How do you make flashhblock work again after updating to this newer version of K-Meleon? What happened to flashblock being included in the download? It always had been since version .09, or something like that.

Thank you

Just found that you can uninstall 1.5.2 and keep files, then install 1.5.3 in same folder, as explained below from this link, http://kmeleonbrowser.org/forum/read.php?1,92083, and flasblock still works. Now Adblockplus is gone though!! Hopefully simply looking that up will do the trick. About to find out. Will edit post in a minute.

Edit:
Reininstalling Adblockplus from here, http://adblockplus.org/en/kmeleon, did the trick. I hope that's the latest version for K-Meleon anyway?

Quote from that thread:
"Can you install this one over 1.5.2 and keep all of your settings? I seem to recall that's all I did when I installed 1.5.2 over 1.5.1, but I'm not positive about it.

Uninstall 1.5.2 but does not remove the settings and install the 1.5.3 in the same folder."

All is fine in K-Meleon land again!!

This isn't a bug, in all K-Meleon versions, excepted 1.5.2 with Flashblock fixed, Flashblock is included in embed.jar file. In 1.5.2 version Dorian fixed a Flashblock problem with an external flashblock.jar file but I made a similar fixed to this problem in an corrected embed.jar file. Now, everything returns to normal in 1.5.3.

Okay. I installed 1.5.3 over 1.5.2 and now flashblock works, but only sometimes. How can I fix this?

Does flashblock fail on the same page each time or random? Can you post here the URLs of pages that fail.

I'll work up a list. So far, pages from espn.com and youtube - does not work.
dailykos.com - works as is supposed to.

Uninstalled KM and did a clean reinstall. Everything seems fine now.

> Uninstalled KM and did a clean reinstall. Everything seems fine now.

I remember this being a problem with the last version of K-Meleon, I would have assumed it had been fixed in this one. I'd rather avoid reinstalling the latest version as when I installed it I lost all my personal settings and it took ages to get them back -- don't want to go through that again. Isn't there anything else I can do to get Flashblock to work?
