I want to install the currenverter, but i had no chance to do that? How's the way to do that?

Unzip (xpi is another name for what we call zip, so You will find files in folders and subfolders. The structure corresponds with k-meleon folders and subfolders; plus You will also find some rdf or js that tells the xpi where to unzip with the browser/application for which the installer was designed).

Basically: You look what is inside the xpi and put it back at the same place inside K-Meleon folder. You adapt the paths of the Chrome of the Firefox extension. Then You write a calling macro. With luck the extension is compatible.

You will find examples of unpacked xpi prepared for to be packed for k-meleon installers available on Jujuland French K-Meleon Page.

They prepared/adapted extensions have example *.kmm that call XUL items.
They have chrome items with manifests that have paths adapted for K-Meleon.
You simply use the examples.

If You find *.xpt that go to ./components You must delete compreg.dat and xpi.dat in that folder (there are only these two files with extension that in this folder) / the 2 files are regenarated with the new items listed inside.

And Firefox calls what K-Meleon knows as ./default/pref folder differntly namely ./defaults/preferences (that is just if You find the subfolder and wonder where it is).

BTW. what does the extension do and what is the url.

There aren't supporting singles folders for each extensions ... Am I right ?
Does it must be integrated in profile or KM folder ?

1.) right / and writing path to profile chrome (and other folder) is hard (by hand and I have not tested it with current chrome.dll.

2.) So we best place it into K-Meleon main (chrome) folder.
