Turns out I wrote too soon. The permissions.default.image=0 coincided with Google Maps starting to work after making that change. However once I closed KM and then restarted it Maps again failed to display. Apparently this was correlation, not causation.

I then renamed my prefs.js file so KM (1.1.3) was forced to create a new one. Google Maps then worked fine, so the problem was in my old prefs.js file. I have been using KM since 0.9 and had accumulated various settings in prefs.js over the years that I carried over from upgrade to upgrade. Starting from the fresh prefs.js file I then used the KM interface (i.e. not editing prefs.js directly) to set the preferences the way I used to have them for the interface. Then I manually copied my groups defs (some of which are quite large and complex) into prefs.js. This also solved the problem of the about:config changes not being saved and everything now works well.

I can use http://maps.google.de/ with the default settings of K-Meleon 1.1.3de-DE.

If needed PPL should fall back to spoof Firefox and SeaMonkey.

Maybe You can give me a map URL that failed for some time.

No problem, too, with 1.1.3

Guenter,

So, KM 1.1.3 is enough different from KM 1.0.2 (with patches) to make the changes I posted in the macro not needed?

<wry grin>

I do not know about 1.1.3en-US but 1.1.3 fr-FR and de-DE are reported to work

German 1.02 with default settings also loads http://maps.google.de/

But I have no idea why You needed to create and apply a macro.

p.s. Nick - You best learn the languages of the grand parents (fr or de) else You are stuck with the en browser locale and that has no native speaker dev

BTW. AFAIRemember Google Maps already worked with the late 0.9s - Walt found that it was caused by missing dll when a 0.9 did not load the maps properly - later Brielle and I independently found which.

@desgas2, You are a spoilsport - why did You tell Nick that en-US works too

p.s. Likely the problems are from old configuration files - but no one seems to know.

Guenter,

The way I see it, the world is still stuck with the English language for another 100 years or so, but be careful what you wish for, because when our time is up, you will have to learn Mandarin instead!

Guenter,

Old config files, perhaps, but then I'm still running KM 1.0.2 (with patches) and so changes in the macro itself made the difference between Google Maps working or failing.

As for Desag2, why you made the classic mistake. You choose only GE for FR, when Spanish has been around even longer in the Roman sense of the world that is!
