It turns out that the session order isn't saved in its preferences when the tab order is changed by dragging them to a different spot.

Probably because you're closing kmeleon right after the move.

I need Your advice. I'd like to check with two extensions what they do in K-Meleon 74. Work or do nothing and raise JS errors?

Just add in the install.rdf:

<em:targetApplication>
	<Description>
		<em:id>kmeleon@</em:id>
		<em:minVersion>74.0</em:minVersion>
		<em:maxVersion>74.0</em:maxVersion>
	</Description>
</em:targetApplication>

and kmeleon will try to load it.

But I'll change the id since it has to be a guid.

How do I activate in K-Meleon74.0Beta4+1 (Your test version that can update extensions manifests) an extension that has a folder named "check-compatibility@dactyl.googlecode.com" and inside the file "bootstrap.js" (that carries the functioanllity).

The same for an extension that has a folder named {6BB5760D-F97E-421B-AF5B-8457A90C3CED} = Bluhell Firewall and inside a bootstrap.js (that carries the functioanllity). That app is a lightweight adblocker that works via a list with regular expressions. AFAI-Understand. Adblock plus lists are more resource hungry.

Both Apps have no chrome.manifest or anything similar.
Only install.rtf, licence, icon are inside the xpi.

unfortunately K-Meleon74.0Beta4+1 Still can't activate the extensions of the bootstrap type by itself.

However, you can add it manually :

1-Download a new copy of the extension.

2-open it by compressor prog & extract it's 'install.rdf'.

3-open the rdf by text editor then add km "target application" part to it :

<em:targetApplication>
<Description>
<!--K-Meleon-->
<em:id>kmeleon@</em:id>
<em:minVersion>74.0</em:minVersion>
<em:maxVersion>74.0</em:maxVersion>
</Description>
</em:targetApplication>

4-Search for the extension "ID" , and copy it ( "{6BB5760D-F97E-421B-AF5B-8457A90C3CED}" for Bluhell Firewall ) .

5-Save the file & add it to the original xpi file .

6-Rename the xpi file to the extension "ID" ( something Like {6BB5760D-F97E-421B-AF5B-8457A90C3CED}.xpi & this is very important).

7-create a new folder & rename it to "extensions" ,then add the xpi file to it .

8-put the folder in your Profile folder [K-Meleon\Profiles\your_Profile_folder] Or browser folder (less effect) .

9-Delete "startupCache" & run KM Then go to ( about:addons ).

10-Enable the extension in about:addons (it will create extensions.sqlite file) , then test the extension .


-Use this link to test "Bluhell Firewall" while it [ Enable\disable] and remember to disable ["AdBlock-Plus" & privacy\block Advertisement] .

- And if have problem in convert it , this is the "Bluhell Firewall" extension & here some photos.

I tried using that method to install some extensions. Here's what I installed and how they act:

1. Greasemonkey 1.1.6 Beta 6 - When trying to view its options via about:addons, an error is shown. Also, none of the installed scripts work along with the Install button not working when installing one.

2. LastPass 3.1.1 - Its options dialog box shows up without any text and the url of it in place of what its title bar should be named. Also, its Web UI doesn't show properly.

3. Vacuum Places Improved 1.2 - It might be working but I can't tell because there's no way to view its status.

4. webmFF 0.6 (WebM for NeoGAF) - It doesn't work on the site its meant for (the WEBM links aren't showing as embedded objects).

Sorry. I fear my stupid question has opened the Pundora's box.

AFAIK K-Meleon does not embed anything into any XUL windows inside the GUI.
That is Firefox tech.

The following example opens a XUL window in a (new) K-Meleon window/tab:

$OpenURL="chrome://kmprefs/content/pref-filetypes.xul"; &OpenURL_InNewWindow;


So for 1-3.) AFAIK You have to call the options from some name *.XUL via a kmm.
Take mtypes.kmm as example of a simple macro to do so and how to create a entry for it inside K-Meleon menue.

4.) Might be a plugin. Place it in the plugins folder, if it is.
If not there is little chance.


