Note: This is a community installer for an unstable version of K-Meleon.

There is an unstable port of K-Meleon 74 for Windows 2000 that includes the Goanna 2.2 engine, Transport Layer Security (TLS) support, and several fixes from recent Goanna versions. Most web browsers designed for Windows 2000 (and 98) did not support TLS and cannot access modern sites using the HTTPS protocol. This is the most modern web engine that can run on the Windows 2000 and Windows 9X operating systems. If you are using Windows XP or higher, use the latest release from the Download page.

Known Issues

• This unofficial build has many of the same issues as the original K-Meleon 74. Its limited support of the JSBridgePlugin and the xpi format means that most XUL-based extensions will not work, even if they were written for K-Meleon 75.X and up.
• Unfortunately, bugs in the text handling affect the macro plugin and the toolbars as well. Many macros have bugs or difficulty loading. The severity of bug varies from system to system.
• Kplugins may not load in Windows XP.

Windows 98

To run this version of K-Meleon on Windows 9X systems like Windows 98, use KernelEx with KernelEx Core Updates 4.5.2016.18 or higher. Run the installer with the default options checked and set k-meleon.exe to Win2000SP4. For more information on using KernelEx: http://kernelex.sourceforge.net/wiki/K-Meleon

K-Meleon 1.5 can access modern sites on Windows 98 with Roytam's TLS patches. It is more stable and does not require KernelEx to run on 9X operating systems. See this forum thread for details: http://kmeleonbrowser.org/forum/read.php?22,151512

Retrozilla

Retrozilla is a web browser for Windows 9X forked from an early version of Firefox. It is more stable but less compatible with modern sites. Version 2.2 of Retrozilla includes the TLS updates created by Roytam and used in this unofficial port.
