Dorian has implemented some infrastructure into 74.

Go Macro To Turn on and Off Firefox Extension Install.

Below is a version of the macro xpinstallext.kmm by JamesD.
Insert into xpinstallext.kmm and save as UTF-8.

_xpinstallext_perfcheck {
$_xpinstallext_PStatus = getpref(BOOL, "kmeleon.install_firefox_extension");
$_xpinstallext_PStatus ? 0 : setpref(BOOL, "kmeleon.install_firefox_extension", false) ; 
}

_xpinstallext_toggle {
menuchecked=getpref( BOOL , "kmeleon.install_firefox_extension" )==true;
togglepref(BOOL, "kmeleon.install_firefox_extension")  ; 
}

_xpinstallext_BuildMenu {
setmenu("&Edit", macro, _("Set FireFox extension install"), _xpinstallext_toggle, -1);
}

$OnStartup=$OnStartup."_xpinstallext_perfcheck;";

The KML for it would read red text: (syntax: english string=translation string).

Goes ito locale e.g. de for German. Use editor to insert string and save as UTF-8 with e.g. FirefoxExtensionsInstall.kml (K-Meleon language file extension is kml)


Set FireFox extension install=Aktiviere Firefox Erweiterung installieren

The macro/menu is found in the Edit menu. Is checked when aktive.


The first extension that I would install is Disable Add-on Compatibility Checks

The extension prevents further compatibility checks and prevents the Firefox wait at each startup while it is checking addon compatibility. The addons are not compatible with K-Meleon and will probably be switched off again after the first check. Lach.

Install location for K-Meleon is always in used profile/extensions. Like Firefox.

Procedure:

Go to the extension's home page click install. Wait till it is downloaded.

Go URL about:addons.

Go to the little wheel with bubble-hint: Tools for all addons. Or local string.

Chose: Install Addon from file - or the local translation. ...

Most of the extensions will install. But not all. Exensions may or may not work.
Some extensions need a restart of the browser. currently, K-Meleon will not ask You for that. That may change in the foreseeable future. C naruman's version.

2.) Manual Install. You do that when 1.) does not work. But even here there is no guarantee that the extension of Your heart will install or work.

To make things easier I use a Firefox that also suppresses compatibility checks.
See above for an addon that does it.

I go to URL about:config and toogle extensions.alwaysUnpack to true.

I want my extensions unpacked if possible. Makes things easier.

Next the addon is installed in firefox from the addon homepage.

Then You go to the used firefox profile. User/%APPDATA%/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles/(some number.default/extensions/Your extension (will be the newest)

Inside the folder is a file install.rdf.

Add to the list of supported apps.

<em:targetApplication>
<Description>
<!--K-Meleon-->
<em:id>kmeleon@</em:id>
<em:minVersion>74.0</em:minVersion>
<em:maxVersion>74.0</em:maxVersion>
</Description>
</em:targetApplication>



Kmeleon id for newer exes is {944df56f-c0ec-4d7b-94b6-f625c8cc96ea} RC2 or newer?

<em:targetApplication>
<Description>
<!--K-Meleon-->
<em:id>{944df56f-c0ec-4d7b-94b6-f625c8cc96ea}</em:id>
<em:minVersion>74.0</em:minVersion>
<em:maxVersion>74.0</em:maxVersion>
</Description>
</em:targetApplication>




The other apps have a similar syntax and often a hint what their id numaber stands for.

<!-- Firefox -->
<em:targetApplication>
<Description>
<em:id>{ec8030f7-c20a-464f-9b0e-13a3a9e97384}</em:id>
<em:minVersion>3.5</em:minVersion>
<em:maxVersion>23.0</em:maxVersion>
</Description>
</em:targetApplication>


Now copy the addon's folder to K-Meleon's used profile/extensions and start KM.

Go to abbout:addons and see whether it is installed. Again: May work or not.

To call specific functionallity in an extension You might need a K-Meleon macro.
Onthe K-Meleon extensions page: You can find old macros which might be usable with fresh chrome files. Scavange there for old macros. If You are lucky they still work. If not You use them as example for You own coding.
