I've been using proxomitron on XP for years now, works just fine. No idea about vista/win7 though, nor if 64bit systems might be problematic.

I want the 1.9x GRE for the massive javascript speed increase (all prior versions of the gecko engine have been the slowest F~ing things on the planet!! A fact that becomes more & more aggravating on a daily basis, with so many sites using javascript more & more (stupid AJAX). KM's extremely slow js, due to it's outdated GRE, has been making me seriously consider switching to FF

Unless you've discovered something that I've been searching for for a long time, there's no mplayer plugin for windows based browsers. I suspect that what you're using is the VLC plugin. It also plays nearly any video format, but the browser plugin version has no player controls or access to menus/filters/settings/etc, and it always freezes or crashes your browser if you try t

FFv3 (GRE 19.x) already supports html5 (not fully, but then again I don't think any browser fully supports html4 either, maybe not even 1, 2, or 3 for that matter). Seamonkey v2 also usues GRE 1.9x, so once KM switches over to the new GRE it'll support html5 too.

Have you tried going to the program directly instead of via the shortcuts? (Maybe someone was messing with you & changed the shortcuts.) Unless you chose some other place to install it, it should be in C:\Program Files\k-meleon\ Also, open task manager (hit ctrl+alt+del ONCE) and see if there's already an instance of KM running. I get that sometimes, KM doesn't close properly &am

I remember a lot of discussion in the past about large bookmark files (although those were about filesize, not numbers). Have you tried putting them in subfolders, maybe that will increase the effective limit? (I've never had enough bookmarks to run into a problem like this, so I'm just making guesses here.) Also, as guenter said, you can use the opera style hotlist (you don'

Try going into about:config, or editing the prefs.js file & change the prefetch option to "false". Whenever prefetch is turned on, you can watch KM's memory consumption skyrocket & continue to climb endlessly. Unfortunately, due to the nature of prefetching, it's difficult to tell if it's merely prefetching as it';s supposed to, or if it's the result of

So... This doesn't actually capture the page as KM renders it, but renders it with IE's engine instead? That defeats the purpose. The point of taking any kind of screenshot of a page is to show someone what you see. Since IE is total crap & renders pages differently than any real browser, taking a shot of it's rendering of a page would be pointless.
Forum: General

Couple questions: 1) Does it capture the whole page, or just the part displayed in the browser? If it captures the entire page, then it could be very nice indeed. (Some screencap progs can autoscroll IE to get the whole page, but none seem able to do that with any other browser.) 2) One thing that doesn't sound so good about it is using jpg format. Most pages are better saved in a lossle

Very strange. Does it do it if you put www. in front of it (www.speigel.de)? Try tapping your ctrl, alt, and shift keys a few times (both the left & right ones), perhaps one of them is "stuck", and is sending some strange hotkey signal when you try to type the "s".

You might have noscript installed/enabled (things like this are why I refuse to bother with noscript. It's nice in theory, but it practice there are so many sites which require js, that it's just not worth the trouble of adding them all to the whitelist).

Hmm... the player on that site isn't loading at all for me right now. What kind of error are you getting with the players, and what kind of link are you trying to use in them?

Those dlls have nothing to do with using the players seperately, they're for using the players within KM (as plugins). Keep in mind that KM can access plugins that aren't in it's folder. If you go to about:config & search for "scan", you'll see that KM auto-locates wmp, quicktime, java, and acrobat, and finds them in their own folders. When you're listening

1) You can set KM's disk cache to a larger size, this may or may not help with the streams buffering. 2) Exactly how are you listening to the streams within your browser? Are they flash players, or are you playing them through a browser plugin such as quicktime or windows media? (...And in the last case, which player?) If you are playing them through a plugin, you'll need to adjust

Ya, I know there isn't a lot of speed diff between gre 1.8x & 1.9x, but as I understand it you have to use 1.9x in order to use the new js engine. I wind up frequenting some pretty js heavy sites, and the current(old) js engine is extremely slow. I have tried the same sites with a browser that uses gre 1.9x & the new js engine, and they work about a dozen times faster. I would be

Sounds like I should keep an eye on dorian's 1.6 ver. What I really want is the same browser I currently have (same layout, settings, functions, etc), but faster.

1) I know that hao's versions use the lua system, and from what I've seen here on the forums ever since lua was first used in KM, all newer versions of KM use lua.

Is there a GRE 1.9 compatible version of KM with the old macro system instead of the new lua crap?

Interesting.... ..and here I had just come here today to see if there was any mention of any test builds of KM being made using code from FF3, or at least the new javascript engine (which is insanely fast).

Already read that ctrl+s thread ages ago, and it didn't help.

I have a couple other installations of KM, and they both work fine. After some tinkering, it appears that my "key3.db" file somehow got corrupted.

Usually when a file gets corrupted in a situation like this, it s

I'm not 100% certain if the browser caches all video files, but it definitely caches FLV/flash video files (which is what nearly all the video sites use), it also caches MP3 files. It uses plugins to -render- the files, but the browser itself caches them. The maximum size of any individual cached item in KM is 31.9megs. It makes no difference at all what site I go to.

Checking here first, although I'm pretty sure I'll have to bring it up in mozilla's forums. The cache is a function of the gecko GRE, and problems with the cache are problems with the GRE, right?
