Here's how it went: Pale Moon 27 (Tycho platform) did support Vista (and higher), but not XP; the New Moon 27 fork was created by @roytam1 to restore WinXP support; I can assure you that NM27 runs on Vista just as good (possibly better) as it does on WinXP... Then Moonchild Productions created Pale Moon 28, built on the UXP platform; UXP forked MozillaESR 52, which did support both XP+Vista; but Moonchild Productions removed both these OSes from their forked platform, so that UXP now supports Win7+. To the rescue came, again, @roytam1 , who restored support in UXP for BOTH WinXP and Vista; in fact, New Moon 28 and Serpent 52.9.0 are almost the only browser choices for Vista users nowadays, browsers which are under continued development and not EOL'd... And when have I disputed that? I merely said: Unless numerous other members (on XP/Vista/whatever) come forth here with the same affliction as yours, i.e. severe performance degradation of New Moon 28 as the result of the ported (from Australis) audio-tab-icon enhancement, let's, for the sake of argument, assume that, for the time being, what you're experiencing has to somehow do with your own setup(s). For the record, the last NM28 build without the feature was (x86): palemoon-28.2.0a1.win32-git-20181117-c94825c86-xpmod.7z and this feature/enhancement was introduced first in (x86): palemoon-28.2.0a1.win32-git-20181124-b37e8f87c-xpmod.7z (and is still present in latest build...); so people reading this should test and report back, if this is to be troubleshot... Calm down, please ! You have to understand first that the New Moon 28 builds are provided by @roytam1 as a pure courtesy to WinXP and Vista users and under no circumstances is he any part of the decision making with regards to browser features that get implemented (or not!); the entire browser code is being modified upstream by the Moonchild dev team, @roytam1 only intervenes to the extent of making that code successfully compile and run on XP+, NOTHING MORE... This has been explained before in this thread, but I suspect its sheer size has now become a deterrent for new members to read it... If you have a gripe about this feature, you should've directed your frustration over at Moonchild et company, not at Roy; but Moonchild only support "new" Win OSes (Win7+) and "new" hardware, so even that is a moot point... To re-iterate, you may indeed have a genuine issue on your setup, but: 1. It's wrong to generalise as if every NM28 user on every possible configuration has that same issue (and issue directives/guidelines as to what people should or shouldn't install in their browsers)... 2. Even if you're the only one with the problem, you'd have to provide ample details and reproduction steps to the current maintainer so he's in a position to first reproduce and, second, hopefully offer you some fixes for it... FYI, the code in the upstream repo that implemented this enhancement you detest is covered in UXP Pull Request #874: https://github.com/MoonchildProductions/UXP/pull/874 You'll find there all links to individual commits... ======================== OT: Maybe it's my own false sense, but to me you're coming off as a tad aggressive in your last two posts (of a total of 3); this isn't very becoming of "new" members, especially when you expect feedback/help from other members here - we are all volunteers and, of course, no one is perfect, but we do try our best to help (at least I do... ).

I have gathered a large variety of updates, tweaks, other software / addons for XP x64 / 2k3 x64; of which I believe will or can be useful depending on the users needs. Now, I can't guarantee that I have all the updates are here but, I can at least offer what I have managed to collect. I hope that this collection helps some of you from at least having to hunt down some updates / software yourself. I have updates ranging from 2014 & lower, plus 2015 & 2017 along with some other enhancements, tweaks, and software. To clarify, I am absolutely not responsible for damages or incorrect usage of software / updates from this archive. PLEASE be careful & always make backups before proceeding with anything! Good luck!

Sure. But maybe he is someone else - just with the same nickname, logo and even the files downloaded using your profile. Such a coincidence.

These work:

The Borealis Navigator is built upon the UXP platform (much like Basilisk 52[Serpent 52.9.0] and Pale Moon 28[New Moon 28.x.xa1] browsers; UXP was forked from the Mozilla ESR 52[.6.0] platform; the versions of the Seamonkey suite that build upon Mozilla ESR 52 are of the 2.49.x branch, last one released from that branch was 2.49.4 (built on Mozilla ESR 52.9.0); so, in theory at least, Borealis Navigator 1.0 should be compatible with all Seamonkey 2.49.4 compatible extensions; but there are notable exceptions: the author of BN (infamous Matt A. Tobin ) has disabled support for all jetpack and WebExtensions addons, so that leaves room for only XUL Overlay and Bootstrap extensions (out of the ones compatible with SM 2.49.4); you can read more about BN in its official page: http://binaryoutcast.com/projects/borealis/

This is greatThis should be pinned here so it wouldn't go to the memory land

I'll have to see. I used to avoid installing .NET Framework in the XP days

Oh and maybe some good news for an AMO replacement https://blog.waterfoxproject.org/waterfox-56.2.5-release-download It's Waterfox specific, but it might be helpful to other Gecko users.

Hey dude , I got a snake from jungle ported for you . Take care of my pet python. python xp

What is the current state of your Vista installation? Is it an old or a fresh install? Has SP1 been (manually) correctly installed? Then you should proceed with (manually) installing SP2, followed by installing Internet Explorer 9. Then search for (in MUC) and manually install latest security update for IE9 (2018-11 Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer 9 for Windows Server 2008 for x86-based systems (KB4466536)) Then you should manually install the latest update for Server 2008 SP2 that updates win32k.sys (previously known as "Update for the Windows Kernel") which, in all probability, is KB4056944; in the past, that was the decisive update to be installed manually that would speed up the whole process of checking for updates... I have stopped trying to manually update my system a while ago, so can't speak from experience on the latest state of affairs... Last things I read were that MS has applied to Server 2008 the same updating model as the one used in Win7SP1+, i.e. offering update bundles (Rollups) rather than standalone ones; and they may (?) have switched to TLS 1.2 for delivering updates, which should be an issue for a new Vista install (which only ever supported TLS 1.0); but this is pure speculation on my part... 2 hours isn't much , especially if you need to find a lot of updates ; better leave the machine running overnight, check back again in the morning... Also, some people had posted that installing the standalone version of the Windows Update Agent did help them: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/949104/how-to-update-the-windows-update-agent-to-the-latest-version Download the "Stand-alone package for Windows 7 SP1 and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1", once run, it will correctly detect Vista (NT 6.0) and install a Vista compatible version; after the installation and full restart, file wuaueng.dll should be at version 7.6.7600.256 For additional help, you'll have better luck, hopefully, if you posted in the forum's dedicated thread: https://msfn.org/board/topic/175919-windows-update-taking-forever/ and/or in https://msfn.org/board/topic/176686-server-2008-updates-on-windows-vista/ Hope I've helped...
