Replace unmaintained docs with FAQ from the wiki Realistically nobody maintains offline documentation and none of the people claiming to look into it ever did, whereas the FAQ is being updated by or with input from individuals. faq.html was copied from http://wiki.xfce.org/_export/xhtml/midori/faq and all <link rel="stylesheet"> tags were replaced with <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="faq.css" />.

<p>
Midori is a Web Browser, that aims to be lightweight and fast. It aligns well with the Xfce philosophy of making the most out of available resources.

<div class="level4">
<p>
Pronounce it “midoɺi”, with a Spanish/ Japanese “r” or “Mee-Doh-Ree” in English or read it Italian. The name comes from the Japanese word 緑 (みどり) for the colour “green”.

The paw of a green cat. Obviously. Also it resembles the letter “M” in “Midori”. The curving is supposed to emphasize speed.

Because they discriminate against your browser. Go to Preferences &gt; Network &gt; Identify As, and choose Safari.
Many other websites use similar means of detecting the browser.

<div class="level4">
<p>
The set of themed icons Midori can use is very limited. For instance icons for a new tab or the throbber are not guaranteed to be available. To fix this, install a Freedesktop.org <acronym title="specification">spec</acronym> compliant icon theme, such as Tango or Gnome, or one that is compatible with these.

<h4><a name="tweaking_midori_on_the_gtk_level" id="tweaking_midori_on_the_gtk_level">Tweaking Midori on the Gtk level</a></h4>
<div class="level4">
<p>
If you don&#039;t have a desktop application that takes care of Gtk settings or if your interface doesn&#039;t support a particular feature, you can modify any settings easily manually by specifying them in a text file called ~/.gtkrc-2.0 or /etc/gtk-2.0/gtkrc:
</p>
<p>
Use Tango as a fallback for your icon theme:
</p>
<pre class="code">gtk-icon-theme-name = &quot;MySuperFancyTheme&quot;
gtk-fallback-icon-theme = &quot;Tango&quot;</pre>
<p>
Use a smaller toolbar:
</p>
<pre class="code">gtk-toolbar-icon-size = GTK_ICON_SIZE_SMALL_TOOLBAR</pre>
<p>
Enable changing hotkeys while hovering menu items:
</p>
<pre class="code">gtk-can-change-accels = 1</pre>

There appears to be an issue with Glib 2.16. The recommended solution is to upgrade your Glib package to 2.18.

You need to set MOZ_PLUGIN_PATH, for example like this:
</p>
<pre class="code bash"><span class="kw3">export</span> <span class="re2">MOZ_PLUGIN_PATH</span>=<span class="st0">&quot;/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins&quot;</span></pre>
<p>
The official Flash plugin is called libflashplayer.so .
</p>
<p>
You can either run that above line and run Midori in the same terminal afterwards or, for the long term, put it in ~/.bash_profile or /etc/profile.d or your respective distribution&#039;s place for this.

Try searching for a package named nspluginwrapper or similar in your distribution repositories. It implements plugins in their own process so they can&#039;t drag down the whole browser.
</p>
</div>
<h4><a name="https_urls_won_t_load" id="https_urls_won_t_load">HTTPS URLS won&#039;t load</a></h4>

<p>
That&#039;s a problem with WebKit. You can work around it to some extent if you start Midori like so:
</p>
<pre class="code bash"><span class="kw3">export</span> <span class="re2">WEBKIT_IGNORE_SSL_ERRORS</span>=<span class="st0">&quot;1&quot;</span> midori</pre>
</div>
<h4><a name="javascript_popup_windows" id="javascript_popup_windows">Javascript Popup windows</a></h4>
<div class="level4">
<p>
By default, Midori blocks all popup windows that openen on their own. With WebKitGTK+ 1.1.11 or higher, you can use a hidden setting to enable these windows.
</p>
<ol>
<li class="level1"><div class="li"> Quit Midori</div>
</li>
<li class="level1"><div class="li"> Open the file ~/.config/midori/config</div>

<p>
Java is supported in WebKitGTK+ since 1.1.22. If you need Java, you need to upgrade to at least that version. Sun/ Oracle Java as well as IcedTea are known to work. Distribution specific setup might be required, such as setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH to include the location of libxul.so and making a symbolic link for libnpjp2.so to /usr/lib/mozilla.
</p>
<p>
icedtea6 version 1.8 and above has been known to crash midori. If this is the case for you, try sun-jre.

<div class="level4">
<p>
Currently only <acronym title="Hyper Text Transfer Protocol">HTTP</acronym> proxy servers are supported directly. A way to use SOCKS on Unix is to use tsocks with <acronym title="Secure Shell">SSH</acronym> as follows:
</p>
<ol>
<li class="level1"><div class="li"> Install &#039;tsocks&#039;</div>
</li>
<li class="level1"><div class="li"> Open /etc/tsocks.conf in an editor</div>
</li>
<li class="level1"><div class="li"> Type something like this, you can choose the port freely: <pre class="code">server = 127.0.0.1
server_type = 5
server_port = 5555</pre>
</div>
</li>
<li class="level1"><div class="li"> Open an <acronym title="Secure Shell">SSH</acronym> connection with the same port: <pre class="code"> ssh -D localhost:5555 myhost.com </pre>
</div>
</li>
<li class="level1"><div class="li"> Run Midori with “tsocks” in front of it: <pre class="code"> tsocks midori </pre>
</div>
</li>
<li class="level1"><div class="li"> Now you can use for example <a href="http://www.whatsmyip.org/" class="urlextern" title="http://www.whatsmyip.org/" rel="nofollow">http://www.whatsmyip.org/</a> to verify that you are using a SOCKS connection. The IP address should match the one of your <acronym title="Secure Shell">SSH</acronym> host. Remember to keep the <acronym title="Secure Shell">SSH</acronym> login running, and don&#039;t suspend it, otherwise it won&#039;t work.</div>
</li>
<li class="level1"><div class="li"> If the connection fails for some reason, you should see a connection error.</div>
</li>
</ol>

<h4><a name="how_do_i_get_rid_of_the_menubar" id="how_do_i_get_rid_of_the_menubar">How do I get rid of the menubar?</a></h4>
<div class="level4">
<p>
In the menubar, go to View → Toolbars → Menubar, voilà the menubar is gone and a new icon appears at the right end of the toolbar. Click the icon to access functionality that otherwise sits in the menubar.
Midori 0.3.2 disables the menubar by default.

