With K-meleon 1.12 I was able to have all my browsing history and passwords, etc deleted when I closed the program (not rebooted the computer). The 1.5 updated version (with the bug fixes) doesn't do this. Is this option available somewhere in the preferences, tools, etc? The "privacy" settings in the "tools" work for that on a reboot, but not simply when I close the program.. I do not have "history" enabled. Thanks.

Dear tlcmd,

type in urlbar: about:config, enter (you see a list of filters), go somewhere in the list (it doesn't matter where), and add a new filter while right clicking with the mouse, choose integer, name filter: kmeleon.plugins.privacy.clearHistory, value: 2 - that should solve your problem.

To acces any Perferences features not working at the momemnt You can use an older, 1.1 exe that You copy into the 1.5 directory. Remember to rename it e.g. to k-meleon1.1exe before You copy it there so that it does not overwrite the 1.5.

To get your private data cleared when km 1.5 is shut down, open Tools > Privacy > Clear Data > Clear Automatically... and check the desired items.

Note (in case you're using the K-Meleon Loader): The browser isn't shut down as long as the loader is running!

I run my own portable "privacy" version of K-Meleon. I keep a user.js that I copy to my profile which contains the following:

Quote

//don't store cache on the hard drive:
user_pref("browser.cache.disk.enable", false);

//number of days to remember visited pages in history:
user_pref("browser.history_expire_days", 0);

//save nothing in the URL bar:
user_pref("kmeleon.MRU.behavior", 3);

//do not cache favicons:
user_pref("kmeleon.favicons.cached", false);

//do not load the history plugin:
user_pref("kmeleon.plugins.history.load", false);

//do not load the session plugin:
user_pref("kmeleon.plugins.sessions.load", false);

//cookie expires at the end of the session (when the browser closes):
user_pref("network.cookie.lifetimePolicy", 2);

//do not remember passwords:
user_pref("signon.rememberSignons", false);

Thanks,
I fixed it. Appreciate the assistance and advice. Hope the next version includes that option.

KKO is spot-on; works well from my experience
