Hi!
No option to disable the new panel Quick Access/MaxNote.

When opening previously closed tabs, 2 browser windows open. One empty, the second with previously closed tabs. The problem has been known for a long time, but it has not yet been fixed.
 

Fix it

Hi alexzhus, you can choose to close the new top panel in QA page settings. Kindly go to Settings < Appearance < disable Show Top Bar

I have feedback this issue to the development team previously and was told that by opening the closed tabs in a new window, user will be able to click back and forward at the tab page to see previously opened sites. On the contrary, if tabs were to be opened in current window, user will not be able to click back to view previously opened sites.

I can also restore them and they also open normally for me. But the fact is that 2 browser windows open, not one.

This is what I meant.
It used to open two windows 
Now it opens in the same window

I'm using the installed version on windows 10

Last two updates. Netflix not working. Unsupported broswer. And im using clear maxthon..... So currently is 16th update! SKY is not fixed yet... Now netflix stop working. Make maxthon great again....  Good old times when MX5 got update two time per year and always be 100% fine. 

The problem is that chromium gets updated very frequently and Maxthon Devs haven't yet found a way to implement it ASAP
I suggested many times that they split Maxthon to two channels,
Beta: for implementing the latest chromium as soon as it's updated and

Stable: where they use the best chromium that has been tested in their beta channel and users have already contributed to finding bugs and issues in it

This way users who like Maxthon and use it as their primary browser will have a stable version handy

while enthusiastic users who love contributing to the development of Maxthon know what they're dealing with

and all will be happy

BTW:

You can use a UA extension that will solve this problem till they find a way to get the engine updated faster

"Show wallpaper switcher" button in New Tab Page settings still doesn't work.

Hi Magdalene, bug reported.

Thank you. But this is not implemented very well. Each time you go to the Quick Access page, the top bar flashes for a split second and then turns off.

Hi Chemodan, bug reported.

Hi Ben.L.Salomon, I have reported this issue to the development team for them to look into it.

So you are in luck. I have 2 windows open. Win 7 x 64

 

And they try to tell me the following:

But if it is implemented as described above, then why do you have one window open and everything is fine. Something is not clear.

Hello!

Today, when I opened Maxthon, it briefly flashed a white background & exited, with no error... Upon relaunching, I was signed out & despite repeated attempts, it wouldn't let me sign in again (no error).  The entries under Passkeeper were still present for website & username, but all had lost the passwords (i.e. every one of them were blank). I performed a complete uninstall, via HiBit Uninstaller, removing all registry + file traces & then reinstalled the latest beta & that allowed me to signin ok.  After waiting quite a while (maybe 10 minutes) it finished syncing & I had the passwords & most settings back (not all are synced, don't know why you'd do some & not others!?). Obviously, I can't send any logs here as I did a full remove, not just uninstall, so simply reporting the issue.

When opening a new tab or browser session, despite "Show top bar" being disabled, briefly, the top bar is still shown, before being removed... would it not make more sense to check the setting first & display or not accordingly!?

For me, one of the most annoying 'features' of recent Maxthon is to not open a new tab on the right, when clicking the "+", when another tab has focus... opening next to that tab would be fine if I was say opening a link, but clicking the "+" should open the tab there - it's logical & what we've all gotten used to from past versions, so expect in current releases.

Hello!

Despite "Tab sleep" not being ticked, tabs are still being put to sleep, although not all of them...

I have 8 tabs set to open at startup everyday &, on some days, some are never brought to focus, but they still remain 'awake' & others, which have been clicked on, later goto sleep!

Hello.

I have about 150 links in Favorites (in a separate folder), and this version shuts down when I try to open all of them in Incognito mode.

Thanks!

Confirmed here though I have only 8 tabs only

Edit:
It does that even with a folder that has only 2 tabs

Edit:

It doesn't do it if the folder has only 1 tab

Hello!

On a computer with Maxthon where there are no bookmarks, the "Import bookmarks" link appears above the QA screen, where the bookmark bar would be, even if "Custom UI/Show bookmarks bar" is disabled...

There are QA shortcuts, which are all that's used & needed on this computer, but if that bar wasn't shown, there'd be more screen space (not enough for a whole row of shortcuts, but could be enough to show all of the shortcuts for a row that was otherwise cut off by this wasted line).

I find it aesthetically displeasing as the option is off, but the bar is still shown!

Also, when changing the number of shortcuts in QA per row ("Quick Access/Layout/Item per row" (which is spelt wrong as should say "Items")), would be good to be able to use some of the wasted space to the sides, rather than just making the shortcuts smaller.  This could be achieved with changeable 'margin' sizes as a setting.  I've seen plenty of customer's computers where there were so many shortcuts, they weren't all displayable without scrolling, but if they were displayed utilizing more of the screen width, they'd have fitted.

Good idea but... Stable version would use it all the time chromium 98 :Upside-Down_Face_Emoji_Icon_42x42: 

And as for the beta. I think the developers are testing us to see what our nerves can hold. Because it is not possible for every update to be more of a downgrade.
They also ignore our problems and fix something that no one reported.

 

Which of UA is the best? There is too many possible choises

Here's my latest JSON file for this extension. Import and type "All" in Domain just choose MX7 as default/ Permanent spoof. Remember to modify the Windows NT number depending on your version of Windows (see here https://forum.maxthon.com/index.php?/topic/25261-mx-7-mx-6-mx-5-updated-user-agent/

Hi MichaelC362, noted on this. Do send us the crash report if you were to experience similar error again.

Hi Ben.L.Salomon, would like to seek your understanding as we have lesser developers now and they have been working hard to resolve all issues found or reported by users. We are receiving feedbacks and suggestions from other portals as well other than this forum; which explains why some fixes are done when it is not reported in here. I have already reported the skyshowtime and netflix issue to the developers but they would require more time to look into it. Rest assured that they will check on the bugs reported and we appreciate your patience and understanding on this.

Hello!

Today, had a repeat of yesterday - when I opened Maxthon, it briefly flashed a white background & exited, with no error... Upon relaunching, I was signed out & despite repeated attempts, it wouldn't let me sign in again (no error).  At one point, there were 35 Maxthon processes running!  The entries under Passkeeper were still present for website & username, but all had lost the passwords. A reinstall over top didn't help, but performing a complete uninstall, via HiBit Uninstaller, removing all registry + file traces & then reinstalling the latest beta allowed me to signin ok.  After syncing finished (doesn't keep theme, some QA or Secure DNS settings), I was back up ok.  Can't really have it doing this every day!

Here's a picture of the bookmark bar issue, where it shows Import bookmarks, when Show bookmark bar is disabled:

Hi MichaelC362, are you able to record a short video on this issue?

Hi MichaelC362, could you try not to use your user data or perhaps try using the portable version to see if all these issues still persist?

Hello!

It is as I said, so a video wouldn't help.

Today, 3rd day in a row, it did it again, so I've removed current beta via HiBit Uninstaller & installed Version7.0.0.3000 (64-bit) 0331... 

It runs ok all day long on the beta & I have to exit & reload to get the wallpaper to display (another bug?), but we'll see what happens tomorrow using the stable version, which previously worked as expected
