A number of pages use browser switches that do not recognize K-Meleon's ID as yet another browser with a Gecko Rendering Engine. You got to help these pages. There is a automatic browser ID changer on Extensions. I do not know whether it is updated. I personally use the browser UserAgentString switching button of Privacy Bar and have added a few choices that help me with the pages I visit.

For 1.5.x You will find some CSS fixes for some pages here: http://kmeleon.sourceforge.net/forum/read.php?1,115782 For most pages it is better to use 1.6.beta2 en-US and identify UserAgent ID as a Firefox 3.6 version. Install this version in separate folder with new name like ./Programas/K-Meleon1.6.beta2 en-US and not into folder with default name "K-Meleon". ALL 1.5 and 1.6 ve

Yes it is dead. BTW AFAIK Dorian compiled bugfixes into plugins and exe and posted them in summer 2012. So it is not all that dead really. My personal opinion. There is no future without drastic changes. HTML Engine? K-Meleon needs an HTML engine update within two years or less. Chrome project, Webkit and MS (yes, MS html engine was the original embed choice) still offer embed pr

My interest goes further or better into another direction than the original question. Maybe I am wrong or too optimistic but I see a broadened opportunity.

Make sure that the plugin is the same version as the one You have installed in Windows/system32/macromed/flash. Else it can interfere and cause errors on some newer systems. XP SP3 or newer.

I do not know which firewall You are using. Normally You set the firewall into learning mode and click ok when You are asked whether that application may start.

Thank you. 1.) Starting from yesterday, for some reason k-meleon browser won't open no matter how many times I press on the icon.

Hi Gordon, basically I told him that he must fake another browser ID, else they send him to a page that is for another browser ( I assume IE ) and is ill formed XML like You said. That error ceases to be a show stopper when You fake Firefox and is not even present with GRE of 1.6+ plus fake UserAgentString. Then I told him to perhaps update to 1.6beta and how to get mostly German menues.

You should ask alain for the last Windows version of the installer maker that is AFAIK 3.3 (or 3.2 which can create no portables) if You work on Windows.

@ monroe Yes, part of the default user agent comes from ../defaults/pref/kmeleon.js. I think the other parts come from the gecko engine itself. ... I don't think any update changed anything in chrome. Your memory is correct as always. The gecko version is hard coded in a dll and changes with the engine updates.
