This macro is created by JamesD in order to give user menu item for Downloads page call.

Adding kmm-file errorizes my KM by itself.
I've tried to rename it (and all functions inside), change code opening dl-page - nothing helps!
But removing file or switching macro off in Preferences - both lead to correct work being back.
A sort of magic! (My system is WinXPSP3)
UPD.: Sorry, James - it seems like particular problem of my OS! Testing on the other PC gives no errors! All works fine!

Mystery to me too. File looks fine. Just blind guessing...
Are there also probs when you type about:downloads in urlbar and go there?
Does it helping encoding the kmm in utf-8 (although contains itself no special characters, but no idea if localizations have influence)?
Does it help if you reduce the command to 1 line?

_downloads_BuildMenu{
setmenu("&View",macro,"Downloads","_downloads_History");
}

When you renamed the kmm file, did you also change the name where it is added to this line?

$macroModules=$macroModules."downloads;";

I have an old laptop with XP on it. If I can find the time, I will drag it out and put 75 on it and test.

Or perhaps it has to do with the pref they mention here
https://support.mozilla.org/de/questions/909382

PS: would place it higher in the menu, and not make it dependant from fullscreen-plugin:
setmenu(NavEx,macro,"Downloads","_downloads_History");

Or as Dorian mentioned, in macros meant exclusively for new KM versions he'd prefer opentab:
_downloads_History{ opentab("about:downloads") ;}

Or who knows, perhaps this page needs to be opened in a window??
_downloads_History{ opennew("about:downloads") ;}

PS: macromodules has no function to my knowledge, just for info

As I said - it was like a mystification!

I've renamed file (and ALL instances of 'downloads' inside!), I've changed to opentab, I've commented 'if version' - nothing works!

Any KM instance on my home PC became erroneus with that kmm. And no glitches on my work PC with the same OS version.

It looks like something is corrupted there in system as other things also differ: for example, I can run secons instance of KM there WITHOUT 'new'-parameter :O

Sounds like your home PC is ready to get nicknamed "strange".

I have my old laptop powered up and now I need to put KM 75 RC2 u1 on it. I will report what I find.

@ robocop

This post is coming from my old laptop w/XP. I copied my KM from the desktop to this pc. I have just looked at the downloads and then came here to post.

So far, everything seems to work. Your home PC may just be unique.

Very weird. And the error console says nothing?
What happens when you type "about:downloads" in urlbar and open from there?

Just in case, but you've probably tried already to download RC2 again with u1 and unzipped them into a new empty folder?

I added quotes around some items and changed Downloads to Down&loads. I don't know if actually required, but maybe will help on some operating systems.

This one works fine on my 'buggy' system!

Great! I will report that to the person who suggested the change.

Now if I just knew if it was the added quotes or the & that fixed the problem. Of course it could have required both.
