QuoterodocopIn short: it isn't as easy as for flash to get html5 played only on-demand. Devs cannot solve this issue fully, but Gecko41 will bring some partial solution. I'm not believing this for a minute. Perhaps it's not quite easy, but with all the paid full-time programmers they have it could certainly be done - if they really wanted. Personally am sure if Dorian just had e

Not sure, but suggestion to try something: Click on Edit>Configuration>Macros, that will open an explorer window where KM is installed. Now go one step higher into the parent folder. Is there a file named "profile.ini" ? (singular, NOT profileS!) If yes, rename it to hide it from KM (e.g. to profile_ini) If not, create it. Make sure it doesn't have any hidden ending aft

Just curious, could you post a direct link to one or two of such google entries? Because on my old KM1.6 all google pages seem to have titles, am probably searching differently. Unless it's one of my macros, but doubt that thinkereing of that sort was necessary with google at all. Yeah I know different KM history systems, but if a page HAS a title it would be shown in both.

And I even came across a site where FF users were complaining and discussing that those new prefs foliator mentioned have changed their own behaviour between FF versions 24/35/36!

What a pure and peaceful site - yet it has all it needs! So rare these days, sigh.

This meant that I also had to redo the media types, but that's easy now. This stuff really has my head spinning! :confused:

Decided to rename my HOSTS file and => BINGO! The video page shows up. Have blocked some two dozen sites in HOSTS like google-analytics, googleapis... So far looks normal. Allowed JS, blocked Flash, and the familiar Start-Icon appears. Am not going further or might overload my old pc, since KM1.6 cannot stop any stuff once it started loading.

Quotefoliatorthe specific string "MP3" is nowhere to be found in my about:config In that case I'd add it manually. Just because a pref isn't shown doesn't necessarily mean it wouldn't exist or has no effect. Can remember for sure that somewhere on the mozilla pages mp3 was listed among those media prefs.

Attention when using this together with other mimetypes (filetypes) extensions, may cause conflicts. This also overwrites filetype template files for new profiles. Could use a description... When reading the notes inside the kmm, the full function depends on still having an original mtypes.kmm. And this new kmm-file needs version-dependent extension files, which are different for KM1.6 and K

QuoteguenterI transfered my default profile from 74 - > 75. On the assumption that it might be a pref. To no avail. 75 crashes with the 74 prefs. So at least it cannot be a default pref.

Probably most in the default preferences and settings folders, but perhaps

There are tons of prefs for "encoding" and "charset" in about:config, and some are empty. Perhaps the culprit is just a pref? Did a very short test with changing a few but so far no luck (Vista/readme.html).

The sites-list is just a pref, simple thing: "getpref" and "alert" to show it. With some replacement of ; with \n to get linebreaks between sites. If I recall correctly there's something with such linebreaks in oneventcheck.kmm too, perhaps an example. Yes an automatic site-switcher is a great feature, but that doesn't mean the older macro were dead now, just beca

IMO the default UA shouldn't be hardcoded at all. While I don't understand this sophisticated extension, I know from the traditional one that "default UA" simply means the OVERRIDE pref is empty => no overwriting of the native default.

From what little I grasped about new skin system so far, icon pics are not assigned to menu-lines, buttons and toolbars anymore: that means not to positions. They are now linked directly to commands. Wherever that command shows up, it will automatically show its icon. The downside is that buttons and menuicons inevitably have also the same icon size. Unless different sizes are now possible in
