That is just a video, why not post a link to the site? https://www.grc.com/x/ne.dll?bh0bkyd2 Any computer with a properly configured firewall can pass this test. I don't see why the OS matters.

@VistaLover thanks for you very detail long support post, you mostly right. I test pushbullet-316-an+fx.xpi its work fine in 38esr firefox, i download it from first post, unfortunately its doesnt normally work in NM 27 like you say (and like i say to =) ), but in my opinion its even good, because i can use web Push when i need it, and its dont take system resource of my poor Pentium III )

Does this help? "It seems I've been able to fix it by adding permissions in the dcom service directly."

Oh no, not this awful flat interface. Better Win 3.11 theme than this.

Is this what you're looking for?

@S75: Welcome to the MSFN forums First thing you should ask yourself is whether you actually expect any legacy (XUL) version of the Pushbullet extension to work today; this extension relies on third-party infrastructure (secure logins to their servers, etc.) and they may have blocked old "unsupported" versions of their addon, on old "unsupported" browsers, on old "unsupported" OSes (you get my drift...) from even connecting to their service (for "security" reasons, no doubt... ). The latest version 347 of their Firefox extension is still available, but - as expected - in WebExtensions format, not compatible with New Moon 27/28, but possibly compatible with FirefoxESR 52.9.1 and Serpent 52/55: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/pushbullet/versions/ In the remote possibility any XUL Pushbullet version is still functional, then CAA extension caa:addon/pushbullet/versions reveals that the latest legacy version 316 dates from Dec 28th 2015, while the last "supposedly" NM27 compatible version 179[.1-signed] dates from Feb 22nd 2015 The Tycho platform (forked from FxESR 38) on which NM27 is built doesn't support Jetpack SDK legacy extensions, and that was a decision made at the time by the Moonchild team of developers; so you can't directly install such extensions in NM27, as the browser itself warns you about... The tool pointed to by @IntMD was developed to mitigate that imposed limitation (among several others), but it does not work universally on all types of JetPack SDK extensions - don't ask me why, I'm not an XUL extension developer. Force-installing an officially unsupported extension via the aid of the MTT always carries an inherent risk of browser profile corruption! Do keep this in mind and act accordingly (i.e. back up!). Second, if the unsupported extension is force-installed (in [TEST] mode) via said tool, you have no reassurance it will function as designed... I have run some tests on my old NM27 version here, I first downloaded to disk file pushbullet-179-fx.xpi, selected it via MTT (about:addons => Moon Tester Tool 1.2.0 => Options => Select file...) and it was still impossible to install I then tried to do the same with latest legacy version 316, which claims to support Fx 38.0a1 - 49.*; since Tycho is forked from FxESR 38, we stand a fair chance of it being NM27 compatible; following the same procedure, file pushbullet-316-an+fx.xpi did manage to install successfully - but I can't vow about its usability... OT: I wrote this post with NM27 that I seldom use now (UXP forks are mostly used here) and discovered the MSFN post editor has several minor issues (absent on UXP) - but is otherwise functional...

Yeah, the only branding difference in all of the XP derivatives is the classic login/winver banner. Everything else is the same. I don't see why one would vouch for the enabling of the welcome screen in a business environment though. It doesn't easily work with domains. Embedded devices may be a different story, as there are other pictures circulating of the welcome screen on payphones. Perhaps they were using XP Pro for Embedded Systems, which appears to be XP Pro, welcome screen by default and all, just with special licensing.

You can enable that login screen on POSready, and probably the other derivatives, too. IIRC it has normal XP branding.

Windows XP Spotted on a cash register! not my picture but when i saw it i knew i needed to post it here!

Thanks for the info, yet from the snapshot image I see this is another "cloud" bookmark service, not to be invoked from the app menu.

OK, so that's Quantum-based with the "Photon" interface, right? My first thought was, "that couldn't run on XP;" but: On Windows 7, it certainly looks like Photon (and a bit too much like M$ Edge). I can't test it on XP until Monday; in the meantime, can anyone confirm? https://www.comodo.com/home/browsers-toolbars/icedragon-browser.php (Warning: a dialog box will pop up offering to install "Comodo cloud Antivirus" and change your home page and default search engine to Yahoo on all supported browsers. You must click the teeny "Decline" button if you don't want to do that. Seems a bit PUPpy to me....) A Quantum browser would have drawbacks; the chief ones being no legacy extensions and no NPAPI plug-ins (except Flash). Still, a Quantum browser on XP would be quite a feat.

different technologies. if you can make rust creating XP compatible binaries, and if you can make firefox > 53 XP compatible, please tell me how to do that.

That crisis was resolved quickly, everything back to normal. What was the glitch?

so you're using Serpent builds? for Serpent there is a glitch that is fixed. you may try redownloading.

Thank you for the suggestion VistaLover. I think it should work. Another thought: Not as on desktop I prefer to use Serpent 52, I can try various browsers on my Android 9 phone. Is there any other Android browser that is known to have import|export bookmarks feature? I also searched other sync addons, but nothing satisfactory. Raindrop.io has an old version that could install on Serpent 52, but it is a CPU hog and has bug in login forever. p.s. Importing feature for Firefox Android has been requested 7 years ago https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=837229

Guys, please respect a bit the privacy of other people :-( Unauthorized photos in general are bad enough, but close-up mugs on the public web are a complete No-Go. And doesn't even make any sense at all when the subject are just "screen" shots. Cutting out parts of a photo with any simple, basic app, like IrfanView or even MS-paint, takes just a minute, and NO skills!

