hello,
( i m french so my english is not perfect )
can i install firefox plugin on kmeleon ?
with a tweak ?

thanks

unfortunately straight from the box, firefox extensions will not work into kmeleon.
mainly there's a manifest file that has to renamed and edited to suit kmeleon...and a macro to launch that extension from a menu or toolbar button

in the end it all depends on the extension itself.. some extensions may never work with kmeleon because they work through sidebars and/or browser overlays that can only function in firefox. other extensions will work right away with the proper manifest.

if you want certain extensions, then please list them here so we can tell you what may work or not.

also look at alain aupiex's extensions page, which already has a lot of extensions that were already ported for kmeleon:

if you need the adblockplus extension, there is indeed a version for kmeleon

p.s. il n'ya pas un problem avec votre anglais mais a les kmeleon forums; nous parlons globish anche vouz peux demander vos questions en francais perche quelqons users parlano en francais

1.) this is the international forum - we only speak English when we need many answerers

2.) Additional to desga2's info about what tweaks are possible for extensions.

You can install/use all Netscape plugins (they are supported by all browsers except IE and IE shells).

No. Automatic install of extensions or plugins via xpi is not wanted.
It would be prevented from the Firefox installer service (if this project had used the Firefox installer service).

Quote
Mozilla.org
Every extension must provide an install.rdf file which contains metadata about the extension, such as its unique ID, version, author, and compatibility information.

The installer service checks application and version.

This part of the .rf made the example only installable in:

<!-- human readable comment -->
(unique application identification and version number are bold)
