K-Meleon Web Browser Forum
Hello world,
I'm a new user of k-meleon (release 1.1), comming from firefox 2 (too much memory used by firefox => k-meleon is very very good for memory saving!)
I fail to resolve following point:
when clicking an URL in a word or an outlook document, URL is NOT opened by k-meleon. a new k-meleon window is actually launched, open homepage only, and the URL is opened in a firefox window.
I have configured k-meleon as default browser during installation, and again run the default browser configuration after, but this did not solve the trouble.
I don't want to uninstall firefox, as I still need to run it from time to time for very specific applications.
so, what should I do to force URL from outlook/word to open correctly in k-meleon?

Which browser, KM or FF, is your default browser?
Hello,
into k-meleon I have configured F2 -> set k-meleon as default browser -> check relevant options.
(same kind of operation I used to do successfully to set firefox as default browser)
should I do more?
more info:
my professional PC is under windows-NT,
my private PC is under windows-XP.
I encouter trouble on both PC (currently i'm logged on professional PC, and this one is more important to solve...)
I have already set the association into windows explorer for .html and some other types of files: "open with..." k-meleon. and it did not solve the trouble.

what is written in this FAQ:
is already configured on my PC.
so, ???
The link I've given should take you to "Trouble Shooting" > "Why is K-Meleon opening two windows or displaying a "Can't open..." error message when I open an URL from an e-mail program or an Internet Shortcut?" The answer to this question is the answer to your question.
yesss! it works!
many thanks!
Catherine
