Not all Firefox extension will work. Obviously You want to try.

After You unzipped the xpi installer You had: folders with files inside.
The files go into the corresponding K-Meleon folders.

chrome - > chrome.

jar is a chrome file. It goes to ./K-Meleon/chrome.
(jar is another name for zip - peek inside You will need the info later)

outside the folders You have a install.rdf, *.js, and a *.manifest file.

install.rdf makes sure that the XPI installer only installs with applications that the authors want - not used by k-meleon.

install.js the same.

the manifest file is used in K-Meleon chrome - but You must edit its paths so that they fit to the new location.

For an example edit - compare Newsfox Firefox extension with K-meleon extension.

When the manifest is finished?

You may have to create a *.kmm. Examples that start a XUL application are newsfox.kmm , mtypes.kmm, console2.kmm in folder ./K-Meleon/macros.


JarTester an application that lets You start XUL during tests is at K-Meleon extension page. It helps You to choose which XUL files inside the jar must be started by the kmm.

During the first tests You should also look into error-console. It sometimes helps You to know if You have an error and what type. Errors that say ... cannot find a file in Firefox/chrome/... are normally show stoppers.

thanks a million.but it didnt have a jumplink.manifest file in it ,can it create one by looking at the newsfox.manifest file.and were did you say put the .js file merry christmas

Name does not matter, there is normally only one manifest file in the xpi - in Firefox the file could be also named "app-chrome.manifest". That is the generic name that is given to it when it is created from installed-chrome.txt.
Make a backup and edit then rename the finished one and put to folder chrome.

Yes if the general structure inside jumplink.jar is like inside newsfox.jar You use newsfox.manifest as example for changes or to write it from srcatch.

After You unpacked the XPI.

install.js? is not used by K-Meleon = no where.

Any *.js that are in sub-folders e.g. ./components or ./defaults go to the K-Meleon sub-folder with the same name.

Any *.js in the jar stay there.

the same to You.
