updated variation : K-Meleon-F3510

I have uploaded a new updated unofficial variation K-Meleon-F3510 .
It is based on Firefox 3.5.10, Gecko 1.9.1.10/ date 20100504
Firefox 3.5 will get security updates till August 2010.
* This is an experimental version, based on Gecko 1.9.1.10 .This KM is based on KM 1.5 .
* My intention is to present an updated 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 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 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.
* In Linux the URL bar is only usable with more recent wine versions. If you are using a very old 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.
* 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.

* Keyboard shortcuts:
Page back : (right)ctrl + left arrow
Page forward : (right)ctrl + right arrow
Close Window : (right)ctrl + down arrow
Go to home : (right)ctrl + up arrow

Download the zip file at :

If in Vista the Internet is refused using a user account, start it once (but only once) as an administrator.
This should enable Internet access for the user account as well.

Regards to all

OK, I'm using it right now, and I'm wondering why is it working under win98se? If I understand correclty this variation is KM1.5+Gecko1.9?
Is it because I have KernelEx installed? I will test it further.
Nice job BTW.

This variation is based on Firefox 3.5.10. based
on Gecko 1.9.1.10 .
The official Firefox is now 3.6.7 , based on Geck0 1.9.2.7 .
Firefox 3.5 will be supported with security updates
till August 2010.
By the way : There is now an updated Firefox 3.5.11
available, and I will soon update this K-Meleon variation
to Gecko 1.9.1.11 from Firefox 3.5.11 .
k-meleon.exe will still be from KM 1.5 for this variation.
