K-Meleon Web Browser Forum
I've got NPSWF32_25_0_0_148.dll in a plugins folder. Not sure if Flipboard.com uses flash or not but I'm just getting a blank page (Win XP 512 RAM). Flipboard works on same computer with Firefox portable. So I'm thinking I should be able to get it in K Meleon..?
Any suggestions welcome.
- edit - updated flash plugin but same blank screen :O

You don't need flash to view Flipboard.com.
I've tested Flipboard.com with K-Meleon 76RC2 on Win7 and it works.
With K-Meleon 75.1 I also got only a blank page.
Thank you so much. It's working great with WinXp.. faster than firefox 38 and easy to switch images on and off. Much appreciated.
I like this browser. Am wondering if it's easy to import bookmarks and other browser settings from 75.1 to 76RC2?
You can copy your bookmarks.html from the old "Profiles" subfolder into the new one.
For a complete migration of all settings, maybe someone else can give you better advises than me, since excepting for bookmarks.html, (my own) user.js and (my own) search.xml, I prefer always a clean install for new major releases.
Thank you. I was tempted to try by trial and error but thought I might mess it up. I will try the items you suggest and nothing more. Makes sense, since they are different version #s... not to just copy the entire folder!
You can always test with separate parallel profiles, not just one.
Edit > Manage Profiles > Ask at startup
Then at next startup click on New Profile.
Find the folder by clicking on Edit > Configuration > Profile directory.
Then just copy over the whole contents of your old profile and restart.
No danger - if there's any prob, just choose the first (clean) profile again after another restart.
Thanks for the tip. Because this particular machine is only 512mb ram I'm really trying to keep this installation as light as possible. I have another old computer that has about 1.5 gb ram. I plan to use this newer browser on it too. So maybe I'll give it a try then!
I spent a little time and got the 512 computer set up nicely. Once again... K-Meleon helps me to recycle instead of buying overpriced hardware!
