Hi, I'm using K-Meleon 1.5.0 and wish to upgrade it to version 1.5.1.
You can proceed as already suggested.
They are compatible to each other. The later is a bugfix & improvement.
They can use each others profiles.
------------
There are also some alternatives.
If You want to use default name/location? Just backup the complete

C:\Program Files\K-Meleon\Profiles\6rhgfboa.default
folder and
C:\Program Files\K-Meleon\profile.ini
file to a safe location - if anything goes wrong copy all back before You first start the new 1.5.1 version. You can also delete a corrupted profile - to do this.
As long as You have a fresh backup there is no problem to go back.
The Profile Backup extension intends to automatically update the files inside a profile backup (I always forgot to do it:mad
. It overwrites after one week.
---------------------
Since You have No Multy User Support but Your Profile in K-Meleon folder:

You can alternatively give the new K-Meleon's folder a new name e.g.:
C:\Program Files\K-Meleon1.5.1
That way You have 2 working K-Meleons. Now start 1.5.1 so that it creates a profile. Then You want to alter it to use Your old settings.
For that You use(redirect to old location), copy or alter files.
Favs ? =
IE favorites = are kept by system /nothing to do.
Favicon = IconCache.dat (copy)
Bookmarks = bookmarks.html (copy or redirect)
Hotlinks = *.adr (have no idea what current name - AFAIremember extension *.adr.)(copy or redirect)
passwords = 7945554.s (number is random - You copy paste content into new *.s) If Masterpass is used also copy the 3 *.db to new profile.
settings = which (have a look in prefs.js & re-use those lines that do not point to a specific location on hdd).
plugins = copy.
macros = which (copy if it is the same major version // it is the same 1.5.x!
)
p.s. I use the same setup as You. I copy&paste passwords and some files. I have relocated some settings like my favorite toolbar layout, speed tweaks, bookmarks location (user_pref("kmeleon.plugins.bookmarks.bookmarkFile", "I:\\K-Meleonde-DE1.1.4de-de\\Profiles\\default\\tmickfmu.slt\\bookmarks.html"); ).... into a
user.js - that is also in profile & settings there override all. They can be edited by the user. And I copy this user.js file to new K-Meleon profiles. All my K-Meleons are set to reuse some ancient tweaks, layouts and the bookmarks.html in an old K-Meleon's Profile.
I set the rest to my liking via Preferences panels's interfaces (that is fastest).
