Wow. Long time since I've been here. KM was my favorite browser for many years. Slow dev and website apartheid drove me to Pale Moon - and switching to Linux has kept that permanent. I've missed it, though. The configurability, features like the Hotlinks; there's nothinglike it. Today I happened to wander into the forum, and I discovered KM-goanna. I am running it right now, in

It looks like I am not going to be using KM very much in the future. For one thing, I plan on switching to Debian Linux when I get a new computer somewhen later this year. But also, I had a hard reminder today that my favorite browser is falling too far behind the times. The default theme of a new forum that I installed for my World of Tanks clan is not K-meleon friendly. It works, but there are

It definitely has to do with advertising, and it's certainly not K-Meleon's fault. That freebiesjeebies.org site is a pesthole, IMHO. It wants you to be a sheep in its herd of affiliate cash animals. In other words, there's nothing there that's really free. It's a kind of legal pyramid scheme. You pay with your privacy, and that of anyone you sell to them. Clean out all c

It works pretty well most of the time, but it isn't a perfect solution. Some sites behave very oddly (mostly thanks to insane web designers with acute pernicious HUTAS).

Related to the scrolling problem -- Because I need to zoom font size everywhere, all the time, I notice erratic behavior here. When K-M first opens, Ctrl+mousewheel works fine. Open another tab, and in the new tab it usually doesn't. In each new tab I was forced to use Ctrl+ +, until I realized that switching to a zoomed/zoomable tab and back again makes Ctrl+mousewheel work in the new tab.

Further observations: I can't open saved pages by double-clicking either. I can drag anything in, or use SendTo. The oddest thing is the difference between two program launchers that I use. Both have identical entries for K-M, but one works and the other doesn't. The solution for the one that doesn't work is to use a shortcut rather than the exe as target. NOW the lightbulb i

I recently horked up my poor K-Meleon so badly with a wonky extension that I decided to start over. Instead of the version I had before, I thought it would be cool to try 1.7.0. So far so good, mostly, but it won't open from any external link. K-M is my default browser, so it opens when, for instance, I click a link in a Twitter client. But 1.7.0 just gives me this message: -------------

Besides "fully functional" we need to consider safe. I installed NS for KM, and it screwed up badly with Twitter. The browser was nearly frozen solid when I opened several tabs on Twitter. I had to close all. When it still had problems, I uninstalled the add-on. Now it's worse; KM won't show Twitter at all. I edited out everything I could find so far in the config files that s

Of course it's a waste of time. It's not about giving the user a break, it's about using us. I'm getting a load of shight from Google whenever I get deep enough into my settings.

System diffs, I guess. :-( Crash of the day: http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/builds -- download portable link. Resuming session and merely going to that tab crashed it again. *Sigh* This is about as random as it gets, because I've never crashed there before!

I'm glad I'm not completely alone here The vmware link is a problem because you have to be logged in. The most recent crash was triggered by http://www.thewindowsclub.com/downloads/UWT.zip -- looks simple and innocent, but K-M crashed. Firefox just downloads the download page. Opera gets the file.

Sometimes I hit a download link that crashes K-M, and have to use Firefox to get the file. No idea what makes K-M freak out. I'm going to start keeping track of the events.

Dale -- It is normal for a link in the Favorites folder -- in a Windows Explorer or any other file manager window -- to open in a new browser window. Hard to get Windows, any version, to do otherwise, I would think. There is a simple workaround; just remember to open a new tab before you open the Favorites folder, and drag the link into it. Voilá.

"Recopilated" means "recompiled", right? (ducks) Srsly, nice job. Although all on one page can be a bit awkward, one can copy out the parts one needs most and paste into separate documents of some sort. I usually do that for things I have to refer to often.
