<h4 id="what_is_midori_and_why_should_i_use_it">What is &quot;Midori&quot; and why should I use it?</h4>
<div class="level4">
<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. It has a customizable interface using the GTK+ toolkit.
</p>
</div>
<h4 id="how_to_pronounce_midori_and_what_does_the_name_mean">How to pronounce Midori and what does the name mean?</h4>
<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”.
</p>
</div>
<h4 id="what_does_the_logo_mean">What does the logo mean?</h4>
<div class="level4">
<p>
The paw of a green cat. Obviously. Also it resembles the letter “M” in “Midori”. The curving is supposed to emphasize speed.
</p>
</div>
<h4 id="on_which_platforms_does_midori_run_currently">On which platforms does Midori run currently?</h4>
<div class="level4">
<p>
Midori is portable and should run on all platforms that its dependencies support. Releases exist on various Linux distributions, for Windows versions prior to 8.1 (for now), and BSD.
</p>

Some websites give up if they don&#039;t recognize your browser as Chrome, Firefox, <abbr title="Internet Explorer">IE</abbr>, etc.
</p>
<p>
You can change the browser name sent to web sites at Preferences &gt; Network &gt; Identify As
</p>
<p>
Either choose a predefined user-agent or choose Custom and find a suitable string in <a href="http://useragentstring.com/pages/useragentstring.php" class="urlextern" title="http://useragentstring.com/pages/useragentstring.php" rel="nofollow">a list</a>.
</p>
<p>
Many other websites use similar means of detecting the browser.
</p>
<p>
Google <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20100625211333/http://code.google.com/p/doctype/wiki/ArticleGoogleChromeCompatFAQ" class="urlextern" title="http://web.archive.org/web/20100625211333/http://code.google.com/p/doctype/wiki/ArticleGoogleChromeCompatFAQ" rel="nofollow">previously recommended</a> the superior practice for website creators of checking which features are present rather than browser name/version, but has since weakened this stance with their browser&#039;s growing market share.
</p>
</div>
<h4 id="there_are_missing_iconswarnings">There are missing icons/ warnings</h4>
<div class="level4">
<p>
Midori uses a wide variety of icons which may not be present in all themes. For instance icons for a new tab, to represent scripts, or the throbber may not available. To fix this, install a Freedesktop.org <abbr title="specification">spec</abbr> compliant icon theme, such as Elementary, Faenza, Buuf or GNOME.
</p>
<p>
if you need to set a custom path for these to be “searched in” (Kiosks and embedded devices for example):
</p>
<p>
XDG_DATA_HOME=/path/to/location
</p>
<p>
will add an extra path for the icons/… directory
</p>
<p>
In addition, GTK3 may remove icons from menus. This may be changed by placing
</p>
<pre class="code">gtk-menu-images=true</pre>
<p>
in the file ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini
</p>
</div>
<h4 id="tweaking_midori_on_the_gtk_level">Tweaking Midori on the Gtk level</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>
Only for those not running a complete DE like Xfce, Elementary, etc…<br/>
There is a preference: Preferences → Browsing → Toolbar Style: Small icons
</p>
<p>
Enable changing hotkeys while hovering menu items:
</p>
<pre class="code">gtk-can-change-accels = 1</pre>
</div>
<h4 id="disable_middle_click_pasting">Disable middle click pasting</h4>
<div class="level4">
<p>
As of GTK+ &gt;= 3.4 one can disable it globally in ~/.gtkrc-2.0
</p>
<pre class="code">gtk-enable-primary-paste = 0</pre>
<p>
Otherwise by adding a line to ~/.config/midori/config
</p>
<pre class="code">middle-click-opens-selection=false</pre>

<h4 id="midori_crashes_shortly_before_pages_are_loaded">Midori crashes shortly before pages are loaded</h4>
<div class="level4">
<p>
There appears to be an issue with Glib 2.16. The recommended solution is to upgrade your Glib package to 2.18.
</p>
</div>
<h4 id="how_can_i_change_the_cache_folder_to_tmpfs">How can I change the cache folder (to tmpfs)?</h4>
<div class="level4">
<p>
On Linux and BSD, you can set XDG_CACHE_HOME for all applications, or just Midori. Midori saves icons and cache files in that location. The default is ~/.cache.
</p>
<p>
export XDG_CACHE_HOME=/dev/shm
</p>

<h4 id="hstshttp_strict_transport_security">HSTS/ HTTP Strict Transport Security</h4>
<div class="level4">
<p>
Midori &gt;= 0.4.7 automatically picks up the Strict-Transport-Security header and caches sites locally. By design, there&#039;s no UI. System administrators can however place a pre-loaded cache at /etc/xdg/midori/hsts.
</p>
</div>
<h4 id="certificate_handling">Certificate Handling</h4>
<div class="level4">
<p>
Midori uses the system&#039;s ca-certificates, the exact locations depend on the distribution.
</p>
<p>
Midori &gt;= 0.4.7 supports <a href="http://git.gnome.org/browse/gcr/tree/gcr" class="urlextern" title="http://git.gnome.org/browse/gcr/tree/gcr" rel="nofollow">gcr</a> for certificate display and management, you can click the lock in the urlbar to see detailed information. Earlier versions, or one without gcr will not handle certificates beyond the lock icon in the urlbar.

