K-Meleon on Goanna :
K-Meleon Web Browser Forum
Question:
- What happens if all the folder content from fresh installation of the latest KMeleon Goanna 76.1 by @roytam1 is copied over fresh installation folder content of old KMeleon 76 RC2 Pro by @rodocop?
KM76Pro: https://my.powerfolder.com/dl/fiETUtTcytcvWs2sNCrugjwC/K-Meleon76_Pro_RC.7z
KMGoanna, see first link at first post: http://kmeleonbrowser.org/forum/read.php?19,148500
* Several files shall be overwrote, go on and proceed with no fear at all.
* Remember: copy all content of KMeleon Goanna over KMeleon 76 RC2 Pro!
* These instructions are applied also to get updated with the latest weekly releases of KMeleon Goanna by @roytam1, because no profiles are overwritten nor features are lost: just copy the entire fresh KMeleon Goanna folder content of each new weekly release over existing 'Kmeleon Hybrid' folder).
* No problems have been reported, however this is for experimenting purposes.
Answer:
- Everything works but 'User Agent' default assigned old UAs, at Menu 'Tools', minor issue imho considering that the new engine is able to adapt itself to some required website UAs.
- Improved browsing experience and amazing speed/stability noticed by me and my friends.
- Best way to mix the good 'Pro' features by @rodocop, including full working AdblockPlus by default, with the latest and good bug fixes and UA tricks for the Goanna engine v3.4.2 by @roytam1.
- KMA extension also works fine as expected, including menus and options:
http://kmeleonbrowser.org/forum/read.php?1,92260,148026#msg-148026
- All KMeleon extensions should work fine, available at: http://kmext.sourceforge.net/
- New @rodocop's ultrasurf plugin for latest KMeleon Hybrid: https://www.softpedia.com/get/Security/Security-Related/UltraSurf.shtml

Important:
The browser engine inside K-Meleon (Gecko or Goanna) comes with countless native prefs and 'about:' settings pages. Most, but not all of them are used by K-Meleon too, although they may be visible. This can be confusing, but the K-Meleon GUI is slightly neglected since many years. There are some newer Gecko-functions which actually work like in Firefox too, but they didnt make it into the GUI yet, so you must know which prefs to toggle manually in about:config, or even have to create those prefs first. On the other hand KM has inherited a bunch of new Gecko prefs and ABOUT-pages from the engine, which you can see, but not everything has a function or is meant to in KM. A few features are either intentionally cropped (like WebRTC), or K-Meleon uses own modules and other prefs instead (like Search macro), or just not finished yet.
The K-Meleon configuration is traditionally found in menu Edit>Preferences (F2) and Edit>Configuration.
The ABOUT-pages are inherited from the engine, and except aboutconfig rather new in KM (like about:addons)

To solve browser problems it sometimes helps to clear cache, clear cookies,
change UserAgent (by macro, attention there can be several conflicting macros),
restart the browser, restart system, check Adblock settings, proxies,
check write permission in profile and in KM program folder (toolbars.cfg),
delete the startupCache in Profile folder (KM7X),
check external antivirus tools, CCleaner settings etc.
In a few cases non-ASCII URLs in session lists have blocked startup (older KM)
Or 'lost' the whole profile?
KM looks for profiles in 2 locations: system user folder or KM program folder.
Where it looks, depends from the existence of an empty file 'profile.ini' in KM folder.
Create it manually (=portable) or delete it (=installed) to switch, then restart.
It's also possible to have several profiles in each location (Edit > Manage Profiles)
Find the active profile folder with menu Edit>Configuration>Profile Directory.
If you cannot figure out something
look in the KM-forum, try its search function, or post a question there.
But often it's quicker to just search the web for the same problem in Firefox,
or in PALE MOON (for KM-Goanna.)

that's very interesting.
Thanks for thinking outside the box and providing this option.
But I would expect a bunch of unexpected errors over time.
After all you have files of different browser versions mixed together, right ?
IMHO no. But some small things might cause errors.
p.s. All things that work with KM macros should behave (little was changed)
but XUL based additions may need - arcane - info on what is newer.
Edited 2 time(s). Last edit at 10/31/2018 02:33AM by guenter.
You have to edit some strings in the macro's *.JS. That is IMHO all.
There are generic old posts - the basic 1.5.x things still work.
@chrizilla thank you for your kind words of support and interest!
@guenter thank you too my old friend, it's always a pleasure to read you!
@guenter thanks also about the UAs issue advice, I will give it a try.
In fact I wanted to name this version as KMeleon Goanna Pro, however I guess that the "Pro" name addition belongs to @rodocop because he was the very first to mention it when KMeleon 76 Pro was released, letting us to enjoy its good features, stability and speed. I was nearly forced to do this unofficial mixed version of KMeleon Pro by @rodocop and KMeleon Goanna by @roytam1 because I have a lot of friends, and even family, that sincerily are in love with the features included at unofficial Pro version. I tried to let them to know the benefits of KMGoanna with no much success, mainly because they were used to browse with @rodocop's version.
Nearly every week my friends asked me about when the new upcoming Pro version of KMeleon Goanna will be released, however I didn't know the answer at all. So I did some thoughts and one day the light appears for me, and I started some attempts with several profiles, copying and removing files from here and there, till I decided to copy directly one entire version over the other one, with amazing and unexpected good results. All websites worked like a charm for everyone, even faster than before (e.g. thesun newspaper, a heavy size page, gets load in seconds -- also faster loading times than Firefox latest version, or even Chrome, are visually noticed though I didn't measure them).
Now all my friends are using KMG Hybrid with no problem reported at all, and they are enjoying the KMeleon Goanna and Pro features mixed at the same time, enjoying also the good browser response in adverse WiFi speed or distance conditions.

You have to edit some strings in the macro's *.JS. That is IMHO all.
There are generic old posts - the basic 1.5.x things still work.

@chrizilla thank you for your kind words of support and interest!
@guenter thank you too my old friend, it's always a pleasure to read you!
@guenter thanks also about the UAs issue advice, I will give it a try.
In fact I wanted to name this version as KMeleon Goanna Pro, however I guess that the "Pro" name addition belongs to @rodocop because he was the very first to mention it when KMeleon 76 Pro was released, letting us to enjoy its good features, stability and speed. I was nearly forced to do this unofficial mixed version of KMeleon Pro by @rodocop and KMeleon Goanna by @roytam1 because I have a lot of friends, and even family, that sincerily are in love with the features included at unofficial Pro version. I tried to let them to know the benefits of KMGoanna with no much success, mainly because they were used to browse with @rodocop's version.
Nearly every week my friends asked me about when the new upcoming Pro version of KMeleon Goanna will be released, however I didn't know the answer at all. So I did some thoughts and one day the light appears for me, and I started some attempts with several profiles, copying and removing files from here and there, till I decided to copy directly one entire version over the other one, with amazing and unexpected good results. All websites worked like a charm for everyone, even faster than before (e.g. thesun newspaper, a heavy size page, gets load in seconds -- also faster loading times than Firefox latest version, or even Chrome, are visually noticed though I didn't measure them).
Now all my friends are using KMG Hybrid with no problem reported at all, and they are enjoying the KMeleon Goanna and Pro features mixed at the same time, enjoying also the good browser response in adverse WiFi speed or distance conditions.
