K-Meleon

KMeleonWiki > Documentation > MigratingProfiles


By using an old profile with a new version of K-Meleon you might miss some of the new features. Compare your profile files with those available in C:\Program Files\K-Meleon\defaults\profile\ and do the needed adjustments.

For migrating from K-Meleon 0.7 to K-Meleon 0.8 these new features include LButton, MButton and RButton in accel.cfg, and DocumentImagePopup and FrameDocumentImagePopup in menus.cfg.

The profile files are normally located in:
