Maxthon 2.0.8 Beta Released The Chinese New Year is coming, Maxthon take this opportunity to release a version —— Maxthon 2.0.8 Chinese New Year Edition. In this version, two highly anticipated features have been added - the support for IE/COM plugins, and "Maxthon Downloader", a high speed integrated download manager. To use IE plugins in Maxthon: Click "Tools" > "Maxthon Setup Center" > "Plugins" > "IE Extensions" and select from the list of installed IE plugins. (Please note that the use of IE plugins may affect stability of Maxthon and please use with care.) To use Maxthon Downloader as default download tool: Click "Tools" > "Maxthon Setup Center" > "File Download" and select "Maxthon Downloader". Downloading and downloaded tasks can be managed in "Maxthon Downloader" tab: Click "Tools" > "Maxthon Downloader" to access. (If "Maxthon Downloader" does not appear in the "Tools" menu, please reset the menu bar: Right Click "Tools" > "Add or Remove Buttons" > "Reset") Maxthon Downloader supports innovative P2P technology which can improve download speed, and enable download of some files which no longer hosted in the original server. P2P is not enabled by default, and can be enabled in "Connection Setting". Besides the above new features, this version has also made a lot of improvements to the existing features. For example, download function is added to the context menu of the "File Snipper" dialog so any files can be conveniently saved locally. Last, Maxthon has created a new skin for celebration of the Chinese festival. The new skin can be downloaded from Maxthon Addons.

Once again, thanks indeed for the new release. I'm reporting an issue here although I'm not sure with which release it actually started. Favicons and HTTPs After installation of the first 2.0.8 beta I cleaned out my whole Favicons folder beause it had more than 2800 files in it. After that I realized that Favicons from HTTPs sites are not recognized any longer. Try https://communicator.strato.de against http://communicator.strato.de Make sure you click at first at the HTTPs link because after clicking the usual HTTP link the Favicon is properly stored for the secure address, too. This is my current workaround but it won't work for sites which automatically redirect to HTTPs, e.g. http://www.xing.com @Jarc Proceeding the discussion about an open bugtracking system for Maxthon: Who's responsible now that this bug will be tracked? Do I have to mirror it into the Bug section of the Forum?

There is a Bug when you use m2 Under limited user account in WinXP. I can't start M2 Download Manager (or setup for dm). I don't have write access for default download dir (c:\mxdownloads I think) and that kills dm.

The Fingerprint Reader seems to be working again. [] A suggestion, change the "Download by Maxthon Downloader" to something like "Download with MXD". This is just a too long description imo, the right-click menu doesn't look so good with it. Other than that, good to have the IE extensions supported finally.

Has anyone found that the 'Open feed items in a new tab' checkbox on the feed reader setup seems to be ignored? when i open a feed item it ALWAYS opens a new tab even if the checkbox is cleared.

Maxthon used to use a bug tracker but now the bug section of this forum is serving this purpose. If you'd like to suggest for reinstatement of a bug tracker system, you may starting a new topic for the discussion.

Can't confirm, it's working properly here on a clean install. Feeds are opened according to favorites settings in MSC >Tabs > Open Tab From

IE Developer Toolbar support, please! Or tell me how to enable it manually! My plugins/ie extensions page shows completely nothing. I've installed only the dev. toolbar and ie7pro though, I think it's normal that ie7pro doesn't show in Maxthon. But I really need the dev. toolbar. Please help, anyone!

No, feeds used to obey the settings in the Feed Reader setup. I may want my Favorities to open in a new tab, but not rss feeds. If what you say is true, what is the 'Open feed items in a new tab' checkbox for?

Thanks for the re-confirmation abc. It seems some folks think I am blowing wind when telling how it is sometimes.

Ctrl-Tab does not work if multi-threading is turned off, and with multi-threading on the browser crashes sooner or later as usual. []

You're too negative. " border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" />
Just for curiosity. What bug tracker is internally used?
