That's because FxESR 52 gets by default the (supported) Polymer v1 (Pm1) layout; only versions of Firefox older than 44 (Fx <=43) are being served the Classic layout, the one to be retired in March; if you use a UAO on FxESR 52 to spoof it as Fx 43, you'll get the older layout with the deprecation infobar: BTW, Firefox (Quantum) versions newer than 62 (63 =< Fx) are being served the newer Polymer v2 (Pm2) layout, which, on the outside, looks a lot like Pm1, but on the inside it's quite a different beast... FxESR 52 and the UXP browsers don't currently support it; of course FxESR 52 isn't maintained anymore, but MCP devs are already making talk about "upgrading" UXP to support Pm2 in the coming months; Google have not yet indicated for how long they'll keep supporting Pm1 Pm1 is considerably more resource hungry compared to the out-going Classic style, and this fact alone will create problems for older browsers capable of handling Pm1 but which are installed on old hardware (which seems to be the case with many XP/Vista users here... ) Of course, the forced migration to Pm1 will disable many user YT customisations, in the forms of XUL extensions, userstyles, userscripts etc., which were initially targeting the Classic layout; sadly, it'll be game over for those older browsers (on, perhaps, even older OSes/hardware) that can't cope with Pm1 at all... Some relevant links: https://support.google.com/youtube/thread/27596769 https://www.reddit.com/r/youtube/comments/eyjy4i/misc_fd_youtube_is_removing_the_old_design_soon/ https://forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=23566 Chrome 49 has adequate support for Pm1, so if OP wants to continue using it for YT past March 2020, OP must: Install the User Agent Switcher extension from GWS: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/user-agent-switcher/kchfmpdcejfkipopnolndinkeoipnoia Set a "Permanent Spoof" for youtube.com domain (aka SSUAO) and pretend to be Firefox 60 (e.g. Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; rv:60.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/60.0); then, every time a YT URL is loaded, OP will get the supported Pm1 layout without any nags about an unsupported browser: However, that workaround will, sadly, come to an end when evil Google decide to remove Pm1, too (which can be anytime, I hazard a guess and predict some time towards the end of this year) .2 points

They are other tools similar to the RunasTI by joakim I linked to earlier, the topic contains also some background/why/how the approach works: jaclaz1 point

The banner is not present in newer New Moon 28 releases because the default user agent for youtube.com references Firefox 60, so Polymer v1 appears there (and it's much slower than the old layout on my Core Duo T2400 ). As for Serpent, I simply blocked the banner's elements using uBlock Origin.1 point

I have been plagued with this nuisance also - on over a DOZEN web sites, primary finance sites. I have been using version 28.1.0a1 32bit from 2018-09-21. It's the closest I could find where the repo changes were inline with "official" version 28.2.2. To me, I've just settled with the notion of NEVER upgrading and fallen to DON'T CARE that my browser is dated 2018. Heck, my operating system is dated over a DECADE older so "to hades" with all of the security hype surrounding "weekly builds", lol.1 point

I have the same error here, I tried to open the old omni.ja file, but it detects an error. When it opens, the nsHelperAppDlg.js file is not there.1 point

I had the same problem. Solution in my case was to replace one of the javascripts in omni.ja file in Pale Moon directory (\components\nsHelperAppDlg.js) with the script from the previous version. The omni.ja file is just an ordinary zip file.1 point

Yes, the Tycho (platform) codebase was forked off Mozilla ESR 38 but (official) PM27, IIRC, comes with a native SSUAO for youtube; I don't have it handy ATM, but I believe it is advertising itself as Fx 42 to YT; low enough to make YT nag about it... I am delighted to report that YB 17.6.0.1633 (built on Chromium 58.0.3029.1633) gets served, as of this writing, the most recent YT iteration, i.e. Material Design with Polymer version 2 layout: (if you place the cursor on a video thumbnail, you get a video preview) Thus, I expect YB to work on YT for the foreseeable future; BTW, I composed this post using that very browser, so expect details of our exchange to reach President Putin's ears... (joking, of course... ) Best regards1 point