<div class="level4">
<p>
Midori tries to make a smart guess on whether you are searching for something or typing a valid address by hand. Yet there are ambiguous cases so it fails.
</p>
<p>
Try using &#039;g&#039; in front of the search terms, like &#039;g Ms.Marple&#039;. The &#039;g&#039; is a token that tells the browser you want to use Google. See Tools &gt; Manage Search Engines or right-click the location bar and select the menu item, to look at search engines and tokens.

Midori opens files with GIO, and falls back to xdg-open, exo-open or gnome-open if these are available. All of this relies on freedesktop.org <acronym title="Multipurpose Internet Mail Extension">MIME</acronym> configuration. To tweak this there are multiple options:
</p>
<ol>
<li class="level1"><div class="li"> Use &#039;Open With&#039; with a graphical file manager</div>
</li>
<li class="level1"><div class="li"> Edit ~/.local/share/applications/defaults.list with a text editor</div>
</li>
<li class="level1"><div class="li"> Run something like ‘xdg-mime default evince.desktop application/pdf’</div>
</li>
</ol>
<p>
xdg-open knows how to handle GNOME, KDE and Xfce.
LXDE is unfortunately not supported yet, see <a href="https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=26058" class="urlextern" title="https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=26058" rel="nofollow">https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=26058</a>

As of git 2011-03-05 02:40:00 UTC and Midori 0.3.3 you can
</p>
<p>
Add a line to ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list:
</p>
<pre class="code"> x-scheme-handler/magnet=transmission-gtk.desktop</pre>
<p>
Or install an application which advertises the scheme like so:
</p>
<pre class="code"> MimeType=x-scheme-handler/magnet;</pre>
<p>
Note that incomplete .desktop files will silently fail and it will look as if it doesn&#039;t exist.

There are two closely related features to open websites as dedicated windows of their own. You can do the following to use them:
</p>
<ol>
<li class="level1"><div class="li"> File (or Globe button) → Private Browsing</div>
</li>
<li class="level1"><div class="li"> Right-click a hyperlink → Open as Web Application</div>

<p>
You can also add options such as ‘-e Fullscreen’, ‘-e Navigationbar’ or ‘-e Statusbar’ (as of Midori 0.2.9 ‘midori –help-execute will list all available commands’)
</p>
<p>
A window like this is always a separate process, so crashes don&#039;t affect the normal browser session. No sensitive data such as cookies, history or bookmarks are stored. No extensions are loaded. Panels are not available.
</p>
<p>
As of Midori 0.2.9 Private Browsing uses preferences, cookies, keyboard shortcuts and search engines from the normal session, but it won&#039;t save any changes. This behaviour can be emulated from the command line with ”-a” and ”-c”.

By running a local proxy you can modify web content even before it has reached Midori. That allows you to do things similar to what user scripts and user styles provide and even others that neither is suitable for.
</p>
<p>
To use Midori with a proxy server, there are two options:
</p>
<ol>
<li class="level1"><div class="li"> WebKit is built with libcurl. Define an environment variable http_proxy and set it to your proxy server like so:</div>

<div class="level2">
<p>
Midori has a Mouse Gestures extension (since git 2009-01-21).
</p>
<p>
As of 0.2.5 the right button initiates gestures.
</p>
<p>
You can change the button using a hidden option:
</p>
<ol>
<li class="level1"><div class="li"> Create a text file ~/.config/midori/extensions/libmouse-gestures.so/config .</div>
</li>
<li class="level1"><div class="li"> Type the following in there:</div>
</li>
</ol>
<pre class="code"> [settings]
button=2</pre>
<p>
For a quick and dirty overview of the gestures in the current release take a look at the <a href="http://www.matthiaskruk.de/midori/mouse-gestures.pdf" class="urlextern" title="http://www.matthiaskruk.de/midori/mouse-gestures.pdf" rel="nofollow">preliminary manual</a>.

UserScripts are scripts applied on some, or on all web pages. They can modify pages locally to add or alter functionality. That includes fixing bugs in web pages. User scripts are also available in other browsers, in the form of <a href="http://www.greasespot.net" class="urlextern" title="http://www.greasespot.net" rel="nofollow">Mozilla&#039;s Greasemonkey</a> or <a href="http://www.opera.com/support/tutorials/userjs/" class="urlextern" title="http://www.opera.com/support/tutorials/userjs/" rel="nofollow">Opera&#039;s User JavaScript</a>.

First, you need to find some scripts (or write your own). You can find some at <a href="http://userscripts.org/" class="urlextern" title="http://userscripts.org/" rel="nofollow">userscripts.org</a>. As explained previously, a lot of scripts work, while others do not work.
</p>
<p>
To install a userscript, you have to download the script as a file, and put it in the following directory <strong>~/.local/share/midori/scripts</strong> (you may need to create that directory if it does not exist). Midori will automatically see and use it, which you can also see in the user scripts panel.
</p>
<p>
Note, if the script is only shown as source code on the page, you first have to create a new text file in a text editor, copy the source code into the new file, and save it as my-user-script.js where ”.js” is the extension.
