Seems it's impossible to use abc@home's plugin SpeeDial in this version too. Removed the speeddial module but then Maxthon won't even start. Freezes with a completly blank frame.

Reverted back to 2.5.5 again

cannot confirm.
does this also happen with a clean installation? it's not that i suggest to use it, but might be helpful for the devs.

Found the problem that was causing it.... In the profile\config folder M2 creates a folder called MxSpeedDial too and if that's there when you have deleted the mxSpeedDial folder in the module folder, Maxthon will freeze. Once I deleted the folder in my profile\config, Maxthon starts.

Outdated language file

Why Polish (and others) language files included in installer are still outdated?
Actual Polish language file can be found in dedicated thread: http://forum.maxthon.com/viewthr ... uid=36700#pid404414

Would be much smarter if they put all language files outside of the Maxthon installation package and whenever you switch language to something else, it will download it from a central repository where language files are stored.

can't get javascript popups to work in this version. Previous versions worked fine with our time report system and it still works very good with IE8.

Changed back to 2.5.5 and here it still works, so something is broken in the new versions.

Back to older, working, versions :/


This function call just produces a blank page for me.
javascript:show_calendar('frmTimeReport.from', null, null, 'YYYY-MM-DD')

There is cut off problem with korean characters in Maxthon 2.5.8 Final.
Please check this post. http://forum.maxthon.com/viewthread.php?tid=76925&extra=page%3D1

Upload it here: http://translate.maxthon.cz/

I made it for Czech and now is in installation. But in other folder and without some letters (with diacritic).

Reply 10# Dev's post

I can't upload Polish language file there :(
As I reported here: http://forum.maxthon.com/viewthr ... uid=36700#pid459813 there is still problem with Polish characters after uploading to http://translate.maxthon.cz/
Shaana promised to solve this problem but probably he (or Culprit) has no time. I do not want to upload Polish language file without Polish characters. That is why I use thread with translations files and addons site

I wrote to Culprit but he is very busy now.

Try write on end of thread http://forum.maxthon.com/viewthread.php?tid=62815 and PM to some Maxthon developer.
Great another final release.
No crashes or freezes up to now.
Please update Dutch:

BTW, on Maxthon.com the language packs also are ancient.

How do I disable the Quick Access feature when it crashes when opening a new tab?

Or at least how to reset the Quick Access settings?

I have 2.5.8 installed

Peter

New Info:  I went in via Maxthon Safe mode and then back to normal and the "Blank Tab" is working again.  Also, the "Focus" bug doesn't appear to occur in the "Quick Access"/Blank Tab.  Only in other tabs, with other web pages.

1: the name of the built-in external tools are in chinese (I think)

2: Why Maxthon Guardian list shows F:\... instead of C:\... at built-in external tools? F drive is my DVD-ROM.

1. No, but you can right/click to edit them..
2. Those are the same files that show in Chinese. FYI, all my files are shown and located on my C drive

Do you have vista or windows7, and xp or windows2k dual boot system? Vista/win7 will make itself c:\ even it is not and mess up the drive letters.
