Hello!
Upgraded to 7.1.6.1800 beta this morning, manually shut down running Maxthon at start of installer, when complete, Maxthon loaded with my 8 tabs I have set to load at startup, but, all of them just said, "Untitled" in the tab description & none of them loaded until I went to each & refreshed the page.

Hi MichaelC362, could you disable all extensions and relaunch the browser to see if this issue persist?

It only did it on the first load - afterwards & today it was ok, however, when I next upgrade, I can try that first.
I have uBlock Origin, DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials & Webroot's Web Threat Shield (that last one not by choice!).
These are quite popular extensions, so are you saying Maxthon has issues with (some?) extensions?

Hi MichaelC362, there's a possibility that some interference occurred between a certain extension and the loading of websites / certain features. Which is why we usually advise user to disable all extensions and try again before determining if it is a bug.

I should say, it didn't do this on any previous upgrade, with the same tabs set to load at startup & with those same extensions present & running

I should also report that the download manager still shows occasional duplicate entries, which are not removed when clearing the list, implying cache issues (which has been cleared & didn't help).
It's done this since Maxthon v6 was first released & is been reported every few releases.
It happens on different computers, with different versions & releases of Windows & with different extensions (I always have an ad-blocker (previously Ad-Block Plus, then Ad-Guard & now uBlock Origin), ever since you removed the built-in Ad-Block Plus).

When downloading ".exe" installers, most (but not all) also still don't have the program icon, but instead either my user icon or just a blank icon - this has also been an issue since v6 first released.

Another (maybe) issue, I goto softpedia.com (I see this on other sites too) most days to download updated versions of various programs & each day, when I first goto the site, I'm prompted for cookie action (e.g. allow all/custom/etc), separately for Windows, Linux & macOS (i.e. if downloading a Windows program, prompted for first, but no others after, but if then downloading a macOS program, prompted again (& again if Linux))... this could be related to one or a combination of my extensions, but I see it both at work & at home... I'll try disabling the extensions, one by one, & see if that helps & report back

Hi MichaelC362, noted on this. In case if it happens again, do let us know and I will get the development team to check on it.

Thanks MichaelC362, I have tried accessing the website but wasn't prompted for cookie action; neither when downloading. In case same thing happens after you disable the extensions, do let us know and we will perform further testing to check.

Requesting MX team again: Please make bookmarks menu scroll horizontally (left to right).

Please.

 

Yes.

This is very important for those that have so many bookmarks

It's a lot easier and more convenient 
At least you make it an option so that those that don't like it could easily uncheck it

Absolutely right! I wrote about this a long time ago, but they still haven’t done it like in the 5th version.

Hi thereddevilrulez @Mhzayer @UserMx5, I have already put in request for this feature. I have also checked with the developers and it seems like the current chromium version only support scrolling vertically; once core could support the horizontal scrolling, this feature will definitely be added in.

Hi n3ujx, may I know for which files are you experiencing this issue? Could you specify the website and files so we could do further testing?

Hi user666777, are you using the latest 7.1.6.1800 version? Could you clear the browsing data cache and try again?

There is a download speed problem in general, I noticed that I do not have any download speed problems with IDM or different browsers.

Hi user666777, could you help to record a short video on this issue so I could forward it to the development team for them to check on it further.

Hi n3ujx, did you experience the speed problem only in this version?

Hello!
Am I missing it or have you removed 'reader mode', whereby only the content (i.e. no menus, adverts, sundry tat, etc) is shown for easier reading and/or printing!?
I just don't understand why, if you have a useful feature, you replace it with something no-one's ever asked for or wanted!
I understand the limitations of using Chromium (albeit one that even Noah would have found out-of-date & not taken with him on The Ark!), but that's just the browser engine, Maxthon sits on top of that, so you can add whatever you like & once there, unless mass-requested to remove it, leave it there!

On Quick Launch settings, under Wallpaper, Foreground/Background Color (spelt wrong for UK English), if set to Automatic, it seems the colour is applied to all & it doesn't detect what's under that section & colour accordingly - e.g. picture with dark top & light bottom, the highlights should invert for one.

I've used Maxthon, almost daily, since it was first released, but according to your 'gold coins' I never use it for more than 5 days at a time & therefore the counter is reset every week.  I have a work account & a personal account, so despite most weeks running it daily, that isn't reflected.  The coins seem like a pointless waste of space to me (& I suspect most others too), but you should be recording how many loads/sessions are used, NOT consecutive days.  Suppose someone has built up a huge number of coins & then goes to a wedding or funeral, then the next day they have nothing again - this is just alienating users against the feature, however good your intentions were.

Hello!
Would be appreciated if the MaxNote shortcuts, that I'm never going to use (I'll access from Maxton menus if need it) could be prompted (default "NO") during installation.
Every time I install a new Maxthon release, I've now got 2 shortcuts to delete that I didn't have before...
It's not that it takes a long time, it's just annoying!

Hi n3ujx, did you do a clean install for the new version and do you have any extensions in place?

Hi MichaelC362, the development team is trying to optimize this feature and it will be released later on.

Could you send a screenshot to me so I could point it out to the product team?

Hi BugSir009 - here is video, now u can move this issue into latest version 7.1.6.2000 as well. I noticed something. If i press back, there is opened another webpage with redirecting. But this issue was made by updating maxthon to version 1800 from previous. No other updates was installed the same day (including windows)

Also please check if there is/is not icon on desktop. And if there is no icon then don't create it.

As well uncheck FREE VPN installation during installation of Maxthon. This cheat to force users to use third parties programs is degrading and dehonesting the real program i am installing.
