  1. I have to concede that was quite a kind gesture. For all I say against you, I'm VERY impressed. Yet oddly enough, I'm more of the same mindset as you are towards continued XP use. Nonetheless, it was a very kind gesture you made towards this crew. Cheers and Merry Christmas!

KMG76) use: general.useragent.compatMode (INT) 0 = goanna + PM 1 = goanna + gecko + PM 2 = goanna + gecko + PM + Firefox No harm in setting all 3 prefs at once, the browsers will just ignore prefs they don't know

  4. Sometimes, the problem of the uBlock0-legacy toolbar button going AWAL after a browser restart, especially on browsers that also support Web Extensions, can be mitigated by setting (in about:config): extensions.ublock0.forceLegacyToolbarButton;true The "LegacyToolbarButton" of "legacy" uB0 might better co-exist in the toolbar with adjacent buttons from other XUL extensions!

  5. Adobe's online installer isn't a Trojan AFAIK; it's only problem is that it doesn't work on XP. As for Avast, I'm aware of their snooping: As I hinted in the last line, sometimes that's the price of a "free" product. So they bumped the revision up to 68.9.... No idea why @caliber wants to be version 2 though; that's pretty a old FF version.... I'm still using version 60.9 on my user agent; most sites don't seem to complain about an "outdated dinosaur browser" as long as they think you're running a post-Quantum version. Must have been changed by July 19; that version reports Basilisk/20190719 In the 20190719 build, toggling it false has no effect: you still get Basilisk/20190719. But by build 20191115, toggling it false works: you get Basilisk/52.9.0. So they must have fixed it somewhere between those two points. I doubt many sites check for a "Basilisk" UA segment, but there may be a few.

  6. It is true. The online installer downloads and launches, and on Win 7 it runs fine. But on XP this happens: The offline installers at the links @Bersaglio posts work fine on XP.

  7. hmm, this appears to be 7/8: http://en.kremlin.ru/events/president/news/62124/photos/62208 The systray area looks kinda like Luna, but the start button? the icons don't really look like XP to me either. Or he is just proficient at skinning XP. He always seemed like a win2k guy to me. Anyway I saw XP in a dry cleaner's shop on Friday, located in one of the halls leading out of Central Station in Montreal. As it was the evening rush hour things were moving along briskly so I couldn't take a photo.

  8. Apparently Vlad' isn't too worried about hacking. Vladimir Putin reportedly runs an outdated version of Windows on his computer, which is vulnerable to hacking https://www.yahoo.com/news/vladimir-putin-reportedly-runs-outdated-222037162.html

  9. I do see your point. However, CVE-2019-0708 | Remote Desktop Services Remote Code Execution Vulnerability only mentions one mitigation.

  10. ... However, works OK on Windows Vista SP2 32-bit: As posted already, the devs themselves claim: It appears the app only checks for the presence (or absence) of a certain M$ update (for WS2008SP2 it's KB4499180); myself, I had already disabled some time ago the "Routing and Remote Access" Windows service... ; also achievable via a GUI setting:

  12. I got some ideas for branding.. Pale Moon could be called Whistler after the Codename for Windows XP Basilisk could be called Freestyle the Codename for Windows XP Media Center Edition because of the extra media features and Australis UI Borealis could be called Neptune the Codename for a developmental predecessor of Windows XP Interlink could be called Lonestar the Codename for Windows XP TabletPC Edition (writing, email, get it?) These are all UXP based applications for Windows XP and there you go a theme for all your forks of them. OH just call Basilisk 55, call it the codename for the repo.. Moebius/Mobius. Good name at any rate. Again for the four UXP applications.. I am willing to do the work for you, get em all in one repo, do the branding (yes I will keep the appdata paths as they are to avoid profile issues) and gift wrap it for you for Christmas. What do you say? EDIT: Thank you for removing the official branding from the modified-uxp repository. ALSO, if you go forward with this I will list you on thereisonlyxul.org in a special section for Windows XP users.
