Extensions :
K-Meleon Web Browser Forum
Hi all,
Switching from Mozila Firefox (FF) to K-Meleon (K) because of lightweight, speed & performance. I have some extensions must have in FF but they cannot work in K v74 & K v74.7+1.
I installed AdBlockPlus (https://update.adblockplus.org/latest/adblockplusfirefox.xpi) successfully in v74.7+1 only. Others FF extensions can't be.
e.g. AutoClipCopy (http://kmext.sourceforge.net/extensions/autoclipcopy.7z) not good as AutoCopy 2 (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/autocopy-2/?src=search) and more...
Can anyone guide me?
Thanks.
The XPI can be installed. This does not mean it works. Try to do a synthesis of the two. That uses the kmm of the K-Meleon version and the XUL of the new XPI. If You assume an error and want to try to fix it use 74.7+1 by naruman that has a working console2.
I am not the extension's dev. Nobody here is.
Which also?
p.s. For a starter info. Read here: http://kmeleon.sourceforge.net/wiki/Resources?thankyou=1#line68
Besides the cave at's mentioned. K-Meleon chrome is smaller than that of Firefox.
So a few that need more firefox items in chrome throw errors and do not work.
naruman is working on ways to aliviate this and other problems with XUL add-ons. That does not mean it will be fixed. It only means that he is trying to and looks whether there are ways to fix it. Repeat: K-Meleon has no GUI based on XUL so some things will never work.
That K-Meleon is easier on some resources is because it has no redering windows based on XUL nor ones that are conected to XUL.
K-Meleon is calling a XUL add-on like it would call an external html source/window.
Thanks man.
I tried but unsuccessfull with my firefox addons.

Wiki
Add-On Not Working More often than working. Why?
All are Firefox add-ons after all. Firefox' GUI is XUL based K-Meleon's is not.
All add-ons that manipulate the GUI will not work. This includes functions in an add-on that otherwise will work. No button in a bar/GUI, nor the connection from add-on to browser if it is relying on an element that belongs to the GUI.
NO go. You will probably not even get a message from the console2.
Most add-ons have functionality implemented in JavaScript. One single errors stops the code. So when an add-on does not work You need to look into the Error Console.
But You cannot do much unless You know JavaScript which makes that You are a dev. If it was an essential add-on that a dev wants he would have done already - so no help. A Foxi add-on dev will not help You either - You are using a FF clone that he does not support.
No help from outside You are on Your own. But it is not always a lost case.
You need a little HTML, other coding or daring to do anything. With that You can try to comment out and change little things. Trial and error, For password exporter I merely had to comment out ( // before the lines) functions that threw an error and were not really needed. You save Js as UTF8 - same with install.rdf.
Besides the cave at's mentioned. K-Meleon chrome is smaller than that of Firefox.
So a few that need more firefox items in chrome throw errors and do not work.
naruman is working on ways to aliviate this and other problems with XUL add-ons. That does not mean it will be fixed. It only means that he is trying to and looks whether there are ways to fix it. Repeat: K-Meleon has no GUI based on XUL so some things will never work.
That K-Meleon is easier on some resources is because it has no redering windows based on XUL nor ones that are conected to XUL.
K-Meleon is calling a XUL add-on like it would call an external html source/window.
