MKVToolnix announced that they were going to officially drop XP with version 9.x in 2015. Luckily, the next version v.10.0 was working on XP anyway. Today I decided to update it after a while and I found out that it wasn't working anymore. I took a look at the source code and luckily it didn't use anything weird and it was possible to compile every component targeting XP. As to the UI, this one was tricky. The mkvextractgui hasn't really been modified during the latest commits and relies on old calls, so it was easy to compile. As to to the mkvmergegui (mkvtoolnixgui), in the main branch it has been update to use functions available on Windows 7 only (not even Vista!). I was kinda curious to see what they did and they basically broke Vista and XP compatibility with the GUI to implement some "fancy" W7 loading bars and a few totally useless stuff. Anyway, I re-used the code from version 10.0 for the mkvmergegui ('cause it was XP compatible) and made it work with the new components and... guess what? It works. It's gonna complain about a "mismatch" between the GUI version and the components version as soon as you launch mkvtoolnixgui, but just ignore it and use the program 'cause it's working flawlessly. I just muxed a few .ts and .mp4 files into .mkv and it worked. I even extracted subtitles from a few .mkv files and it worked. Let me know if you find bugs and please note that this is an unofficial version, so DO NOT update via the GUI and DO NOT report bugs on the official MKVToolnix site, but only here. v25.0: REMOVED v26.0: REMOVED V27.0: REMOVED V28.0: REMOVED V29.0: https://mega.nz/#!GJcmUS6R!FvWCCGWxStx5_23MSSJ8l_PC0eJOPaGFaMRtN2XTZFM

I'll take a look at the source code for the next version in a few days. Right now, I'm just gonna lay on my couch (and then on my bed), trying to digest the turkey. Merry Christmas. ^^

@VistaLover Thanks a lot as usual. Did what you said and it Reddit now stays in a language I set it to at all times. Also seems that the guy behind Aeromoon and a couple other themes updated them to be compatible with NM 28.3 (and he made the address bar a bit too bright but oh well) so if anyone's using any of these and Expose Noisy Tabs addon, it's no longer needed.

Merry Christmas to you Your "interface language selection" on old.reddit.com is stored in the form of session browser cookies ; as their name suggests (and in accordance with your findings), they remain valid for the duration of a browser session; once the browser is exited, they auto-expire... If you want your selection to persist across browser sessions, you have to somehow turn the controlling cookie(s) from session to permanent ones... The above can be accomplished via developer tools, but it's a lot easier via the use of cookie-editing extensions... I personally use CookieKeeper 1.9.3.1 (on New Moon 28.3.0a1): this specific extension is capable of editing cookie properties as well as "protecting" cookies from browser deletion; in the screenshot that follows, I have indicated for you the session cookies (that store language selection) that need to be edited and "protected": Before: After: You can find and install CookieKeeper via Classic Add-ons Archive (I posted about it a few pages back), usage info for CK can be retrieved easily online...

Basilisk 55 - Polish is set, but does not stick.

Merry X-mas/Happy Hollidays to y'all!

Thanks for letting me know. Fixed. Happy to report that Virtualbox 6.0 final works just fine in Windows Vista Thanks for the very informative post as always, VistaLover Updated the list to reflect this information:
