K-Meleon Web Browser Forum
Can anyone please tell me which version of Firefox corresponds to K-Meleon 1.5.3? I been getting the run-around by Google!
If I'm right, the Mozilla engine was 1.8.1.21, that belongs to Firefox 3.6.
The download page says gecko 1.8.1.21, but when I open my old installation the useragent shown in Menu>Help is:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.8.1.23) Gecko/20090825 K-Meleon/1.5.3
Could well be that the gecko engine inside was updated some time later, that was usual at the time.
According to this list gecko 1.8.1 is Firefox 2 (!!)
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Gecko/Versions
But why in the world do you want to use such a horribly obsolete version?? I'm not usually someone nagging others to update everything :cool: but even on win98 KM1.6 (gecko FF3.5) can be used! Okay, only after some OS updates and KernelEx, that's a bit tricky. But at the very least would try KM1.5.4, that still runs natively on w98 and contains some bugfixes and other updates.
I have found some UA with gecko 1.8.1.20, 1.8.1.21 and 1.8.1.24 related to FF 3.6, and also 1.9.2 and 1.9.3pre:

UA 1.8.1.21 for FF 3.6: http://www.useragentstring.com/index.php?id=15488
:mad:
LOL!
Of course KM-users are not the only ones using fake Useragents to avoid those nasty "outdated browser" barriers on certain pages
But KM1.6 always was a sibling of FF3.5, and KM1.7 of FF3.6
LOL! I didn't think about that! Very good answer!