<div class="level5">
<p>
No key store is available or it&#039;s incorrectly setup. By default GNOME keyring can do this. Under Xfce it is recommended to enable “GNOME services” under “Session and Startup settings”. To make sure, that the output of “gnome-keyring –startup” is correctly sent to the environment, you can add “export `gnome-keyring-daemon –start`” to .xinitrc.

<h4 id="windows_support">Windows support</h4>
<div class="level4">
<p>
Starting with WebkitGTK+ 1.8.2 (Midori 0.4.7) Netscape plugins are now supported if they&#039;re installed in Application Data\Mozilla\plugins or bin\Plugins in Midori&#039;s folder (ie. NPSWF32.dll for Flash).
</p>
</div>
<h4 id="netscape_plugins_on_linux_bsd_and_os_x">Netscape plugins on Linux, BSD and OS X</h4>
<div class="level4">
<p>
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.
</p>
</div>
<h4 id="flash_is_crashingno_flash_with_gtk_3">Flash is crashing/ No Flash with GTK+3</h4>
<div class="level4">
<p>
nspluginwrapper is a program that runs Flash and other Netscape plugins in a separate process. So a crash can&#039;t crash the whole browser and Flash, which is GTK+2 can run in GTK+3.
</p>
<pre class="code bash"><span class="kw2">sudo</span> <span class="kw2">apt-get install</span> nspluginwrapper
<span class="co0"># On Debian/ Ubuntu - on other systems http://get.adobe.com/de/flashplayer/</span>
<span class="kw2">sudo</span> <span class="kw2">apt-get install</span> flashplugin-installer
<span class="co0"># cd into the folder where the plugin was installed</span>
nspluginwrapper <span class="re5">-v</span> <span class="re5">-a</span> <span class="re5">-n</span> <span class="re5">-i</span> libflashplayer.so</pre>
<p>
~/.mozilla can also be used with Adobe&#039;s tarball if system-wide install is not an option. The approach is confirmed to work with x86-64 as well.
</p>
<p>
Another remedy is using WebKit2 - starting with Midori 0.4.9 experimental support is available, <a href="https://trac.webkit.org/wiki/WebKitGTK/WebKit2Roadmap" class="urlextern" title="https://trac.webkit.org/wiki/WebKitGTK/WebKit2Roadmap" rel="nofollow">progress on WebKit2GTK+ can be seen in the WebKit wiki</a>.
</p>
</div>
<h4 id="https_urls_won_t_load">HTTPS URLS won&#039;t load</h4>
<div class="level4">
<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 id="bit_encryption_isn_t_supported">256-bit encryption isn&#039;t supported?</h4>
<div class="level4">
<p>
There&#039;s no official support right now.

<a href="#midori_architecture" title="midori:faq ↵" class="wikilink1">Midori uses GStreamer</a> for HTML5 audio and video support. Codecs, which handle particular formats of audio or video, are provided by GStreamer plugins which may need to be installed separately. Midori may be built with GTK+2 or GTK+3 (visit about:version to check), which correspond to GStreamer versions of 0.10 or 1.0 respectively.

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.

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.

Hold the Shift key while clicking Refresh in the toolbar (this works in Chromium, Mozilla, Opera and Safari, too).
Since Midori 0.3.2 you can use Ctrl+Shift+R.

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 MIME 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>

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>

A private window is 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”.
</p>

As of Midori 0.3.4 the –private command line switch opens a private browsing instance with normal preferences, cookies, shortcuts and search engines. But no changes will be saved.
<abbr title="Domain Name System">DNS</abbr> prefetching is disabled in this mode, also referrers are stripped down to the hostname when navigating between different websites.

There is no specific mode, instead you use several command line switches. A typical fullscreen setup with no toolbar that opens about:blank and resets the session after 2 minutes of inactivity for instance:
</p>
<pre class="code bash">midori <span class="re5">-i</span> <span class="nu0">120</span> <span class="re5">-e</span> Fullscreen <span class="re5">-e</span> Navigationbar <span class="re5">-a</span> about:blank</pre>
<p>
Available commands for -e can be listed with “midori –help-execute”.
</p>
<p>
If needed, a customized profile can be created with “midori -c /path/to/folder”. Using the shortcut editor extension, keyboard shortcuts can be removed as needed. Afterwards just append “-c /path/to/folder” to the kiosk mode command line.
</p>
<p>
To restrict pages that can be opened, you can use a regular expression. The expression is a blacklist. To block undesirable sites you can do something like:
</p>
<pre class="code bash"><span class="re5">-b</span> <span class="st_h">'youtube|youporn'</span></pre>
<p>
By negating the expression you can also whitelist pages.
</p>
<pre class="code bash"><span class="re5">-b</span> <span class="st_h">'^(?!.*?(gmail|mail\.google|accounts\.google)).*'</span></pre>

