UserMx7 Posted August 17, 2022 Report Share Posted August 17, 2022 Finally sort bookmarks by date added and date created!!! You add and fix any Nonsense, not Important things! Very, Very sorry, but this is not a workable product!!! Developers seem to pay attention to all sorts of nonsense, not important things. There was a very amazing product that turned into god knows what!!! Why the f... are you doing all sorts of unnecessary extras if you can't do the basics?! You add unnecessary functions to anyone like Vbox, vpn, but no one adds important ones! The level of development of the project is at zero! I'm going to go use a F-fox that flies like a bird, rather than wait another 5 years to fix elementary functions that were in the 5th version Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MichaelC362 Posted August 17, 2022 Report Share Posted August 17, 2022 Hello! Downloaded quick enough, install as slow as ever for v6 (Maxthon 5 used to install in under 2 seconds!) & you might want to rethink the tag line about giving you wings as I'm sure Red Bull will have something to say about that! However, still, it removes any default web browser from Windows (8.1 Professional 64bit) settings & prompts when first loads, but does NOT make the change so I have to manually go into Windows settings to set Maxthon as default. Bright VPN, for me, wouldn't connect, so I removed the extension & uninstalled the program, but, every time I load Maxthon, it's added itself back in & requests to be allowed, which I block, remove & once again remove the extension, which just comes back next time... sounding very like a virus rather than a security product! The Maxthon Classic theme is still stuffed with missing top right min/max/close icons missing. The other built-in themes are also iffy when clicking system/light/dark & theme as sometimes the icons are displayed & sometimes not. For now, I've installed a third party theme & that's working fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you try to disable all extensions and download again? 8 hours ago, TarMaster said: HBO Max does not work in this version as well. 😪 Hi TarMaster, the developers are looking into fixing this issue right now.

cherey Posted August 18, 2022 Report Share Posted August 18, 2022 Since I installed version 900, Maxthon no longer opens websites from files with a url extension. It does it as if it were a txt file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All is as I say, so the video or screen shot isn't going to provide any further information. The themes have been screwed for the last few versions. Interestingly, today, when I loaded Maxthon, Bright VPN didn't try to add itself back in (although I did report it, multiple times, so maybe a factor) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. I've tried with Maxthon 6.2.0.800 with Windows 10 and all works fine. The problem is with Windows 7 SP2 x64 since version 6.2.900. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cherey Posted August 19, 2022 Report Share Posted August 19, 2022 Hi! I have managed to get files with a .URL extension to work correctly. From Windows Explorer, right click on the URL file and choose the default browser option. That's all. Since Maxthon is my default browser, it now opens without problem. I deduce that version 6.2.0.900 had some influence because version 6.2.0.800 works perfectly (in other PC) with Windows 7 and Windows 10, while version 900 (and also internals 906 and 909) display the text content of the URL file. The biggest problem is that if you reinstall any version prior to 6.2.0.900, the URL file doesn't run correctly anymore. I have looked at the contents of the windows registry and it has changed to the following key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.url Its exported content (in text mode) is as follows: -------------------- Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.url] [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.url\OpenWithList] "a"="ieframe.dll" "MRUList"="a" [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.url\OpenWithProgids] "Max6UrlFile"=hex(0): [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.url\UserChoice] "Progid"="IE.AssocFile.URL" -------------------- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cherey Posted August 19, 2022 Report Share Posted August 19, 2022 Now the problem is open some web sites that Maxthon can not open. For example: https://radio.garden/ Maxthon converts this line to: http://radio.garden/ and produces an error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