Not all extensions will work out off the box & some will never do.

I asked because of a special type.


The about:addons XUL page made available by naruman's work is a feature that is not finished. And it is AFAIK not clear whether it will ever be possible to call XUL Option windows via that panel. Because that AFAIK requires at least a limited use of Firefox GUI interfaces.



p.s. The two extensions I want to install do not have XUL Windows so they should work out of the box. If they had XUL Windows (Chrome) I would probably have known to handle my problem. I have adapted the first Firefox extension I wanted to use for a K-Meleon about ten years ago for the 0.82+ private issue by Dorian & others.

mtypes was one of the earliest XUL extensions from way back of K-Meleon 0.7 or so times. The knowledge how a firefox extension was used for K-Meleon was lost for some time after the first creator(s) of such extensions left this project.

Your question is just what Dorian saw coming and the reason why the SeaMonekey extension installer for K-Meleon 1.x was never officially released or better never included in an official release.

People will complain after they try and fail to install incompatible extensions. They cannot expect all or any features of any random SeaMonkey (now Firefox also - we override the Firefox installer mechanism) extension to work.

But they will expect this because an installer exists.

It's not a big deal to press tab key to jump to the search box in history, but I tried to implement by window.document.getElementById('search-box').focus();" function in the onload section of history.xul to be focused and start searching after the history has been opened but it fails because, unless you move the mouse, the history isn't fully loaded and the search box doesn't get focus.

Without the call of that function, the history loads instantly without interaction.

JamesD, Dorian, or any other masters of XUL , could be implemented in next release?, how do I do by myself if not? is this part of the whole focus problem?

Another update
http://kmeleon.sf.net/files/km74b4u4.7z

- Fixed session and tab order (again)
- Possible fix for grayed selection (out of focus)

Sometimes kmeleon seems to crash at startup, someone did notice that?

@zero3k
if kmeleon.tabs.useLoadingIcon is false and title does not change, tooltip will not disapear

@JohnHell
I tried printing with js and it used the same prefs.
Updated history focus

Great work Dorian. Update 4 fixed the history focus. Can that somehow be applied to the Error Console?

Is this just a missed letter in a function name?

Sorry that my exitement of a fear that came true made me miss to imidiately thynk You for You help.

@ Dorian, thank You for the update.

p.s. Lazy me.

I use a Firefox Nightly with "extensions.alwaysUnpack" = true to get extensions downloaded and unpacked for inspection and for K-Meleon use.

Updated history focus

Looks that the print worked here too now :-? didn't take the printer settings but the set settings :-?

About the histoy focus, does the same of my try, you have to move the mouse but... what I didn't notice is that even the cursor is not blinking, the search box is actually focused so you can type and search, but as the history hasn't fully loaded looks like the search box isn't focused.

Also I want to request to add the JamesD entry for open in new window (that didn't work this time when I edited history.xul, controller.js and history.dtd, I'll have to do again (I forgot to remove startupCache :mad), so we don't have to edit each new update. And maybe a new entry for the background window to avoid changing BACKGROUNDTAB to BACKGROUND each update.

Also a few months back deadlock sent me an email because he read me requesting the view certificate buttons when an ssl mismatch certificate. I have to replace each update in omni.ja (I forgot to replace from beta4 to beta4 udpate 4).

He sent me the fix. Looks like you knew it but were forgotting to implement the changes in netError.xhtml and netErrorApp.dtd according his mail.

Here is the patch KM74b3-p1_fix_para_SSL_certificados.7z

I can try to do that. There is much more to fix than what I did before. I did not fix the history.dtd file for all languages. Since I only know English, it will be hard for me to complete this. Dorian can only include this if all the language (locales) files are fixed and included.

I am not sure when I can get the time to do this. Soon, I hope.

You already did the job, only the window in background is missing but that shouldn't be a problem, even for me, I guess...

I was telling Dorian to include your job, nothing else

K-Meleon 74.0Beta's Update 4 seems have a problem with my previous sessions.

