@Anixx To make a long story short - for different reasons it is not advisable to overwrite a program which you installed through an installer by unzipping a portable version over it. Something you can do and it will work for sure: 1. Downlod the portable package of the old vesion you want to upgrade. 2. Unzip that package to a location of your choice.

OK, "arte tv" works with both Firefox ESR and K-Meleon76RC2. I retested to see why it didn't work for me before. It was because of my user.js file. Some setting(s) for privacy and for making fingerprinting harder were the reason. However I didn't bother to look further and see which of those setting(s). The site doesn't need flash to work. However with flash enabl

It's not K-Meleon related. Latest Firefox ESR is affected as well and so is Opera Presto. To blame is "arte tv". They changed their code forcing people to use only browsers the code was modified to work only with.

I assume that it's hardware related. With my quadcore CPU it takes 1+ second to view the source (KM75, KM76RC). Firefox needs the same amount of time. External or internal viewer, it makes here no difference. Opera Presto fetches the source faster (instantly).

It's a matter of personal preference. I've never installed the install package for Flash from Adobe (Macromedia). I always only download the stand-alone plugin (NPSWF32.dll). That's how I'm using Flash with K-Meleon, Opera Presto and Firefox ESR since ages. For Firefox you will also need FlashPlayerPlugin.exe to be placed next to NPSWF32.dll. The pedantic way with K-Meleo

Quoterodocop AFAIK, plugin.scan.plid.all defines search in system folders. Setting it to false doesn't prevent KM from finding plugins in its own secondary subfolders (liке browser/plugins). That's correct. I have plugin.scan.plid.all disabled myself. I didn't meant plugins in its own secondary subfolders (liке browser/plugins) but system folders.

Quoterodocop I use /browser/plugins and I'm not sure about root. Root directory, the topmost directory of a hierarchical file system. In this case: K-meleon root\plugins = main folder: K-Meleon\ subfolder: plugins The above is the standard/classic way. However K-Meleon will scan for plugins during start-up (plugin.scan.plid.all) and will find them in other (sub)folders too.

K-Meleon's code is based on Firefox ESR. Firefox doesn't have the MP4 decoder built-in natively because MP4 is a proprietary codec. AFAIK, Google and Microsoft are coowners of that codec. However if the OS has the splitter/decoder built-in, Firefox will use it to play MP4 files. Same applies for K-Meleon. On Windows7 I can watch MP4 streams or locally saved MP4 files with K-Meleon.

@Mark Blain K-Meleon's code is based on that of Firefox ESR. Newest Firefox ESR have pdf.js built in. Hence a future version of K-Meleon will probably have it built in as well. As handy as it might look at first glance, keep in mind that this feature might pose security and privacy risks. IMHO, best practice is to disable this feature in browsers and open PDF-files with a dedicated vie
