Thanks, kko, for showing me the alternative to viewing the Cookies. As to favicons - at least on my system in order to display some favicons so that they will be stored in IconCache.dat, you have to go into about:config type favicon into the Filter so that it brings up the values: browser.chrome.favicons kmeleon.favicons.titleBar and default them to true.

Regretably, kko, some websites do not find the user agent strings as useless as you. There are still some that see K-M or Seamonkey for that matter and give you a message that you need to upgrade your browser. They won't even let you on the site. We've had this discussion before. As you point out, it is a very easy thing to add into about:config, but the point is, it is a lot easier to

Very nice adaptation. Very fast with flashblock on. However, with flash on, there are some glitches as it seems to interfere with clicking bookmarks and such - nothing that causes the browser to fail, just an irritation. Proxy works great - you can transfer your settings for passwords, bookmarks into the profile easily without breaking it. While you can copy bookmarks over to \prefs, iconcache.d

Depending upon which K-M version you are using, make sure that the K-Meleon plugin for Bookmarks and Favorites is checked. Edit-Preferences-K-Meleon Plugins. Put a checkmark in the Bookmarks and/or Favorites; close down K-Meleon and then re-start it.

I have it working under XP SP3. Took Fred's advice about installing the C++ runtimes. Very fast browser. For some reason the favicons don't work very well. Either it does not retrieve the icon or if it does, does not save it to iconcache.dat. Some, when displayed are so dark that the icon cannot be seen. But, proxy works, tabs work (though they act more like layers). He has improved upo

@marabbeh - K-Meleon really doesn't "import" bookmarks. The reason is that mozilla browsers stash their bookmarks in too many places. However, you can copy bookmarks.html from one Mozilla browser to another. You need to know where your Firefox keeps its bookmarks.html. In General, it is kept in \Documents and Settings\"yourname"\Application Data\Mozilla\Profiles\defaul

@jps - Removing Firefox and reinstalling CCleaner will not cause CCleaner to default to K-Meleon. So, save yourself some time. As was indicated above, you can accomplish the same thing in K-Meleon by going to Tools-Privacy-ClearData.

@AAB This kind of thing usually happens when a Profile is corrupted. It can also happen when you have two different K-Meleon versions installed on the computer and their profiles are incompatible and both were installed as multi-user. Each time one is run, it "breaks" the other's profile. IF you have only one K-Meleon version installed and the profile keeps disappearing, then yo

You must have posted as I did.

For many extensions, use those that you find at Jujuland. In the case of Adblock Plus it is best to go here: http://adblockplus.org/en/kmeleon for the latest version. Download it, and when you unzip it, point it to the folder where k-meleon.exe is stored. When you start K-Meleon, it will ask you subscribe to one or another groups, just choose one. In the case of NoScript, go to Jujuland.

@Luys - Right click on the icon (wish I could make out what it is - looks squarish) that brings up options-preferences and at the General tab, be sure to uncheck Block Flash. Sometimes you have to close down K-M after doing this to get Flash to work. If Flash Block is unchecked and Youtube still does not come in then, because Youtube and other sites use Adobe Flash player (or Shockwave player), y

@Luys - Hao puts things in unusual places. 1. Copy your bookmarks.html found in your K-M 1.1.5 to \K-M CCFME\pref or if you used Hoa's default directory, it would be \K-MelionCCFMEO.09Beta1\pref then copy the IconCache.dat to \Profile\"number"\ 2. To get some pages to show correctly, you will have to uncheck the FlashBlock since many pages use flash.

@momotaro - Follow JamesD's excellent advice. In addition, since this brings up an instance of Windows Explorer, You will want to highlight both bookmarks.html and iconcache.dat together.

Do they? To me they look approximately the same as in SeaMonkey. The spacing between urls in the bookmark menus appear to be closer in K-M than in Firefox which makes the favicons look a little more bunched together. But, to tell the truth, it might just be a function of the resolution of my monitor, but the favicons look pretty much like those in SeaMonkey and Firefox.
Forum: General

@JamesD - perhaps since Dorian made this an install file rather than a zip file, it is possible that (if you are using more than one K-Meleon version) that inadvertantly the 1.5beta was installed as multi-user rather than installing it as a local (using profile.ini) It may be that 1.5b overwrote your K-M 1.1.4 or new 1.1.5 or even 1.5alpha version and there were files from the earlier K-M (found

Thanks, Fred, should have mentioned about localization through the .ini file. That having been said, you can in fact have two instances of the 1.5 series running simultaneously.

The trick is using the -new in running them from a shortcut: build 22 is invoked: "C:\Program Fil
