--This is a NoXul variation, usable in Linux together with wine , or also in Windows, updated to Mozilla Gecko 1.9.1.18, from Seamonkey 2.0.13. (from Seamonkey-Tinderbox.) Based on KM 1.5, not on KM 1.6 . The fast NX No-chrome concept is used here. Thanks to Hao Jiang and Dorian. The profiles folder will be created inside the K-Meleon main folder, and should leave profiles from other versions untouched. If, when in Linux, you want this folder inside the wine configuration directory because of property rights problems, rename the file profile.ini inside the K-Meleon main folder to for example profile.ini-renamed before the first start.
If you need these files, look for them in the internet. If necessary in Linux, copy the files manually to the K-Meleon main folder. A javascript button has been included. After changing permissions for javascript, reload the page. As this variation has no xul, there is also no working Preferences panel. Personal changes of the default configuration can only be made editing the configuration files manually. Extensions are not installable in this No-xul variation. The user agent has been set to Opera 10, to get the best browser recognition on javascript sites, when working with Linux and the wine emulator. Other user agents can be selected in the Tools menu.

This is an experimental version, based on 1.9.1.13pre/20100907, from Seamonkey 2.0.7 . (Seamonkey 2.0.8 was not a security update.) My intention is to present an 1.9 variation that works in Windows, but also in Linux with wine, where the conditions to work are more difficult for K-Meleon than in Windows. This variation is based on K-Meleon 1.5 .
--Note : This version works only, if you have the files msvcp71.dll, msvcr71.dll and mfc71u.dll in your system or in your K-Meleon main folder. If you need these dll's, look for them in the Internet. If necessary in Linux, put them into the K-Meleon main folder. The profile will be created inside the K-Meleon folder. If in Linux you want it inside the ".wine" folder, because of user rights problems, rename the file profile.ini to profile.ini-renamed before the first start. If you have starting problems, try to delete compreg.dat and xpti.dat in the folder components. I have added these files, because in Vista earlier variations refused to build these files at the first start .
--Opera has been set as user agent, to avoid errors in complex webpages with insufficient browser recognition. In Linux the URL bar is only usable with more recent wine versions. If you are using an older wine version, use the URL button to open an URL prompt. A recent version of wine for Linux is preferable, to minimize possible crashes.
--A javascript button has been included. After changing permissions for javascript, reload the page.
--Many additional Search Engines in the menu bar, opening in a new window.
--A general startpage is already in the bookmarks.
--Note : This is just a proof of concept, not a polished final version, so some things may not work yet.

This is an experimental variation, based one Firefox3512, Gecko 1.9.1.12/ date 2010821. Firefox 3.5 still has security updates . (Firefox3513 was not a security update.) This variation is based on K-Meleon 1.5 . My intention is to present an 1.9 variation that works in Windows, but also in Linux with wine, where the conditions to work are more difficult for K-Meleon than in Windows.

--Note :
--In Linux the URL bar is only usable with more recent wine versions. If you are using an older wine version, use the URL button to open an URL prompt. A 1.x version of wine for Linux is preferable, to minimize possible crashes. Wine versions higher then 1.1.29 can have problems in older Linux distros with an older libc6 library.
--Opera has been set as user agent, to avoid errors in complex webpages with insufficient browser recognition. The user agent can be changed in the menu Tools.
--A Javascript button has been added. Reload the page after enabling or disabling javascript.

This is a modified 1.x version, based on Mozilla 1.8.1.24, Gecko date 20100228, derived from Seamonkey 1.1.19, that can be burned to CD, to be used from a CD drive,or used from an USBstick or any other drive.
--Nothing will be written on a computer, that you use, where you have no writing rights,and where only reading access is allowed.
--This kiosk version has Fullscreen only, with no toolbars . Menus only in the right click menu. Saving and opening of files can been restricted in menus.cfg and accel.cfg .
--Unzip the file and burn it on a CD.
--Note that the files msvcp71.dll and msvcr71.dll must be in the windows system or else in your K-Meleon main folder. If you need them, look for them in the internet.
--No history view and no bookmarks saving possible, because of read only functions.
--Javascript can be enabled in the context menu. Reload the page after changing.
--The menu is in the right click context menu, or in the shortcut Alt + X.
--To reach an existing bookmarks file on a floppy or elsewhere, or a start page somewhere on the computer or in the web, enter the path to them in Hotkeys from the right click menu, to reach them as a web file using a shortcut Ctrl + number 1 to 0.
--For easy keyboard navigation, use :
--Background and fonts have been set to navy/white for all pages by default.
--If you want the original page colors, set the pref user_pref("browser.display.use_document_colors", false); in both files named prefs.js in the main folder as well as in in the defaults folder to user_pref("browser.display.use_document_colors", true); before you burn the cd.
--To have flash available, you can put the flash plugin NPSWF32.dll into the folder plugins before you burn the cd.
--This version uses a no-xul chrome, which makes it fast, but does not allow xul-based extensions.
--When used from a USB stick or other writable media, make the K-Meleon folder readable only, not writable, to avoid changes from cache or history. From a CD this is not necessary, is is read only anyhow. Note that the menu and all commands are in the right-click menu, where also the shortcuts are given.

This is a simplified version of K-Meleon 1.x , usable in Linux together with wine , or also in Windows, updated to Mozilla 1.8.1.24 using Gecko/20100228, from Seamonkey 1.1.9. Look and feel are similar to the earlier 0.9 versions.
--The NX No-chrome concept is used here. Thanks to Hao Jiang and Dorian. The browser is very fast, because Xul is not used.
--Note : Flashblock, Aggreg8 and other extensions are not included in this no-chrome version, and cannot be installed, because extensions need Xul. Ad-blocking by userContent.css and hostperm.1 .
--Many useful search engines have been added.
--Note : This version works only if you have the files msvcp71.dll and msvcr71.dll in your system or in your K-Meleon folder. If you want to use Internet Explorer Favorites, mfc71.dll would also be necessary. If you need these dll's, look for them in the internet . If necessary in Linux, copy the files manually to the K-Meleon main folder.
--A javascript button has been included. After changing permissions for javascript, reload the page.
--History must be deleted manually.
--The profiles folder will be created inside the K-Meleon main folder by default. If, when in Linux, you want this folder inside the wine configuration directory because of property rights problems, rename the file profile.ini inside the K-Meleon main folder to for example profile.ini-renamed before the first start.
--Note: The zip file contains now two files needed to make it work in Vista as well.
