[SOLVED] How do you get adblock plus to work with k-meleon?

PrinceRameses · 06-19-2008, 08:02 PM

Can someone please walk me through how to do this?

http://adblockplus.org/en/kmeleon

I do not understand how to do this 'extract files' bull crap. I've tried so many time for it to work, but I don't know what to do.

It says to download the file and unzip it (decompress and extract) into the K-Meleon folder. Do you have a program for unzipping?

Quote:

Unpack this package with any ZIP unpacker into the directory of your K-Meleon browser, all files will be placed into the right directories. Then start K-Meleon, it will ask you whether Adblock Plus plugin should be activated — confirm this. That’s all, Adblock Plus should work now.

Free downloads for zip programs:
Zipper
FreeZip
7zip

I have the default thing. I chose extract all files, and it led me to the extracted files. Then what?

What's the default thing?

Are you extracting the files into the K-Meleon folder?

PrinceRameses · 06-19-2008, 09:45 PM

C:\DOCUME~1\Owner\LOCALS~1\Temp\adblockplus-kmeleon-0.7.5.4-en-US

You've extracted (unzipped) the files into C:\DOCUME~1\Owner\LOCALS#1\Temp instead of the K-Meleon folder.

The folder names in your first screenshot (chrome, components, defaults, kplugins) show that there's nothing wrong the the AdBlock installation, you've just unzipped into the wrong folder.

If the built-in thing doesn't let you choose where to extract the files to, use one of my links.

It lets me chose, but I don't know where to go. How could I find out the correct address?

**koala** · 06-19-2008, 10:19 PM

It's probably C:\Program Files\K-Meleon or wherever you installed K-Meleon.

OMG, thank you SO much. I have been trying to get this working for months.

It tells you where to extract the files in the instructions:
