The dropdown boxes on startpage.com settings page behave wonky. They open up, but the cursor position doesn't seem to be correct (or even inside the selection area). The long dropdowns (language) "works", but I have to click 5 spots lower setting on the list to get the one I wanted. Short dropdowns simply don't work like this, because less than five possibilities in them.

Some engine limitation or something broken with my installation? I remember coming across similar problems on dropdown boxes before on K-Meleon too, but don't remember the sites anymore.

Hello world.

www.winworldpc.com causes the latest build to quickly slow down and cease functioning (though this isn't a problem exclusive to this one, only I couldn't report it earlier because it's become virtually impossible to get an email address for forum registrations that doesn't force you to hand out both your real identity and location to a bunch of creeps) so that I must forcibly terminate the app manually. Disabling javascript prevents the lockup at the expensse of core functionality.

Thanks for your time and for this most excellent browser

A couple of issues, roytam1:

First, the damn black rendering issue described in the latest posts of the Image retrieving macro:
http://kmeleonbrowser.org/forum/read.php?9,123209,150919,page=3#msg-150919

Even if it has been carried since 76.0 Gecko and you only do, mostly, engine updates, give a look.

The issue, basically, is that new windows opened don't render its content and display the known black or empty window and modifications upon that window content, or even interaction, is impossible, or not visible changes.


Second, this is bad behaviour of 76 Goanna.

If you only make, mostly, engine updates, I don't know if it is an issue with the engine, or you introduced it deliberately, but when typing a non-ssl site, 76 Goanna automatically converts it to https.

While I was testing the extension told above, I run a tiny web server with a harcoded www.bing.com domain in hosts file so points to localhost, where the server was running.

Whenever an input http://www.bing.com was made was converted automatically to https://www.bing.com. Up on error, probably, but shouldn't do that automatically without user permission.

Unless you introduced a hardcoded STS permission, this is NOT the expected behaviour, not of a browser, of any program. Unexpected behaviour is not a good recommendation, always.

On fail the browser must display just an error, not automatically redirect. Or trying to redirect to https

I tried to dig for a preference or switchable option to disable it and I wasn't able to find it.

As this behaviour didn't happen with 76.x Gecko versions. So, or is the Goanna engine, or you introduced it. Please, make it switchable. Even though it is not my day to day usage browser I don't think should be left like this.

I don't like programs that do what they aren't commanded to do. If I want an http page, that means I want an http page, not https.

I tried to dig for a preference or switchable option to disable it and I wasn't able to find it.

I knew there were prefs for HSTS, but also had major trouble now finding it again:
pref("network.stricttransportsecurity.enabled", false);
pref("network.stricttransportsecurity.preloadlist", false);

Now added this to my default prefs file, to find it easier next time in aboutconfig:
pref("network.stricttransportsecurity__INFO", "INFO: prefs for HSTS / Force httpS / cookies in SiteSecurityServiceState.txt instead of sqlite");

I don't think it is that, at least the preloadlist, because it is enabled by default in K-meleon 75 and doesn't redirect on error trying to find the httpS version of the URL...

One thing is enable HSTS, that accepts HSTS request from a website; the other based on saved sites, switch to TLS; and what was happening with Goanna, that, on error, with a PC without network, without even able to connect to anywhere and not knowing what even a DNS is, nor can access one, switch to TLS by its own, and if Goanna carries a default hardcoded HSTS list of permissions, is not a good idea.

Just saying.

And to be clear, permissions.sqlite in Goanna version doesn't have any hardcoded sts permission. So, it shouldn't be doing that.

@roytam1
Please don't forget to include the fixed SPANISH langpack, posted already weeks ago by JG.
Please don't forget to include the semi-fixed RUSSIAN langpack, posted already weeks ago by rodocop

ES: http://kmeleonbrowser.org/forum/read.php?20,144672 (attached in 1st post)
RU: http://kmeleonbrowser.org/forum/read.php?20,144981,150059#msg-150059 (attachment #1)

---

And if possible, please include also the finished fix for the BROKEN FRAMES setting in F2>KMPREFS:
browser.frames.enabled (BOOL) => permissions.default.subdocument (1/2/3)
As bonus have also added the media permission.

This update does NOT break any langpacks. New strings are either recycled from already existing strings, or (while not yet translated) hardcoded in EN. The wording is very much debatable, but as usual no one cares, so IMO better this draft as a broken, very important setting.

This is the updated file:
http://kmeleonbrowser.org/forum/file.php?19,file=1881,filename=pref-display_KG74_76_MOD_framesMedia.xul
to be replaced here:
KM/browser/(omni.ja)\chrome\kmeleon\content\kmprefs\pref-display.xul

No other files needed.
My changes and ToDo-notes (add Exception Editor, same one as exists for images) are marked inside with #####, and the old code is still kept inside comments. So this draft version looks inside slightly quirky and before publishing could be improved, but if no time, IMO still better this as nothing.

Forum topic for this fix:
http://kmeleonbrowser.org/forum/read.php?19,149918,150125#msg-150125



in work:
fix the same pref for menu Privacy > Block Frames
In macro main.kmm, old name "pref_ToggleFrames", the new INT-toggle can be copied from "pref_ToggleImages"
(Am just not sure if this submacro should be replaced with the same name or with "subdocuments", and it's also used in "ExecMacros_Frames", no idea if that still makes sense)
To speed things up, have just added a new submacro "pref_ToggleSubdocuments" in main.kmm and use this one for the menu. Ignoring for now the original old frames toggle, still internal use in "ExecMacros_Frames", but sense or not, this minor issue can be handled later.
Will post it after a quick function check in current KM.

macro:
Fix for broken Frames toggle in menu Tools > Privacy > Block Frames:
exchange /macros/main.kmm with the updated, attached file

Changes:
added a new submacro "pref_ToggleSubdocuments"
Added this in the Privacy Menu, and removed the old "pref_ToggleFrames"

VERIFIED in latest KMG76:

• exchanged in locales ES + RU all files with a newer date (links above) => WORKS
  This FIXES the completely broken "about:support" and "about:serviceworkers" pages (other languages still broken)
• exchanged in browser/omni.ja the modified "pref-display.xul" above => WORKS
• exchanged main.kmm with the new version above => WORKS

@roytam1 thanks!

@siria thank you!

@roytam1 and @siria, thanks!

4 GUI-bugs fixed - really glad! Thank you!
Also thanks to ES+RU translators JG and rodocop!

I guess some probably won't like the makeshift-workaround for the frames toggle, but at least that important setting works again.
Hope some day it can be finished by copying the image-exceptions-editor for the other sibling permissions too.
And hopefully some day all translations will be finished again.

Thank you all, folks! Great job!

@Roytam1 thanks so much for this awaited version!
