Is there any prospect of KM emergence on Goanna/4.x engine?
It may happen, just don't know when will it happen. Since either source of KM or Goanna need to be patched in order to build, but I have no free time for that right now.

I understand, of course, if possible. You and so done in fact a grandiose front of work.
With gratitude will wait for the new release (when you have time).

Noticed a problem (I wrote about it little
earlier), but this time this is not solved by
siria's recommendation.
...
Address example with this problem
https://sourceforge.net/projects/mpc-hc/
(but this effect is now found on many pages of SF).
Remarkable is that switching to offline mode (by
siria's advice) does not give any effect, like as and when fully closing of browser altogether. That is, when you fully
save page with all pictures (as Web Page, Complete), process of saving simply does not reach the creation of an HTML file next to folder of pictures, styles (and etc) from this page.
This tip great works entirely on Gecko (for example, KM 76 RC2), but has no effect on Goanna.
...
A couple of times this page can happen preserved (not clear how), but consistently repeat successfully this didn't work.

Seeing as there hasn't been a weekly since well, 2 months ago, I'd personally like to see this given a stable release with the usual KM installer etc. and announced on the homepage: it's incredibly stable right now for me on XP.
I don't think there's even a better browser for XP out there, or Vista, it's lightweight enough, flexible and I think if we have a stable, easy-to-install exe for the common newbie we'll see more new KM folk
Anyone else's thoughts?

You can always convert base archive to SFX and it will not be different from installer. If you use WinRar, it can easy create shortcuts for you (for example, on desktop and start menu, for 7z this is done with help of an extra-package from SF).
...
But honestly, I do not understand meaning of these actions. What can be bad (is a PORTABLE app)?! Any consequences are limited to application folder only. Moreover, it is very convenient for operation and safety in General.
Steady desire to get an installer is just a habit (imposed on everything that should be through
an installer). For operation and configuration of application, this no makes sense (just personal opinion).

There better be XPsp3 support cause I say so.
No nerd arguments about flaunting your bleeding edge systems and taking a dump on any one not using bleeding edge systems.
EOL is not a valid arg.
Nerds seek to destroy all that is a good in the world to put them selfs on a pedestal, ergo don't be a nerd like that you /guys/.
Lastly is it possible to add the patches used by LawtiFox and PCXfox for security & memory? Info on their patches:
https://pcxfirefox.wordpress.com/
I'm not sure why lawliet's versions of the same with some of his own tweaks is more stable:
Ers52 ver works on XP great it's my 2nd browser to kmelon
https://sourceforge.net/projects/lawlietfox/files/ESR/52.x/
"Include features below :
- BetterPGO list v0.80
- Optimize option fp:recise for gfx
- More module to PGO optimize
- Include part of tete009, pcxfirefox, cppinfo patches
- Support libportable the portable mode, multi-thread render support
- Anti Hook support, may enhance stability(about detail please see portable.ini)
- Enhance Security! Anti buffer overflow(Flash, JAVA etc..)"
I'm not a coder perse, but these patches make FF so much better.

Hi fellows,
If anyone who is watching my palemoon27 repo, there is a new commit resolving cloudflare's rocket loader issue. (sites like XDA use it)
So a new KM76G build is coming
Just I don't know if more changes I can do it or not before Saturday.

Just great

...
I correctly understand, that this advanced mod on Goanna 3.x engine, i.e. not 4.x yet?
Maybe can fix and this problem:
(that is, when you fully save page with all pictures (as Web Page, Complete), process of saving simply does not reach the creation of an HTML file next to folder of pictures, styles (and etc) from this page. Address example with this problem

since it is KM76G, it will still use Goanna 3.x.
for Goanna 4.1.x based KM is still planning.
and for saving bug, I had a look on it but I can't find where the bug occurs in the source code so I don't know how to fix it.

There is still a small bug, it is not critical, but sometimes interferes: when you right-click on link (with holding down [Ctrl] key), we open link in a new background tab, but here appears context menu (even if you release [Ctrl] key) is it possible to fix it? To be able to open many tabs in background by holding [Ctrl] and simply clicking on links (as works in 76RC2 / Gecko).
And even more cosmetic defect, if additional tab settings are active:
user_pref("browser.tabs.closeButtons", 1); // show [x] to close tab
user_pref("kmeleon.tabs.multiline", 2); // use more than one tab line (whether tabs in two rows)
When you open enough tabs (to make second row appear) on this additional row, [x] on tabs does not work. Tabs are closed by other methods.

Ummm. On my box I have WordWeb set to open on Ctrl+R-Click. All my browsers open a context menu for R-Click.
@hermes - Shouldn't that be Ctrl+
L-Click? That is the usual "New Tab" shortcut. IE opens the new tab in background, all Gecko forks open it in foreground.

Thanks for new build!
Regarding the context menu bug, I can't check it myself at the moment, but do mousegestures have this too? I noticed that prob some time ago, but can't remember which browser that was, not even sure if it was KM or FF2... At every right-click the context menu popped up, when using gestures hundreds of times in each sessions that's a huge prob. But again, no idea which browser that was, perhaps someone else can do a quick test.

The last time this was observed about three years ago:
http://kmeleonbrowser.org/forum/read.php?8,135856,136413#msg-136413
That is, can try to see difference of code between dates November 18, 2015 (K-Meleon 76
Beta) and next release (K-Meleon 76
Beta 2, November 21, 2015 or similar).

What's new since beta :
- Fixed save as page complete
Code must be here, apparently this is the same code (which was fixed)

same code is already in the XULRunner tree of KM-Goanna since I was patching Goanna for KM in the beginning, but the bug is still here. So I'm no clue why does it happen.

Thanks for trying : ). And thank you very much for new fixed build.
I will hope that problem will disappear when KM is ported on Goanna/4.x engine.

I actually had not seen that documentation
And I've had WordWeb forever, so Ctrl+R-Click was never considered as a browser accelerator: WW implements it as a system hook which will override any browser prefs. Not to mention I've never wanted to use mouse gestures anyway

I've found 2 problems:
1) when YouTube video is playing, K-Meleon doesn`t block PC from turning off display (and, I believe, from entering standby/hibernation mode), so I cannot watch the video more than 5 minutes - my Windows setting for turning off display.
2) if "Hide K-Meleon app Title Bar" option is set up and loading of last session is turned on (so that some site is opened, not about:blank page), K-Meleon window gets wrong position at startup, and I need to enter and leave fullscreen mode to fix it.

Since GitHub updated javascript making KM76 not working well, I'm thinking if I can make more progress on making Goanna-4.1.x and/or Gecko45TFF to be KM-compatible.
My main palemoon profile had just been updated to PM28.
EDIT:
spoofing to ESR 60 seems working at the moment:
general.useragent.override.github.com = Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:60.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/60.0 (Pale Moon)
