It's ironic how people decry the older operating systems like W2k Pro as outdated, yet can't even trust newer Windows 7 or Windows 10 systems far enough to let them update. These days, generally speaking, lots of new stuff sucks--because people take it for granted that new stuff is better. From that presumption, lazy thinking ensues, and movement replaces progress. So, although we still "go," we go backwards instead of forward. Windows illustrates the regression.

Today marks the 20th anniversary of the release of Windows 98 SE, which was on May 5th, 1999! The OS that changed my life forever! Share your birthday wishes and OS experiences here! Many great things awaits...

Hello Guys I noticed this thread and installed Chrome 360 .... its only been an hour or two but I noticed 2 things immediately using this browser compared to MyPal, Pale Moon, Centaury or Firefox .... its memory allocation is better and my machine still feels useable even with around 20 instances of the 360 browser open in tabs. My NForce 3 AMD PC with its 14 year old XP installation is actually utilising over 3Gb now of the installed 4Gb of memory, whereas before with the known browsers listed above, if my memory usage got to 2Gb my PC would start to go slower and slower until I closed the browser and started again. I'm amazed, what happened?

Because of .NET Framework 3.5 Assistant add-on for Firefox (KB963707) I have a suitable uninstaller where the update KB963707 is no longer available in WU / MU. Download: here

Then why post in the 9x forum? Topic moved.

I guess so, as I was taken full circle back to where I started, with the .net framework assistant still listed/disabled in my add-ons. I had assumed the add-on would be removed by this procedure. One more step was needed: “Go to C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.5\Windows Presentation Foundation\DotNetAssistantExtension and delete everything in that folder but keep the folder name…Start Firefox. The add-on should not be in the list anymore.” https://www.ghacks.net/2009/02/09/remove-microsoft-net-framework-assistant-from-firefox/ So now I am rid of it.

I just installed it on my main Windows 2000 workstation (extended kernel v3.0a) and I had many issues. I manually installed uBlock Origin v1.18.6 and it didn't work I noticed that it made connections to servers under these domains: -cloudflare.com -tencent.com -e10.net (eNom, LLC; maybe that one shouldn't be blocked) -163data.com.cn (China Telecom Group Corporation; state-owned) -akamaitechnologies.com (they also host some of M$' win10 telemetry servers if I remember correctly) Once I put them all in my hosts file the browser would crash on bootup and removing them had no effect. New Moon is still the best browser.

For me, the past behavior is the same as the current behavior. That is that clicking on the thread title takes you to the first post. [The thread title will be bold if there are posts you haven't read.] Hovering over the thread title allows you to see at least part of the first or last post in the thread, you can choose. If there are posts you haven't read, there will be a "quote balloon" marker to the left of the thread title, which will be filled in if you have participated in the thread and open if you haven't. Clicking that marker will take you to the first post that you have not read, with the "New content begins here" marker directly above that. That is the behavior I see when going through the various forum index pages. The look is a little different when using the Activity or Unread Content pages, it also includes avatars of the posters, but the effect is the same. At least the above is what I see using Win 7 and a Chrome variant browser. I don't know if that helps you or not. Cheers and Regards

Temporary and easy fix is detailed here: "Missing something? Some extensions are no longer supported" Rumour is that Firefox 66.0.4 is in close to release and will fix the issue.

Social icons and country flags fixed.
