- it won't be in Preferences for now, as changing user agent is really not the thing that every user should do. If you don't know what are you doing, you can get unexpected behaviour on some sites. So you have to edit settings.ini file in your profile directory. More informations at FAQ (last question)

Q: I have been told to look for a file in my profile directory. So where is
|
|
all my profile data stored?
|
|
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
A: Please select the menu entry Help -> Informations about application and then
|
|
scroll to the Paths section.
|
|
|
|
|
|
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 in the star icon or in the library.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Q: I am getting a lot of SSL errors when visiting secured (https) pages.
|
|
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
|
|
...
