SirNasso Posted February 7, 2023 Report Share Posted February 7, 2023 3 hours ago, BugSir009 said: Hi SirNasso, could you disable all extensions and see if this issue persist? I have only 2-3 extensions enabled. But to my huge surprise, found one extension called "MSN homepage and search engine" which I'm 1000% sure I didn't install myself. I have no idea how it got installed and enabled. Could this be included in some Maxthon or Windows update? But removing it fixed the problem.

It is good that you found the extension which causes the problem. It is advisable that you run an antivirus scan and see if it could detect and remove any malware.

MichaelC362 Posted February 7, 2023 Report Share Posted February 7, 2023 6 hours ago, BugSir009 said: Hi MichaelC362, if you have selected the setting 'to the right of current tab' and would like the new tab to be opened on the right, you will have to select the very last tab before clicking on the '+'. Alternatively, you may select the setting of 'to the right of all tabs', where all new tabs will be opened at the right regardless which foreground tab you are on. Hello! I know that's a workaround, but it's still not ideal. If I have open tab to the right set, when I'm on a tab, I DO want it opened to the right, but if I'm expressly clicking the "+" which is already at the end of the tabs, one would expect that to open there, on the right, but at the end, NOT next to the last tab that had focus. This is logical, but the current system really isn't (when clicking the "+", it's correct at other times). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelC362 Posted February 7, 2023 Report Share Posted February 7, 2023 Hello! The Maxthon account manager website (www.uu.me) still refers to Mx6 rather than Mx7: However, more worryingly, once one has logged in & clicked on PassKeeper (which is spelt differently on the website to within Mx menu (Passkeeper), right click & view page source shows, in PLAIN TEXT, all stored websites, usernames & passwords... surely this shouldn't still be doable in 2023!? One would expect the password to remain encrypted until the point of use! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But anyway, the problem is solved If you run Maxthon with a shortcut icon, check if there are no additions and other parameters in the line after the path, as in the photo there should not be. If there are any entries, remove them leaving only the correct path to the Maxthon file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MichaelC362 Posted February 8, 2023 Report Share Posted February 8, 2023 Hello! I have a customer with a non-booting Windows & they need to get their bookmarks & passwords (ideally autofill too), is there a simple option? Maybe I could use a portable version of Maxthon on another computer & just copy the old "User Data" folder? I've heard some browsers use the 'Machine ID' for encryption, so that might not work. It's rare customers use the online account, despite being advised to do so! Not many browsers support Maxthon data & the same with utilities that claim to do this task.

This is logical, but the current system really isn't (when clicking the "+", it's correct at other times). Ya, this is an irritation for me... I have used the setting "To the Right of Current Tab" since Maxthon Classic. And forever the "+" has always opened at the END of all Tabs, where the + button is. But since 6.0 Maxthon if you have the "to the Right of Current Tab" set, the stupid + button opens to the Right of current tab which is entirely NOT intuitive. So, currently I'm forced to use the "To the Right of ALL Tabs" in order to make the + open at the end like it should. This needs to be fixed... The + should open at the END of ALL Tabs no matter what setting we have set in where we like the Tabs to open, next to current tab or at the end or otherwise.

MichaelC362 Posted February 8, 2023 Report Share Posted February 8, 2023 Hello! When on some websites (e.g. Outlook), I see an icon in the address bar saying "This site has been blocked from seeing text and images copied to the clipboard"... when I click 'Manage' it just takes me to Maxthon - Settings - General, where there's no management of said setting. However, if I've copied plain text to the clipboard (e.g. from Notepad) or a picture, I can still paste that into an email, so the blocking doesn't work anyway!

MichaelC362 Posted February 8, 2023 Report Share Posted February 8, 2023 Hello! On QuickAccess, the settings for screen text offer white on dark mask or black on light mask, but although the text colour changes, only the weather & search box actually have a mask, the other text (photo by, MaxNote | PassKeeper & Quick Access (which really doesn't need to be present anyway!), do NOT have a mask. I said before, they should interrogate the image below, but that's not gonna work with pictures where the content varies in those areas, so actually adding the mask, as stated in settings, would fix this.

Xahi4475 Posted February 8, 2023 Report Share Posted February 8, 2023 But, now something's not right. I don't want to disable Smart Address Bar. i got used to write 1 letter and then I see suggestions. To make Aliases work I had do disable Smart Address Bar. Why? You broke something. Earlier Smart Address Bar and Aliases worked fine together. Edit: compromise would be disabling "show in search Results: search suggestion" then Aliases works with Smart Address Bar enabled, but not with "Alias" ENTER, but "Alias" then MOUSE CLICK. Still it was better earlier. But, I guess I'm alone in this. 😋 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello! I never noticed the button before, but can see it could a be useful security feature. However, it needs to do what it says, so if set to block, then it should block (& prevent the website from accessing the clipboard too), but it doesn't currently do that for plain text or images (haven't tried it with formatted text). Better implementation would be to prompt the user, but then what would the criteria be as many websites are information only, so it wouldn't be applicable?

Hello! As I said, they have a non-booting Windows, so NOTHING can be done to the old installation. Do you encrypt based on 'Machine ID' (like Chrome does)? Do you encrypt at all!? If there's no encryption, then 'restore local' would be able to access the Bookmarks, Passwords & QuickAccess from the old drive (maybe connected via a USB caddy/dock). What about autofill & spell check, can they be transferred? Will you be supporting more web browsers for import data (e.g. Mozilla Firefox, Opera, Brave, Vivaldi, etc)? Which previous versions of Maxthon can Mx7 restore backups from - Mx6, I'd expect yes as it's basically the same browser as Mx7, but what about Mx5 or earlier? If customer decides to goto a different web browser, I assume I could import Bookmarks, Passwords & QuickAccess into a portable Mx7, but, unless I'm missing something, I see only an option to export Bookmark to HTML, nothing else, so they'd lose all passwords, autofill, etc. I know of no other web browser (or any standalone utility) that supports import data from Maxthon.
