I was not aware of all the terms ... Web extensions and legacy extensions and other Firefox information ... until you posted about them earlier. Have read on Google about them, so I now have a better understanding about some of the newer Firefox changes.
Thanks for explaining more about K-Meleon and legacy extensions. I actually have decided that I really don't need all that filtering with K-Meleon. The big deal for me is being able to turn JavaScript on and off in a fast way.
I am not able to do this with New Moon so the extra filtering does help there.
I also use Proxomitron with K-Meleon and New Moon and it has been 'updated' by Amy at the Un-Official Proxomitron forum. She has been working on this project for over a year and the project is now called 'Proxomitron Reborn'.
I just mention it here since it works with K-Meleon and several M$ OSs ... including XP.
In case there are some forum members that were not aware of this great project going on in 2018. This a post by Amy from 23 July ...

RE: Proxomitron Reborn
As I am going through the list of existing bugs in the original 4.5j and fixing them, I came across this one:
Quote:
Header filter order in config file changes upon save
and this one is related:
Quote:
Header filter list box does not reflect order in which header filters are applied
I think we all agree that the order should not change just by loading and saving the same config file that already has them in some consistent order, but what do you think the correct order should be? Currently, it seems that when it loads, it tries to keep URL: filters at the beginning of its internal list, but the code for that is a little buggy (hence the URL: filters sometimes don't show up at the beginning, and sometimes they do.) I believe Scott intended for URL: filters to be applied before all others, hence the code to treat them differently.
Also, having decided on an order in the config file, what order should be shown in the header filters dialog? The same order as in its internal list (and thus the order in which they are applied), or the current "sorted" order?
Would it break any existing filters? Are there both users who rely on URL: filters at the top, and those who rely on them being sorted "alphabetically"?
If we can make a decision on this, 4.5.2.0 will contain this fix (among many others.)

RE: Proxomitron Reborn
After giving it some more thought, I also believe that having the header filter dialog order be the same order they're applied makes the most sense, so consider that decided unless someone here can come up with a very good reason to use a different order.
I'm currently leaning in the direction of having URL: filters always come first (sorted alphabetically as a group) in the internal list and also at the top of the config file order (i.e. saving a config file will always produce this order), but am open to more suggestions on this. I'll leave this one alone for a while in case anyone else has some opinion it.

Thanks, will be fixed in 4.5.2.0.

Her project has a lot of members excited just like here at this form when roytam1 showed up in the Fall of 2017.
Here is the link to the thread ... Page 1 ... there are 5 pages now but very interesting reading with the discoveries she made as she got deeper into Proxomitron. If you remember Scott R. Lemmon ... Proxomitron was his gift to all of us. His 'original work' is never changed, just updated in ways to not change his original program, as I understand it.
Sadly, he passed away at the age of 36 ...
Scott Richardson Lemmon (January 28, 1968 – May 1, 2004 (age 36)) was the author of the Proxomitron web filtering software.