Very. This part of New York State has a lot of Timmies. They built a Dunkin Donuts in town a few years ago, it gets almost no business. Tim's is packed to the road every morning. I hear they don't do so well most other places in the 'States, though. Might be how close I am to the Canadian border having to do with everyone here preferring Canada's Favorite Coffee.

How popular is Tim Hortons over there? Here the inner part of the cup lids is now maple leaf-shaped! They never attempted this gimmicky patriotic stuff when the company was actually Canadian-owned. Anyway, I announced that the operators of my college's cafeteria were moving away from XP in May. Indeed when the current semester started the XP box appeared to be in a state of network boot failure, presumably. They fixed everything a few weeks ago and now the cashier ignores the Windows 10 POS machine in favour of the XP one!

What one likes to do and what is actually feasible is, sadly, often quite different things... This issue has been brought up several times in the past, most recently in another XP thread: My own reply there: https://msfn.org/board/topic/180280-automatic-user-agent-spoofing-in-firefox-51/?do=findComment&comment=1171254 TL;DR: if you'd like to sync between the android version of Firefox (now in Quantum version 69?) and roytam1's Serpent 52.9.0 on a Windows [XP] PC, then it simply isn't possible anymore! You can reportedly still sync between Mobile Firefox and Firefox ESR 52.9.1 and, at least in theory, between Mobile Firefox and Serpent 55.0.0 If a mobile version of current Pale Moon 28 were officially available, you could, in theory, sync between Mobile PM28 and official Basilisk (52)/official Pale Moon 28 (desktop) - and New Moon 28; since Serpent 52.9.0 has retained support for WEs, sync between it and PM28 might only be partial ; but official mobile PM28 doesn't exist; please read these following relevant exchanges in the official PM forum: https://forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.php?p=174199#p174199 (and the posts after that one...) https://forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.php?f=39&t=21179 Regards

Not the best photo quality but the auto parts shop in town is still running XP on one of their PCs.Though (out of picture) the PC is now resting in their counter instead of directly under the monitor as it previously was, the last time I posted about it. The picture is actually from about 2 months ago and I forgot to share it until now. They still are running XP now though!

Oh, it doesnt? My knoweldge is limited on cloudflare. Now I know. Looking deeper I see. You need to own the parent domain to protect the subdomains.

cloudflare doesn't accept registering with sub-domain.

I have never trusted those "free" hosting services like freenom, infinity free. Like @i430VX said you should try strangled.net

I personally would -NOT- recommend using a "cloud storage" option, as, while they may be free(ish), it will make downloading a lot harder and slower for those on slow computers, as opposed to Good Old HTTP(s). And for me and @Mathwiz cloud storage options would bring forward a whole world of hurt for the browser downloader/installers we Maintain. @roytam1, have you considered getting a free (forever) subdomain from a service such as strangled.net? I used to use it before I bought the i430vx.net domain and I had no issues with it.

It's dawning on me only now what a great business model this actually is: Domain marketeers give out cheap or free domains, but obviously still own them all themselves too, and can still do whatever they want with them! So they can just wait a bit until one of those domains becomes popular and successful, then just take it away from the supposed 'owners' again, pretending some invented or peanut reason, with no chance to appeal - and now start earning money with it themselves! Either put up nasty stuff themselves, or redirect, or why not SELL the successful domain now for bigger money to any really FRAUD or malware spreaders! While the true domain owners are left wondering if they may have done anything wrong, and what exactly.... What an irony. The implications are absolutely horrible: Evil new owners of those domains can put up whatever they want on those former trustworthy domains, while clueless visitors still keep reading in old articles and posts and archived website versions that this site is a GOOD and trustworthy one! So they visit and trust and unknowingly download now dangerous stuff :-( With greedy new owners usually not putting up a big message telling visitors that the ownership has changed. And visitors being just lucky if it's as obvious as in this case - but who knows for how long yet. I suppose future new owners can just as well restore former original linked download paths, just with exchanged file contents - GRRR After all such fake or pretended identities (legal or not) happen all the time now with all sorts of former great products and names :-( See it all the time in RealLife that names and logos of once great, now long since dead traditional companies, are now (ab)used even legally to sell products from completely different countries and producers and qualities. And of course in the software world too. Just remembered for example how the successful Stylish addon was finally sold to someone else, who probably seemed trustworthy to the former creator, but shortly after the seller just sold it again to a spying company etc. Actually a popular strategy of those companies, just take over former good products and secretly turn the new versions into spying tools. And recently an article about LOTS of new Firefox addons with stolen identities: https://www.ghacks.net/2019/05/29/another-malware-wave-hit-the-mozilla-firefox-extensions-store/ I'm opting for giving up as soon as possible the 3rd domain of this sort! Before it becomes too popular too, and "try" to get a less endangered one. Sigh, until some day all currently trustworthy resellers may be sold too, as usual today :-(

Got some time to update the repository and also organize it: Replaced Monthly Rollup with the new KB4512476 (located on the root directory of the repository) Added Security Only Update, KB4517301 (located in the folder "/Security Only (Post August 2018)") Replaced Internet Explorer Cumulative Update with KB4511872 (located in the folder "/Security Only (Post August 2018)") NEW Added instructions on how to install .NET Framework 4.7.2 on the "/Extras" folder NEW Added a Reg file to enable TLS 1.1 and 1.2 after installing KB4019276 located on the "/Extras" folder NEW Reorganized the old 2017-2018 individual security updates so they're easier to manage, removing every superseded update and putting them all in one folder. Check them out for yourself! https://mega.nz/#F!txxRyLzC!1vBMGzMHiL864f3bl1Rj1w This was a slow month for updates (makes my job a lot easier). Hope the repository has been helping everyone
