Szia kantal,
most likely they are not lost but still in another ./profiles folder.
If You instal e.g. as portable or use the 7z. You always create a new profile.
There are two possible general locations to search.
You need to look in user name/%APPDATA%/K-Meleon/profiles/... The exact location varies between Windows versions. It is in the same folder as the Firefox profile. Google for info for that is easy to find.
And You need to look into all old K-Meleon install folders for the folder ./profiles. Open the bookmarks.hml file with a browser when You find a folder with a profile. They look white when opened as html.
When You found it You can copy the whole folder to the new install folder with the new files that will give You all Your old data back.
If You have to migrate a 1.5.4 profile You need to find the following pref in prefs.js of the profile. The red is a random numer.
user_pref("signon.SignonFileName", "32933458.s");
You copy and paste that string into the pref.js of K-Meleon 74's profile.
That should migrate the passwords on the next start.
The history file of 1.5.4 has another format and is lost.
The individual profile folders have names similar to this often: f8me5h5v.default
