K-Meleon & Windows Presentation Foundation

[Davezilla17]

I have discovered this in K-Meleons 'About Plug-ins', is this the same thing that MS are trying to push on Firefox & SeaMonkey users?

Windows Presentation Foundation

File name: NPWPF.dll
Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) plug-in for Mozilla browsers

MIME Type Description Suffixes Enabled
application/x-ms-xbap XAML Browser Application xbap Yes
application/xaml+xml XAML Document xaml Yes

Davezilla,

I don't see that plugin listed in my version of K-Meleon (1.5.3) nor in the plugins sub-folder?

Did you install with multiple users or single user? Perhaps if you have info in windows sub-folders you are picking up settings from other Mozilla browsers?

Anyhow, if you would, ask this question over in the K-Meleon forum.

That's intersting.

Single user. It may be picking up things from SeaMonkey 2.0. or Firefox. I don't see it in F2 - K-Meleon Plug-ins.

Anyhow, if you would, ask this question over in the K-Meleon forum.

I think I did.

I have just had a really good look at the K-Meleon folder on my computer & I can't find it in either of the extensions folders. My guess is that it is some form of cross-over from Firefox or SeaMonkey. In fact I logged into a site with K-Meleon yesterday & it seemed to know my password. I may be wrong about this but I don't remember putting that particular password into K-Meleon. Is this cross-over of information common with Gecko engined browsers on the same hard-drive?

I have only been using it as a browser for about eight days now. I did download 1.5.1 last year but it would not bookmark properly in Vista. It works really well now. I originally downloaded it because I thought I might have to replace Opera 10 which was crashing on me a bit. I like to have two main browsers (SeaMonkey & Opera) with a back up for each. I removed my old Yahoo Messenger & Opera is now fine.

I'm keeping K-Meleon though, it's light on memory & really fast. I have set it up so I can do a lot of academic research with it leaving my other browsers free for general Web use (I prefer it to Firefox).

Last year, at about this time, I had a hell of a time upgrading to Fx #3 & so I downloaded SeaMonkey 1.1.12 to see what it was like. When I finally sorted out Firefox I found that I preferred SeaMonkey. I originally intended then to set SM up as a 'research' browser but it ended up as one of my main day to day browsers.

If there is one thing I have learned about computer programs it is that you can never have too many back-up systems!
