K-Meleon

Documentation - Reference - Mozilla Preferences

This page list some of the Mozilla preferences used by K-Meleon. As K-Meleon uses the same rendering engine, Gecko, as Mozilla, some of the preferences defined by Mozilla can also be set in K-Meleon. A few of these preferences are set in the prefs.js file located in the user profile directory. However, the majority of these preferences are not defined for K-Meleon. This list of preferences is intended to provide a reference for advanced users of K-Meleon who wish to further customize the Mozilla preferences in K-Meleon. Preferences that are defined in the Preferences section are not included.

For more information on modifying these preferences, see the help guide on Customizing Preferences.

The Mozilla preferences are defined using the user_pref function. They follow one of these formats:

Preference	Example
user_pref("Preference Name","string value");	user_pref("font.name.serif.x-western", "Georgia");
user_pref("Preference Name", numerical value);	user_pref("browser.display.use_document_fonts", 0);
user_pref("Preference Name", boolean value);	user_pref("browser.underline_anchors", false);

Note: These preferences are Mozilla defined preferences. The prefs.js file contains additional preferences, some that can be set through the Preferences dialog, that are defined specifically for K-Meleon. A list of the K-Meleon Specific Preferences is available.
