1 instance of K-Meleon only?

Hello, little lost here, i'm very happy with K-Meleon but only issue here is when I execute my batch or ahk scripts, like


start http://www.google.com

or

run, https://en.wikipedia.org


It uses K-Meleon as I've got it checked as my default browser but opening sites, instead of a new tab I was expecting, it creates I new instance, then another new instance, etc. So eventually I got dozens of K-Meleons running at once.

It there someway I can force K-Meleon to allow only 1 instance of the browser running at a time, and so it could open my sites launched externally in a new tab?

Hi, you can check the options in F2 / (Browsing) / Window Diversion.
Especially in the flipdown menu for "URLs passed from external applications"

@Dorian
Please consider making tabs the default option instead of windows, for this and other prefs.

Why uninstall a working browser?


There is a kmm (K-Meleon macro) that lets You open an URL with FF.

p.s. kmm are be in the Docu or resources of the wiki.
Or at http://kmext.sourceforge.net/

I actually only got K-Meleon installed on my slowest machines, but now i'm just attempted to put them on every machine, since I was impressed how it instantly displayed me 10 pages from a batch script in a split second, unlike firefox which takes 15 seconds or more to render them between freezes, etc (And i thought I just had a slow connection), but yeah I suppose that both can work together with a macro.