A Browser Windows with more than one tab sometimes after resstart only shows one of those pages.

With Update 4 maybe this other pages are not saved or not loaded after I restart the browser.

Another bug I just noticed with the latest update is that I can no longer close the find bar by clicking the X. The only way to close it is to click its text box and press (unless the box already has focus).

If you press the ESC key, The Find Bar will close. which should be useful until the bug with X on the Find Bar is fixed,

Yep, it just happened to me loading KM for this session. On second try, it loaded okay.

It doesn't ever work. The focus some times must be in the search box or ESC key won't work either.

Wrap around was fixed (search last to first match).

Indeed you did fix that little annoyance. Thank you! Now you have kept me addicted to K-Meleon for a while longer, lol.

I notice that upon reload of KM, when it restores the last session, tabs which I have closed reappear. May I suggest you update your session object at the instant of actions such as opening or closing tabs, so that the current state is recorded immediately? This way, barring a system error, the session data is kept constantly current.

Is there a plan to ever record and restore the scroll state of tabs?

I was wrong. naruman fixed enough of the about:addons page to use that Xulrunner/Firefox tech to load the options/prefs of extensions. Provided they are well constructed and do not require things that are not present in K-Meleon.

1.) GreaseMonkey 1.1.5 is the version that supports GRE 20 plus.

Its file ./content/options.xul references

<!ENTITY % preferencesDTD SYSTEM "chrome://browser/locale/preferences/preferences.dtd">

K-Meleon does not have that Firefox file. Missing is just a single entity definition from that file.

<!ENTITY prefWindow.titleWin "Options">

Edit <!ENTITY % greasemonkeyDTD SYSTEM "chrome://greasemonkey/locale/greasemonkey.dtd"> add that entity to the en-US version of that file or whatever language You use and the options menue will work. Or add the Firfox file to the appropriate location in K-Meleon's ./browser/omni.ja.

I did not fix or test the rest. If You have further problems use Console to find and fix your problems. You will constantly encounter and fix this sort of error when You install random Firefox extensions without the complete or much of the Firefox Chrome.

2.) Last Pass writes some Preference values when it is installed. IMHO the two crippling JavaScript errors come from that. But I do not know enough to be sure.

3.) Why don't You check manually whether it compakts the files?

4.) K-Meleon 74 can IMHO play http://www.webmfiles.org/demo-files/. I did not try before I installed the extension but after. I did not find that filetype on the site You mentioned.

p.s. To prepare extensions for install with K-Meleon 74 best use a FF where You toggled extensions.alwaysUnpack to true. That way Firefox unpacks and names the extensions so that You only have to edit the install.rdf.

K-Meleon usually deletes any *.xpi that it finds in profile dir sub folder called extensions. Bluhell's {6BB5760D-F97E-421B-AF5B-8457A90C3CED}.xpi was the only extension that so far installed without being unpacked. And it was the only one not deleted when found there.

Deleting any files was not needed.

I test installed 3 Extension with chrome and Options/Pref Xul. FasterFox 3.9.85. Right to Click 2.9.5 and JasonView. And some of the bootstrap type without Chrome.

BluHell Firewall seems to work as a cut price (less resources used) substitute VW for the blocker-flagship AdBlockPlus. Like a Bentley Adblock Plus has all whistles and uses many resources.

I stopped trying to use it because I knew it was broken. I just tried today and still was broken.

I don't remember if you said it couldn't be fixed. Without any hurry, maybe for the RC

I can confirm. The ID_COPY_IMAGE_CONTENT doesn't work.

I was researching some things about languages other than English and I noticed that the main menu when using ru or zn-CH only displayed ??..??s on my system. Can anyone confirm or explain this for me.

This is shown in KM 74 Beta 4 update 4.

zn-CH

James,
the main menu could display normally in my XP SP3 system,but the tips of toolbar buttons just shown in english no matter which language you choose!

This is shown in K-Meleon 74 Beta 4 update 4.

Edit：The "OK" and "Cancel" bottons of prompt box couldn't show the according locale texts.