Now you need to find some scripts. You can find some at <a href="http://userscripts.org/" class="urlextern" title="http://userscripts.org/" rel="nofollow">userscripts.org</a>. Most scripts work fine, some may be written specifically for other browsers.
</p>
<p>
If you have Midori 0.3.0 or newer, you will be offered to install scripts as soon as you see them on the page.
</p>
<p>
To manually install a userscript, you have to download the script as a file, and put it in the folder <strong>~/.local/share/midori/scripts</strong>. You need to create that folder if it doesn&#039;t exist yet. Midori will automatically see and use it, which you can also see in the user scripts panel.
</p>
<p>
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.

As previously mentioned, Midori can use most scripts you will find. Midori supports Greasemonkey&#039;s <em>@include</em> and <em>@exclude</em> metadata so that scripts are only loaded on appropriate pages. Midori doesn&#039;t support advanced metadata, such as @require and @resource, so user scripts can&#039;t define dependencies on other scripts - most of the time this isn&#039;t a problem. Midori also does not support <a href="http://wiki.greasespot.net/API_reference" class="urlextern" title="http://wiki.greasespot.net/API_reference" rel="nofollow">Greasemonkey API</a>.

<h1 class="sectionedit21" id="midori_architecture">Midori Architecture</h1>
<div class="level1">
<p>
Midori stands on the shoulders of three giants in particular: the software libraries <a href="http://www.gtk.org/" class="urlextern" title="http://www.gtk.org/" rel="nofollow">GTK+</a>, <a href="http://webkitgtk.org/" class="urlextern" title="http://webkitgtk.org/" rel="nofollow">WebKitGTK+</a>, and <a href="https://developer.gnome.org/libsoup/" class="urlextern" title="https://developer.gnome.org/libsoup/" rel="nofollow">libsoup</a>. GTK+ provides the buttons, windows and menus, WebKitGTK+ draws and controls web pages, and libsoup downloads those pages.
</p>
<p>
WebKitGTK+ itself uses two other important libraries: <a href="https://www.webkit.org/projects/javascript/index.html" class="urlextern" title="https://www.webkit.org/projects/javascript/index.html" rel="nofollow">JavaScriptCore</a>, a WebKit project which runs scripts on web pages; and <a href="http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/" class="urlextern" title="http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/" rel="nofollow">GStreamer</a>, which plays HTML5 video and audio.
</p>

<!-- EDIT21 SECTION "Midori Architecture" [28088-28718] -->
<h2 class="sectionedit22" id="webkit_version_numbers">WebKit Version Numbers</h2>
<div class="level2">
<p>
WebKit is the core of the Midori browser, and it determines how web pages are rendered. Because WebKit is a complex piece of software and compatible with various libraries, its version numbers and naming schemes can at times be confusing.
</p>
<p>
WebKit itself is a library which works in many environments, such as Windows, <abbr title="Operating System">OS</abbr> X, and various Linux DE. There are different “ports”, one of which corresponds to each of these environments, and each of which is slightly different in bugs and features at any given time. The WebKit port used by Midori (because Midori is built with GTK+) is WebKitGTK+.
</p>
<p>
WebKitGTK+ can be compiled against either GTK+2 or GTK+3. This will result in library filenames like libwebkitgtk-1.0.so or libwebkitgtk-3.0.so, respectively. This has nothing to do with the version of WebKit itself.
</p>
<p>
WebKit has a “new <abbr title="Application Programming Interface">API</abbr> layer … designed from the ground up to support a split process model”–so pages can crash without the entire browser crashing. This layer is called WebKit2, and for WebKitGTK+ it requires building against GTK+3, producing a library file called libwebkit2gtk-3.0.so.
</p>
<p>
To find out the version of WebKitGTK+ your build of Midori is using, visit about:version.
</p>
</div>
<h4 id="version_number_interactions">Version Number Interactions</h4>
<div class="level4">
<p>
The WebKit2 <abbr title="Application Programming Interface">API</abbr> layer is available from fairly old WebKit versions through the present, but Midori&#039;s WebKit2 support requires version 2.0.0 or newer of WebKitGTK+. Current versions of WebKitGTK+ continue to support GTK+2 and GTK+3 (the latter since 1.4.x or so). As stated above, the WebKit2 <abbr title="Application Programming Interface">API</abbr> layer is only available with GTK+3.
</p>
<p>
Midori&#039;s support for WebKit2 is still provisional, and likely unsuitable for real-world daily usage; much work is being done in this area so that Midori can use WebKit2 by default at some point in the future.
