Can you be a bit more specific, when and how is this happening?

Well, it happens after several startups and closures, let's say after about 100 times. It's very strange: all configuration and apperarance settings, all groups, ... are restored to dafault.

It's a real pity, as I appreciate very much K-M lightness...

Thanx for your attention.

The problem is STILL here, even with the last release (1.1), even on different PCs.

I have the same problem. Tried last 3 versions, saved configs, but they disappear after restarting K-M. One strange thing is that this started 6/20 when K-M opened within IE7. Not the browser, just the welcome page to K-M 1.02. I have tried all 3 versions but after doing all of my configs, bookmarks, etc and then restarting, I get a stripped down browser without any upper toolbar, no file, edit, view, etc. It is essentially unuseable. Help!!!!!!!!!

Sounds like a profile problem.

1) Open your profile directory (Edit > Configuration > Profile Directory). Under NT/2k/XP, make sure you've the necessary privileges to write to this directory. This may not be the case when you've set km to store its profiles in the km root folder.

2) The profile directory should contain 2 *.js files only. Namely prefs.js and user.js. Make sure that prefs.js is not read-only.

The same thing just happened to me this morning. I started up my PC and 2 things happened: K-Meleon reverted back to the way in started, losing also all bookmarks and any bookmark capabilities. I just deleted everything and re-downloaded it and it seems fine now. But this is a bizarre bug, things just "dissapear"

K-Meleon has a backup extension on the extensions page.

By default 1.1 creates a bookmarks_backup.html that can be renamed and used.
Other files such as password do not get damaged - I do not know why.

p.s. I am not sure whether & what happened to You is from GRE ( I heard complaints about firefox and TBird doing the same sometimes ) or from Windows system.

Here I had the same problem some time ago with K-Meleon and Tbird. Soon afterwords I had to set up a fresh Windows XP/pro.

That is one reason why we have the extension. It has not happened since the extension works and the new system is set up. smiling smiley

Well... it doesn't seem a solution as this means that if k-meleon is ***NOT*** the default browser, it doesn't work as it should, as the bug is still there...
