K-meleon doesn't store bookmarks in places.sqlite, therefore, it can't find bookmarks when typing in the URL bar. K-meleon stores Netscape Bookmarks as always was till a few of versions of Firefox, this is, using bookmarks.html file in profile folder.
I'm not sure how long ago Firefox changed that, because when I was using FF 15, bookmarks.html didn't exist unless it was created by exporting the bookmarks to an HTML file. Automatic bookmark backups, on the other hand, were .json files. I found out quite by accident that the bookmarks themselves were stored in places.sqlite, because one day all my bookmarks vanished, and when looking at my backed up profile, I noticed a big difference in the size of places.sqlite. When I restored that file from backup, all my bookmarks reappeared. Apparently places.sqlite had gotten corrupted somehow.
I'm glad that Dorian has continued with Netscape's old standard, which is much easier to maintain. BTW, there was a problem with Netscape's bookmarks when I used to run NS eons ago. If the browser was accidentally closed while the bookmarks window was still open, NS created a new, empty bookmarks.html file, and if it hadn't been backed up, all the bookmarks had to be re-created one at a time. :mad: At least KM issues a warning if the bookmarks editor is closed without confirming the changes.
