Can't download with Midori?

Hey everyone!

I recently found out about the Midori browser and more or less fell in love with it since my FF was getting just too slow. Things were working great except for a random crash every now and then, I thought. Until now that I notice that Midori can't download anything. Is there some dependency that slipped through or anything? I use wget as my download manager right now which... works, but I'd rather use Midoris own.

Any ideas?

Midori doesn't have its own download manager; you have to set one yourself. There's more information on that here.

Hm, okay. In that case I'll just stick to wget. Is it possible to add bookmarks though? I can't seem to do that.

Edit: Never mind, had to reset the browser.

Edit2: How do you remove a bookmark? I can't seem to be able to. :S

Midori is still very early in development. If you want my advice you should be using Epiphany http://www.gnome.org/projects/epiphany/. Its small, fast and is much more mature (read: stable) then Midori.

Oh yes, I know that Midori is more or less alpha software. But, I'm really liking it except for this nuisance with the bookmarks and downloads. Deleting the bookmarks-file worked to reset my bookmarks anyhow.

Also, I'm running a rather light desktop without any GNOME or KDE librarys, the install for Epiphany was rather huge so that's why I'm not running that.

Thanks for the suggestion though.

You can also try Arora, which is more mature/stable than Midori, equally fast or faster, but it still has the usual backend limitations: No flash (it will come together with QT 4.5), requires QT4.4 (no static builds yet).
