My question is like the title implies, is there an easy way to do that?

A dialog would be cool, if not a makeshift solution would be to prompt the preferences window at first launch - one of the pages has a 'make k-meleon default browser' button which works well.

Any ideas?

If you use an official installer, not the portable 7z version, you should be able to do at install time.

Otherwise, or with the Goanna version (if it hasn't been removed), you could do this by going to the preference panel, Browsing (default pane view) and at the right side you have a button to do it.

I use my own installer, ie. a repack.

I'm aware of the Preferences page, is it possible to prompt the user with this page upon first run?

The URL of that pref window is: chrome://kmprefs/content/pref.xul?browsing
Open it with your installer somehow, or open KM with URL in commandline, example:
"C:\Program Files\K-Meleon\k-meleon.exe" chrome://kmprefs/content/pref.xul?browsing

Yeah, with a macro and readreg function:

You could read the HKCR (HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT) for the html file and/or HTTP protocol Windows registry values and check if K-meleon is the default to open them, and run it at $OnStartup event global variable.

Is not after install, but if you plan to deploy or just as a checker, a macro to check it:

Find the last 1.8 build and look there.

Can you kindly provide example script if not too much bother?
I assume I save it as .kmm and place it in macros folder?

cheers

Read the other message above, I posted a macro extension.

Thankyou Both siria and JohnHell. I missed your posts, both solutions work great.
