Thank you, Sven Bretfeld and Jeremy Maitin-Shepard, for your efforts. However, I am not a computer professional, and I am afraid that, as often happens when I post queries, I am out of my depth. In particular, I think you may have missed my statement that I am using the Firefox version of Conkeror, which (I have read) is no longer being maintained. I would like to install the standalone version, but I suspect I would need a lot of help; I only barely managed with the Firefox version, and the new version (to judge from the posted patches) is written in a language I do not even know the name of.

I presume that that will not be helpful in my case.
