How to open MURL file?

An often recurring problem with Maxthon Saved Uniform Resource Locator Format is that MURL is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file MURL to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the MURL file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.

Step 1. Install Maxthon Cloud Browser

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Maxthon Cloud Browser is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Maxthon Cloud Browser in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support MURL files.

Programs to open MURL file

Remember to download programs supporting MURL files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Maxthon Cloud Browser with MURL files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the MURL file still does not use the Maxthon Cloud Browser program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the MURL file with the Maxthon Cloud Browser program.

Step 3. Update Maxthon Cloud Browser to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Maxthon Cloud Browser program with the Maxthon Saved Uniform Resource Locator Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the MURL file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the MURL file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the MURL file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected MURL files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the MURL files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair MURL file corruption.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted MURL files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the MURL file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