This had all happened automagically so I hadn't even noticed, but I just checked about:addons and sure enough, uBO Updater is up to version 1.6.9 (presumably to handle the new repo) and uBO itself is up to 1.16.4.16 on my browser! I was noticing the referenced WaPo article worked fine on my system, but hadn't a clue why. (Not that I was wont to complain!) But anytime I install a new browser, whether FF, Chrome, or Edge, the first thing I do nowadays is install uBO on it, so this would explain it. (Internet advertising is so out of control nowadays that you just can't go without something to tame the chaos!) I've run into a couple of sites that require (or at least work better with) service workers, so I too have them enabled in about:config, even though the legacy uBO I use doesn't need them. But I restrict service workers to the sites that do need them with a line in My Filters in the uBO dashboard: *$csp=worker-src 'none',domain=~mediafire.com|~html5test.com There are probably a few other sites I should add to that line (mega.nz perhaps?) but I haven't gotten around to it yet. Ironic to say the least, given the article's content: "Don't use Kaspersky AV because the Russians will violate your privacy; let the WaPo do it instead!" I guess Jeff Bezos doesn't think he's rich enough yet; after all, he only has his own space program.... (FWIW, Elon Musk's space program is better though ) The current legacy version is newer, but it's numbered 1.16.4.16, so AMO thinks 1.17.4 is newer and "updates" it accordingly. Perhaps now that it's separate, JustOff should consider bumping the version number to avoid this issue. Meanwhile, you can turn off automatic updates for uBO, or you can install the "uBlock Origin Updater" add-on, which will force the browser to update uBO from the legacy repo instead.1 point

yeah I do need surgical mask (requiring "EN14683 Type IIR" / "ASTM Level 3" for best protection, or "EN14683 Type IR" / "ASTM Level 2" for basic protection) indeed. I'm very pleased if you can donate surgical mask to me (and my family). You can PM me for the shipping address. and you may need to fill something other than "surgical mask" or "Personal Protective Equipment" for customs clearance (i.e. don't fill aforementioned words), for example, fill "cloth" or "printed materials" instead. So parcel(s) won't be trapped by Hong Kong customs.1 point

For the other users who need video tutorials spoon-feeding them in baby steps, the latest iPhone is also a good bet < Now, for those who love to experiment and find out thingas for themselves, for those who are game for reinstalling a zillion times with minor variations, And what about the 90% ordinary people in between those 2 extremes? Those who need a minimum of human rights and freedom and privacy, but have neither enough skills nor enough time to waste thousand hours, like a hobbyist can play with a "zillion times" experiments, just for fun? Time wasted completely unnecessarily for normal people, just because experts who could make things a lot easier with just a fingersnip often, a tiny bit effort (sometimes even just a minute), simply want to keep looking down on them? What if such ordinary people can neither get help from third persons? Yeah, they're just forced to give up - who cares. Let's laugh about them and mock them, they don't deserve better if they can't help themselves. But sometimes there will come situations where the roles are inversed.1 point

roytam1 said: > another update for having ChaCha20-Poly1305 encryption support, also fixed Font selection in NT 3.51: > http://rtfreesoft.blogspot.com/2020/01/other-browser-binaries-20190131.html > Various browsers updated having TLS 1.2, AES256-GCM-SHA384, > ChaCha20-Poly1305, AES[128|256]-GC-SHA256 support: Fantastic! So this mean that ALL those browsers got this update, on 20190131? Great! If yes, readers will need a clear hint that this new date also means those 2 builds, that they just have a wrong date in filenames: http://o.rths.ml/gpc/files1.rt/KM74-g22-20180718.win2000.7z http://o.rths.ml/gpc/files1.rt/palemoon-26.5.0-20180718.win2000.7z 2019?? No wait, it's 2020... Would really be great to have that post findable by a web SEARCH too. For stuff like... "Win2000, Win9x browsers with TLS 1.2"....? And the post could also give a hint to those people who really need such builds, but are no experts, that the main purpose is to allow access again to lots of blocked sites, which otherwise show in old browsers only the infamous killer errors "secure connection failed" or "ssl_error_no_cypher_overlap" or "security protocol which isn't enabled" or "unable to complete secure transaction" etc... again, for Google hits too. Of course, the min OS version for the various builds is also crucial for people really needing such browsers. OS-versions could also be added as search tags... Ah, sorry, and while at it, KMz154 is still missing the empty file "profile.ini" in the root folder! Just a simple text file which makes KM run in portable mode (=profiles inside). This is a huge prob, otherwise at first run it will mess already existing younger profiles (if existing). Traditionally all KM 7z builds used to be portable.1 point
