Pale Moon was based on Gecko 24 in its versions 24.x, 25.x and 26.x. They then decided that Pale Moon was becoming outdated rather quickly and rebased their browser on Gecko 38 - and the result was Pale Moon 27.x. So they essentially skipped Gecko 31, which is what K-Meleon 75 was based on. So there is a direct counterpart for K-Meleon 74 and K-Meleon 76, but not really for K-Meleon 75. (...)

Site specific overrides should work for session, if there is no error evaluating this line in Console2:Components.utils.import('resource://gre/modules/UserAgentOverrides.jsm').UserAgentOverrides.init();

What I'm doing wrong?
1. The set was taken from http://o.rthost.win/gpc/files1.rt/KM74-g22-20180429.win2000.7z
2. And additional set from http://o.rthost.win/gpc/files1.rt/KM74-g22-20180506.testbin.7z
3. Mix them, add second to first.
and...
K-Meleon

K-Meleon failed to initialize. Please reinstall.

OK
Win98 SE + KERNEL EX v.4.5.2

I can open HTTPS!!!!
LOL! Okay, it's a bit cheating:
have copied over all 3 *.db files from my RetroRoyFox3.6 profile :cool:
Then opened this page:
https://msfn.org/board/forum/8-windows-9xme/
Actually had tried something like that before, but had overlooked it's 3 files, and only taken 2. And not sure if they were from my KM1.6 only. But doesn't matter: that's a workaround win98 users surely can live with.
But it's excrutiatingly sloooooooooow, takes 10-20x longer as with KM1.6
That's not httpS related, am sure it's just some normal bug. Because just about everything is extremely slow, even if there's zero reason. For example loading my LOCAL link list, which loads in half a second in KM1.6. KM74 needs 15 seconds. And even setting the browser offline, no difference. The funny thing is, loading time depends from the number of contained links! It's proportional. The original file has about 130 links, a shorter test file about 10-20.
Although have figured out there exist 3 "prefetch" prefs, those don't help a thing. And if I change all links to http only, no difference either.
But also XUL windows are suspiciously slow, although not quite as extreme.
A huge prob is also that something makes KM74goa crash so often yet, and irregular. But not reproducable always, not reliably. Out-of-box its worst. Enabling just the menubar seems only possible using F2>toolbar. Sometimes an older skin seems to improve crashing, sometimes first opening another tab before calling e.g. View>Toolbars.
And since yesterday all XUL windows have extremely small font. Could be related to testbin3, but not sure. Anyone else?

Actually, it's *almost* ready for daily use now
Main probs still XUL font, missing history, and URL-bar history has some prob (also in KM1.6), etc...
And slowness, of course depending on page content, but there must be more reasons. Some strange bugs involved too, because of this:
Just opening a new empty tab takes suspiciously longer as usual, and opening F2 kmprefs too. And after restarts, opening a second tab often prevents crashing when trying to show the toolbars menu. Not always, can't nail it down reliable+reproducable, but often when right-clicking in a free toolbar space.
Especially suspicious I find this:
http://kmeleonbrowser.org/forum/file.php?19,file=1750,filename=test-linkpage_KM74goa22_98SE.htm
Attached is an extremely stripped down version of my links homepage. Have removed all tables, style-gimmicks etc., just to test the loading times. That time depends exactly on the number of links contained, easy to test when multiplying them 10x in the source code.
Even when the whole browser is set to OFFLINE.
Have suspected as culprits perhaps link-prefetching, DNS-prefetching, adblockers, some malware/phishing/other tracking prefs, security prefs, but there are just so countless many...

JujuLand reported a 'Disk Space Watcher Service' error using Gecko 24. It was fixed a few days later.

Riddling if I understand correctly: can you access httpS sites with KM74 without copying over the *.db files from another browser/profile?

Fortunately, all basic features works.
