Improvement requests :
K-Meleon Web Browser Forum
Personally, I've never previously had much respect for browsers other than IE, and to a lesser extent Opera. But version .4 of the browser is very nice.
There are a few annoyances though. One is that when entering in a box like this, the | thing over laps the last letter a bit. Which is kinda icky.
Either way, I had a cool idea. Well, you know how IE can 'contain' programs like Adobe Acroabat or Word when reading files of that type? KMeleon could pickup these special documents, and then KMeleon could invisibly sideline the gecko engine, and use call the IEEngine, which can be loaded into other products. The IE engine will automatically uses the PDF plugin, and will show it within the KMeleon window. Clever, eh?
On leaving the page, KMeleon could unload the IE engine, and revert to the Gecko one, all invisibly to the user.
And of, course this feature would be optional.
Not necessary. There are Netscape versions of all of those plugins, and those are compatible with Gecko, and therefore should be compatible with K-Meleon. I've never tried it though. Also, with your method, K-Meleon wouldn't work on 98lite systems...
What about spawning EXEs rather than running plug ins? How do you do this?

Yeah, but the ones for Microsoft Office stuff aren't nearly as good.

Use this forum to talk about a feature you're missing.
