Q: I have been told to look for a file in my profile directory. So where are |
|
all my profile data stored? |
|
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
|

|
Q: I have bookmarked a page, the star icon is shining, but I cannot see |
|
the bookmark in the Menu or in the bookmark panel. Where do I find it? |
|
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
|
A: When you add a bookmark from the star icon, it is automatically added |
|
to unsorted bookmarks folder. You will find it only in the library (Ctrl+Shift+O). |
|
You can move the bookmark to other folder with the star icon or in the library. |

|
Q: I am getting a lot of SSL errors when visiting secured (https) pages. |
|
Also I cannot update EasyList. Why does this happen? |
|
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
|
A: Your system CA certificates list is probably too small or even missing. |
|
You can check this in SSL Manager (Tools ->Preferences -> Privacy -> SSL Manager). |
|
If this is your case, you have to download the ca-bundle.crt file from |
|
https://github.com/nowrep/QupZilla/tree/master/other/ca-bundle.crt. |
|
It contains certificates from Debian's ca-certificates package and I am |
|
trying to update it as soon as it is updated in the Debian repository. |
|
|
|
After downloading this file, you may put it into $yourprofile/certificates/ |
|
directory or in some other place. But then you have to add a new certificate |
|
path in the SSL Manager (last tab - settings). |
|
|
|
|
|
Q: I cannot save any bookmark and my history is empty. What should I do? |
|
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
|
A: At first, please check that you have installed the Qt SQLite plugin. |
|
On Debian, this package is called libqt4-sql-sqlite. |
|
If you have it installed and you are still experiencing this issue, |
|
please run QupZilla from a terminal window and have a look at the output. |
|
If it contains something like |
|
|
|
QSqlQuery::value: not positioned on a valid record |
|
QSqlQuery::value: not positioned on a valid record |
|
|
|
it seems that your profile database is broken. You can check it by some |
|
SQLite database viewer. If the database is empty, then you can recover |
|
it by copying |
|
Windows: Program Files/QupZilla/data/profiles/default/browsedata.db |
|
Unix: /usr/share/qupzilla/data/profiles/default/browsedata.db |
|
into your profile directory. |
|
If it doesn't help, please open an issue. |

|
Q: QupZilla is using a lot % of my CPU. What can I do to cool it down? |
|
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
|
A: Well, the problem with using excessive amount of processor time is very likely |
|
caused by some flash content running in the browser (most likely bad coded |
|
adverts). You have 3 options to solve this: |
|
|
|
1) Completely disable Flash in preferences (Browsing -> Web Configuration -> |
|
Enable Plugins (Flash plugin) |
|
2) Use the Click2Flash plugin (Preferences -> Plugins -> WebKit plugins -> |
|
Enable Click2Flash). You will now have to manually start every flash content |
|
on a specific site. |
|
3) Use AdBlock to filter adverts. Menu Tools -> AdBlock -> Enable AdBlock. |
|
Before using AdBlock, you will have to update filters by clicking the |
|
Update Filters button. |

|
Q: When I add or edit my Search Engines and restart QupZilla, the changes won't stay. |
|
What's wrong? |
|
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
|
A: If you are using your own builds from git, you have probably an old version of |
|
the profile database file. The easiest way to upgrade your database is to edit |
|
the version file in your profile. Open it with some text editor and change |
|
1.0.0-rc1 (or whatever you have in it) to 1.0.0 and restart QupZilla. |
|
Your database should now be updated and changes won't be discarded on every |
|
restart anymore. |
|
|
|
|
|
Q: I have heard that QupZilla supports importing bookmarks from other browsers, but |
|
I can't find this feature anywhere. |
|
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
|
A: This feature has been added in version 1.0.0-rc1. If you are using older version, |
|
please upgrade it either by downloading installable packages from github or from |
|
your distributions repository. |
|
Then you will find the Import Bookmarks option in Menu File -> Import Bookmarks... |
|
The importing wizard will then guide you through the importing process. |
|
|
|
Q: Site xyz offers less features in QupZilla than in other browser, is it possbile to |
|
change User Agent? |
|
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
|
A: You can change User Agent in QupZilla, but it is not possible from Preferences. |
|
You need to manually edit settings.ini file in your profile directory. |
|
Open settings.ini in your favourite text editor and find line with: |
|
[Web-Browser-Settings] |
|
|
|
and append to next line this: UserAgent=YourUserAgent version 0.1.2.3 /Linux |
|
So it will look something like that: |
|
|
|
[Web-Browser-Settings] |
|
UserAgent=YourUserAgent version 0.1.2.3 /Linux |
|
allowFlash=true |
|
... |
|
|
|
Q: I have started QupZilla, but it looks very different from screenshots (very ugly!). |
|
I cannot find option to change themes nor language in preferences. |
|
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
|
A: You have probably downloaded tarball for other Linux distributions and executed |
|
QupZilla from it. |
|
You need to move files from /usr/share/qupzilla directory in tarball to (probably) |
|
/usr/share/qupzilla directory in your system. The exact path can be found directly |
|
from QupZilla: Menu Help -> Informations about application -> Paths -> Data |
|
After restart, it should be ok now. |
|
|
|
If you are not using tarball for other Linux distributions, didn't you forget to run |
|
make install? |
|
|
|
Q: I have successfully compiled QupZilla on FreeBSD, but when I tried to run it, only |
|
blank window appeared. Is QupZilla incompatible with FreeBSD? |
|
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
|
A: There is problem with raster graphics system on FreeBSD with (probably) NVIDIA drivers. |
|
You can workaround it by running QupZilla with native graphics system: |
|
qupzilla -graphicssystem native |
|
but running with native graphics system is very slow. |
|
|
|
To fix this issue, you have to set 3 sysctls: |
|
kern.ipc.shmmax=67108864 |
|
kern.ipc.shmall=32768 |
|
kern.ipc.shm_allow_removed=1 |
|
|
|
You can do it by |
|
a) put them in /etc/sysctl.conf and run '/etc/rc.d/sysctl restart' |
|
b) set them manually with |
|
'sysctl kern.ipc.shmmax=67108864' |
|
'sysctl kern.ipc.shmall=32768' |
|
'sysctl kern.ipc.shm_allow_removed=1' |
|
commands (without ' of course)
