Yeah some website authors use very specific code, in that case a mere name-tag change doesn't help of course. Luckily the big majority of authors just willfully shut out people without any technical reason, just to force them to use another or more bloated browser, so in most cases a fake useragent helps. But look at the (hopefully) bright side: if you use the occasion to also define a ma

i) No, of course not :cool: ii) No prob if you know how. Actually it still works as before, based on gecko prefs, only the interface is gone, because the macro was removed. Copy over the one you used in KM74 (useragents.kmm in macros folder). The slightly harder part is to copy over the list. The ones you created manually should be in your profile in prefs.js If you copied over your profile,

So it was just High Contrast in Windows Accessibility! Hmm.... but you definitely do NOT need Aero for that.

LOL! bookmark-phobia? I sure understand if you prefer Favorites in general - I do too. But the great thing about KM is that you can use all 3 systems completely independant from each other!

Thanks, but what I wonder: why a browser for win98 if your system is another? And possibly a misunderstanding: the old KM1.5.4 is NOT always better as 1.6beta, only sometimes.

Into the root folder of KM, usually c:/programs/K-Meleon/ or similar. Macros can alternatively go into the user profile folder, but the above is simpler, especially for unzipping with a ready-made folder structure. Good luck

Since you didn't tell your KM version yet, perhaps you're still on the older version, KM74? (the download page isn't exactly brandnew ;-) If so, then open your current profile folder (Edit>Configuration>Profile Directory) and find the file "prefs.js".

Just as a side note, people who use the privbar or the privacy menu for toggling cookies get only all or nothing anyway. Unless I'm mistaken the third-party setting is only available via the pref sheets, which takes more time as the other 2 ways, so most people probably never use that and never notice this google spy feature. It would be possible to toggle between 3 settings, via menu or

Just wondering if perhaps it would be better to have "Favorites" already enabled out of the box? Otherwise they are real hard to discover if one isn't already aware this function exists.

QuoterodocopAFAIK macro itself can change pref only at startup unless you set any additional $OnEvent-trigger. Or it can create menu point to toggle pref manually.

Macros can change prefs directly, no prob, and there's no difference how a pref is changed: be it by macro, by menu or by an e

I'm rather sure the browser is NOT meant to drop things into the "last" folder, unless it's picked manually each time. Rather into the fix downloads folder that users can set in the prefs, in "File Handling". If that path is empty the default target is the one you got, guess for other browsers too.
