Yes, it just goes to show you what one can do with a browser and still keep it as light and fast as KM. To satisfy my curiosity I recently installed a portable version of Firefox 43.0.4. You might say I'm what one would call a "glutton for punishment", because wow, that's one bloated browser! :O Its UI is much less user friendly than it used to be, and I could not make FF e

@siria: I just tried the File Open dialog in KM75, and it always brings up the previously opened folder, regardless of the fact that I have set a specific folder for all downloads, so there doesn't seem to be a connection with that setting.

The site imslp.org, which contains a library of downloadable music scores, crashes my KM75 soon after it has finished loading. If it doesn't crash immediately, scrolling down the page will usually do it, or trying to close its tab. This does not occur in my very old version of Firefox (15.0.1) or in Internet Explorer 9. So far this is the only site that has ever crashed KM for me. The sit

Well, the reason I use force reload is that when I get an error message from a site that I can't log in without cookies, a normal reload after enabling them doesn't help.

The above instructions are correct, of course, but sometimes I've had to hold the bookmark over the destination folder a long time to get it to expand; sometimes it refuses to do so. If the folder is already expanded, moving a bookmark in there is still a hit or miss proposition. It's not really a fault of KM, however, because I've experienced the same behavior in Firefox (and in I

This applies not only to K-Meleon, but also to Firefox, so it's apparently Gecko-related behavior, but I wonder if anyone knows how to force the display of local folders to always use the same sort order.

Dharnish, I'm curious what version of Firefox you're using. I still have a very old version of Firefox (15.0.1); I don't use it very often, just for comparisons with K-Meleon, but it has never loaded anything automatically at startup except my home page, which is a local file on my hard drive. The latest versions are likely to be quite different, as it appears that FF has long sinc
