I'm glad I could bring it to your attention. :-) So, you added # to the beginning of the language lines in order to nullify them, clever! Taking a cue from that I deleted the language section entirely and can see that it works great, since the English words are obviously embedded in the getsize.exe and the language section of the INI is meant for easy translation to other languages. But if y

Siria, first of all: congratulations on your creation (monster), I can see that you have poured a lot of time and thought into it and that you must have learned a lot along the way. Secondly, I extracted the files to my K-Meleon folder and ran it without any further setup, everything I tried seemed to work well.

Thanks. Why? I can't explain, but since it was Christian's thread I felt like I was intruding. However, although I wrote in English I carefully composed it so that a machine translation would work well. And to be clear, I only know Google-Deutsch, hehe.

I've certainly learned a lot today, along with Siria it seems. I read the Cache Fixer page (and looked into it's files) and also read the long and interesting bug 105843 page, which describes how this whole issue is intentional, and shows how it's been neglected by developers for many years. Essentially, the whole mozilla cache system is poorly designed and would need to be entirel

I was hopeful, but it did not work for me. I entered the key using the steps shown in the image below, I then restarted K-Meleon. I tested the function using two methods: I browsed a website that always crashes the browser, I also used a process killer. In both cases the cache would be deleted as soon as a new page was loaded (as usual), the previous session choice did not matter. Using default K

Generally speaking, I like the Klassic animated throbber (the Alternative Throbber) but I think it needs more visual action, such as moving background clouds or a color cycling aura, because the delay between puffs of fire makes it too visually subtle. I extracted it's frames some weeks ago but I haven't done anything to change it yet, and I'm not sure if I will ever get around to

Good work! I saw no effect with the simple crash test but the bugzilla links did as desga2 described, unresponsive with 100% cpu usage. K-Meleon had to be killed but I saw no signs of a crash after letting it run a few minutes. Underwhelming. ndebord, I'm afraid I have no specific advice about Sandboxie settings but I recommend reading the documentation at the site as well as going sl
Forum: General

I think you're well covered Dave, hehe. Generally speaking, ActiveX and javascript have always given exploits the keys to the kingdom when little else has, so keeping them under control is often enough. Although earlier this month an EOT exploit against Internet Explorer was published, which didn't require ActiveX or JavaScript to trigger, which is about as severe as it gets. But no mat

Thanks ndebord. I will also note that one might be able to subscribe to some of those advisory lists, to receive an e-mail whenever K-Meleon is mentioned. Also, when composing the list I left two sites out, one wasn't working at the time and one had zero entries for K-Meleon. For side note siria, something more for your tag bag of tricks: opening and closing a tag (such as italic or bo

Nice, timely posting by Matt. Another perspective on the same exploit: vupen.com/english/advisories/2009/3299 I too have wondered about K-Meleon security matters. About all I know (I'm a newbie) is that apart from new official K-Meleon builds there is always the unofficial Gecko updater that apparently covers rendering engine exploits fixed by the Mozilla SeaMonkey folks (http://kmext.s

I'm reminded of something I've been meaning to mention, the official help page needs work.

Thank you again Siria. You convinced me to try the full Gecko update but it didn't cure the frozen screen problem nor did it cure the crashing problem I regularly experience on the cnet site. I'm willing to let the matter rest now.
Forum: Bugs

Thanks Siria! Your test freezes my screen of course, which brings up an important point I failed to mention: these images ONLY cause problems when rendered as favicons by K-Meleon. I can view them directly or embedded in a web page in K-Meleon without any problems, and I can certainly view them with any other software. This underscores the fact that it's related to K-Meleon's rendering

Thank you kind folks. I've wrestled with this some more but it seems hopeless. Having my cache constantly wiped out is intolerable, so to protect my own peace I need to delete the browser and move on.
