What or who makes You believe Post Data are sent when You do backspace?

Maybe install http://livehttpheaders.mozdev.org/ and check Yourself
what if anything is sent when you do backspace!


p.s. You'd call it with chrome://livehttpheaders/content/LiveHTTPHeaders.xul

Else use this macro created for K-Meleon AFAIR 1.x. Tools were in help then.

# K-Meleon Macros (http://kmeleon.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php?id=MacroLanguage)

# ---------- LiveHTTPHeaders (Live HTTP Headers) -------------------------------------------------------------------
#
# Dependencies	: main.kmm (OpenURL) 
# Resources	: -
# Preferences	: -
#
# ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

livehttpheaders{
$OpenURL="chrome://livehttpheaders/content/LiveHTTPHeaders.xul"; &OpenURL_InNewWindow;
}

# ----- PRIVATE

_livehttpheaders_BuildMenu{
# edit menu
setmenu(KMAbout,macro,"Live HTTP Headers",livehttpheaders);
}
$OnInit=$OnInit."_livehttpheaders_BuildMenu;";

# ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
$macroModules=$macroModules."livehttpheaders;";

BTW. I already wrote that backspace did not sent a darn thing on my PC.

I installed a new version of livehttpheaders and have the same readings.

I mean, have it not ask about sending the Post Data thereby requiring the user to input whatever was sent if needed.

Sorry I do not completely understand You.

The guy that started this thread is IMHO a troll. He wants us to post...
It does automatically sents the post data on forward... but not for back. OK?
Wasn't that his question?

p.s. You can try all out and see Yourself if You install a html messages monitoring addon.

I just want to get rid of the dialog box that pops up when backing into a page that was used to submit data.

Thank You for Your precise explanation. I think I know now what You want.

Sorry. I have not read of such an option and did never search for it in more than eleven years in this forum.

I think I need the warning on some pages like my Bank.
But I will look for in future in case I stumble upon a toggle/switch.

If there is a possibilty it could be with the two settings mentioned above. But it looks to me like they are for crash recovery only.

I think I figured out how to remove it. To do so, do the following:

1. Extract the contents of K-Meleon's omni.ja to a directory.
2. Go to its chrome\en-US\locale\en-US\global directory.
3. Open appstrings.properties in Wordpad.
4. Delete the confirmRepostPrompt and resendButton.label strings that are in it and save it.
5. Compress the contents of the directory as a ZIP and rename to omni.ja.
6. Replace the one in K-Meleon's directory with the one you just compressed.
