K-Meleon 76 on Goanna engine

In 2017, K-Meleon 76 on Goanna became the active branch of the K-Meleon project. K-Meleon's lead developer expressed approval and enthusiasm for the Goanna branch but never transferred ownership of the project before stepping away, so K-Meleon on Goanna remains unofficial.

Check the Installation Guide for help installing or updating K-Meleon. You will need an archiver like 7-zip to extract the installation file.

Installation Notes

Installation from .7z

1. Download the .7z file for the latest version of K-Meleon.
2. Extract K-Meleon using an archiver like 7-zip.
   • For a portable installation, you need a blank profile.ini file in your K-Meleon folder. This should exist by default. If you don't see it, you can create a blank file titled profile.ini in the main K-Meleon folder.
3. Double-click k-meleon.exe to launch the browser.

Updating from .7z

1. Rename your older K-Meleon folder to K-Meleon-Old. This is now a temporary backup.
2. Download the .7z file for the latest version of K-Meleon.
3. Extract K-Meleon using 7-zip into a new folder. Do not use your existing K-Meleon folder, and do not run K-Meleon yet.
4. Close any open K-Meleon windows.
5. Copy and paste the following entire folders from K-Meleon-Old to the new K-Meleon folder:
   • \Profiles
   • \browser\defaults\preferences (if you have made custom configs)
   • \macros (if you have added or modified macros)
   • \skins (if you have added or modified skins)
   • \tools (if it exists)
6. Double-click k-meleon.exe and test to see that everything is working. If there are any issues, your backup in K-Meleon-Old should still work exactly as before.

Uninstallation

To uninstall a portable installation, delete the entire K-Meleon folder. If you have created any shortcuts, delete those as well. K-Meleon on Goanna does not affect the registry. By default, the profiles containing personal settings are stored within the root K-Meleon folder.
