Hi James (from another "James")!
"if he [browser] started" is what Guenter meant.
I was surprised to read there that you don't use a firewall in this day and age of hackers? Of course I have a different setup from you more than likely as I run my own internet network, but I have to run a firewall and a triple-protected server programme (which programme I don't reveal for security reasons) as I have a hack attempt done on me at least once a minute.
So I like to try and see everyone run with at least some sort of firewall protection, see?
And good luck on getting K-Meleon running my friend! Sorry I couldn't offer any help but you're in the best of hands with my buddy Guenter here!
Amicalement,
