Believe it or not, a rabbi told me this joke 60 years ago: A married couple somehow had the idea that they could predict the future career of their baby boy by placing a couple of objects in front of him and observing which of them he'd pick up. They sat him on the floor, placed a bible in front of him at his left, and then a twenty-dollar bill at his right. They figured if he picked u

QuoteJohnHell What Opera does is rewrite the URL. When Opera displays file://localhost/c:/x.html, what it is actually doing is open file:///c:/x.html. Do the test and you will see, foliator I no longer have Opera to test it with, but thanks for the explanation. Now I see that KM will accept localhost if used between the second and third slash, like in your example, but then removes it fr

@Gary: OK, sorry about my ignorance about tech stuff. I'm neither a web designer nor a developer, don't run a server, and I also overlooked the fact that your file was a .php. At any rate, I'm currently using KM 75 (not 75.1), and localhost definitely does not work here for my local HTML files, either with or without http://. As I mentioned above, it did work in an old version o
Forum: Bugs

Gary, if the file is on your local hard drive, you shouldn't use "localhost", because K-Meleon doesn't recognize it and tries to find it on the web. Even if you don't start with http:// it will add it automatically. Try using "file://" instead, plus the path to your file. For example: file://C:/Users/someone/someplace/index.php I remember having to specify

The history window always comes up centered, too, regardless of where I moved it last. Oh, well, at least the column widths are remembered.

As for the URLs, I'm satisfied just seeing the tooltip. At any rate, I've made allowan

QuoteYogi The pedantic way with K-Meleon is to create a folder in K-Meleon's main directory and name it "plugins". There you can place NPSWF32.dll or any other plugins you want to use with K-Meleon. However K-Meleon will find and use the plugin wherever it is placed in its directory. That DLL file is available here: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B5M9MrgoS-10ZDF4R1VC

Some browsers, such as Firefox and Chrome, will remember the zoom settings you use for each site if you've zoomed them up or down on the first visit, even after you've cleared your cache and history. In Firefox it can be cleared if "site preferences" is checked in the dialog, but not in Chrome, which retains them. You can clear the zoom settings there, too, but you have to dig

On walmart.ca, the search box works fine in KM 75, but in 76 RC searching only reloads the home page. Judging by what appears in the address bar upon entering the search string, Walmart is trying to use an entirely different search script with 76 RC (and also recent Firefox versions) than with 75. In 75, for example, the URL looks like this when searching for "computers": http://www
