Thanks guys I always learn something new from your responses. I'm taking the ez way out... just copied my portable backup to USB stick. It should work for a while. I think the issue arose when I shut down computer without exiting k-meleon. Either that or I have too many RSS feeds packed into NewsFox. Mind you, a bum web site might have done it. The computer in question is old... :mad:

I keep getting that "send to Microsoft" crash report and K-Meleon won't start. I spent a lot of time customizing so don't want to start from scratch. Might there be a simple file I can copy from a freshly downloaded version to fix the problem? I'm pretty sure I have a backup of 75.1 portable on my external HD but it's upstairs, I'd have to get out the USB st

Interesting... so IBM thought it was obsolete and then realized it might have a future?

Thanks guys for both your replies. I already have the button visible so what I did was download the older K-Meleon and simply added the file. I wanted to keep "mail" functional so left it, instead of replacing it. With the added file, I did this edit: ***** NewsFox{ # For K-Meleon 1.5 and newer macroinfo=_("Open NewsFox for reading news feeds"); &NewsFox11; }
Forum: General

I can access NewsFox by right clicking "Read Mail" icon and then clicking menu. But I'd like to access it directly from orange "Read Rss Feeds" icon. Is there any easy way? I'm probably missing something right under my nose.

Oh I see. well, even though I couldn't write the code, I find it interesting to see some of the underlying logic as indicated at that web site. And as I say, it got me thinking about macros, which I then figured out. So it's all good. Any replies are always appreciated. K-Meleon is enabling me to get more life out of an old laptop with only 512mb ram and an AMD sempron processor. I

Cool that would be nice to try. Btw, I just tried aforementioned macro again and it posted article title and shortened url. So for now I am very happy!

After a few days of trying out all sorts of RSS solutions, I came across NewsFox which for me is the best app or add-on I've tried. But I haven't been able to find an easy Share on Twitter add-on for K-Meleon... like this https://browsernative.com/share-on-twitter/ Any suggestions? I'm not a coder so it has to be simple.

I ordered 2gb RAM (2 x 1gb) thru Amazon. I matched all the specs, as far as I know. And it fits. The computer beeped 4 or 5 times when I tried it. I tried all combinations with my previous RAM (2 x 256mb). I cleaned the RAM contacts. (Even tho it was supposed to be new, it didn't look new and wasn't packaged like new). So maybe it was defective. Or maybe there is some other way I

Thanks for the tip. Because this particular machine is only 512mb ram I'm really trying to keep this installation as light as possible. I have another old computer that has about 1.5 gb ram.
