... If you search my posts' history with "Serpent 55" as a search filter, no doubt you'll find I posted about this repeatedly... "55" as an appVersion was chosen by upstream for their ill-fated Moebius platform purely for "sensational-istic" purposes... The platform code itself was forked off a code snapshot of an early version of Mozilla Nightly 53.0a1, so not even close to release channel Firefox v53.0.x ...

I have yet to find a way, as 2019's x64 installer crashes early on (for now). And implementation of 32 bit functions for the x86 installers is forthcoming. There were no formal bundled updates until November, as things were just added in at will. So it will be impossible to do so for that period. Too busy for November to May. But now that the structure of the project is evolving, there should be one for the next release, likely in August or September.

How about a little tiny bit of context? Where I work, we fire people for clicking on "beware" links - so simply out of habit you won't get me to click on your link. I think our IT Dept calls it "spear phishing" but I could be mistaken on their terminology.

Depending on the browser you are trying to apply the patches a small question will be promted on CMD. If everything goes correctly the program will show you at the end "Press any key to continue". Press any key, open the browser and check if the translation function was restored. After all that you can delete the "trans_patch" folder. It should work without errors.

there was a recent update (my previos version was visual studio 2019 v16.4 updated to vs 2019 v16.10 (the exact version is not known so it must be between those versions) the code i used is windows xp compatible however this "build in trick" still makes my code still incompatible in the past your code useally gone to winmain() in some other codes i reconized that some code was added to my executable that actually was not needed at all so i was wondering why did my executable (what only printed MessageboxA) gone a lot bigger going after that i could understand that this code was added by something else and is executed before my code in winmain() is executed in other compilers or maybe settings? you didnt see this problem and it gone to winmain() directly then the executable was smaller too in my test executable it was just MessageboxA function and no need of executing some "other/more" code this time i had the same problem but this time it made the executable not only inefficient it also made it incompatible (to see here is that microsoft can add this code before your code and make it lets say windows 10 only "this runtime code then gets executed and says "windows 10 only" or "access denied" before your working code is executed) so i took a look what this code actually does do all begins with the function that is called before winmain() extern "C" DWORD WinMainCRTStartup(LPVOID) // <- called before winmain { __security_init_cookie // (unimportant for us) return __scrt_common_main(); // <-- calls next functions } the filename for this code is exe_winmain.cpp and useally is in a directory (or something close) called C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Professional\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.24.28314\crt\src\vcruntime\exe_winmain.cpp CRT means: C runtime, so we actually know what we deal with in my case it use a unwanted function InitializeCriticalSectionEx (that i actually use nowhere in my code but the c runtime use it) so i looked how and where it do that the code cain is as follows: calls __scrt_common_main ->__scrt_common_main_seh src\vctools\crt\vcstartup\src\eh\i386\secchk.c : (call chain) 0, __SEH_prolog4 1, __scrt_initialize_crt // -> has function __cdecl __vcrt_initialize_locks(VS 16.4works with InitializeCriticalSectionEx and InitializeCriticalSectionAndSpinCount) (VS 16.10 only work with InitializeCriticalSectionEx) -> the VS 16.4 version checks if it can use InitializeCriticalSectionEx if it cant it use InitializeCriticalSectionAndSpinCount (the code use a function called try_get_function() to do so) VC\Tools\MSVC\14.29.30037\crt\src\vcruntime\locks.cpp this is the function with more details: (static void* __cdecl try_get_function( function_id const id, char const* const name, module_id const* const first_module_id, module_id const* const last_module_id ) noexcept ) but that is only important if we want to use InitializeCriticalSectionEx, if we want we just could use InitializeCriticalSectionAndSpinCount and this part would be solved 2, __scrt_acquire_startup_lock 3, _initterm_e (dont have InitializeCriticalSectionEx yet) (then _initterm is done a second time and has InitializeCriticalSectionEx in internal) 4, _initterm <--- second time without _e the function "_initterm" has 2 functions 1 is called __guard_check_icall_fptr (this function checks if the pointer is valid and is unimportant for this case) the other function calls several functions (__xc_a beginning list of functions and __xc_z (end of functions)) the second function in list of __xc_a has InitializeCriticalSectionEx in internal and is called: static _Init_lock (is a class constructor) and leads to _Init_locks _Init_locks is in a file called "xlock.cpp" folder: VC\Tools\MSVC\14.29.30037\crt\src\stl\xlock.cpp (c code) __thiscall _Init_locks::_Init_locks() noexcept { // initialize locks if (InterlockedIncrement(&init) == 0) { for (auto& elem : mtx) { _Mtxinit(&elem); // <- next step we looking for } } } here we look at function _Mtxinit filename that contain _Mtxinit "xmtx.cpp" folder: VC\Tools\MSVC\14.24.28314\crt\src\stl\xmtx.cpp (c code) void __CLRCALL_PURE_OR_CDECL _Mtxinit(_Rmtx* _Mtx) noexcept { // initialize mutex InitializeCriticalSectionEx(_Mtx, 4000, 0); // this variant } here also is the diffrens what has been changed: void __CLRCALL_PURE_OR_CDECL _Mtxinit(_Rmtx* _Mtx) noexcept { // initialize mutex __crtInitializeCriticalSectionEx(_Mtx, 4000, 0); // variant before } the function __crtInitializeCriticalSectionEx has a check if it do use InitializeCriticalSectionEx or if it do use InitializeCriticalSectionAndSpinCount (xp compatible) extern "C" BOOL __cdecl __crtInitializeCriticalSectionEx( LPCRITICAL_SECTION const lpCriticalSection, DWORD const dwSpinCount, DWORD const Flags) { // use InitializeCriticalSectionEx if it is available (only on Windows Vista+)... IFDYNAMICGETCACHEDFUNCTION( PFNINITIALIZECRITICALSECTIONEX, InitializeCriticalSectionEx, pfInitializeCriticalSectionEx) { return pfInitializeCriticalSectionEx(lpCriticalSection, dwSpinCount, Flags); } // ...otherwise fall back to using InitializeCriticalSectionAndSpinCount. InitializeCriticalSectionAndSpinCount(lpCriticalSection, dwSpinCount); return TRUE; } so even if your entire code would just use a single MessageboxA this CRT or "C runtime" starting/calling WinMainCRTStartup beforehand makes your application still incompatible, even if your code 100 % would work noticeable is that "they" can do this not only with a limit to windows vista, 7, 8, 8.1, or 10 they can add incompatible functions to that CRT code thus you might just upgrade your VS/Compiler and your code wont work even if the code is compatible its like a check "do this computer have windows 10" -> access denied -> no code is spawned (even tho your code would work) shame to microsoft for this one (the other code i tryed has a header file that use c++20 style (it are just type converters like you do with templates) but it doesnt use any windows functions)) in that sence that is a compiler question of the c++ style (type converter) not a "missing api" question, but still that CRT used that api even tho i dont have that InitializeCriticalSectionEx in my code and to fix up different types such as handles, int, float etc. for example over a template or type converter, again is a compiler question here is the rest of the callchain (before your code is executed) 5, __scrt_release_startup_lock 6, __scrt_get_dyn_tls_init_callback 7, __scrt_get_dyn_tls_dtor_callback 8 , __scrt_get_show_window_mode 9, _get_narrow_winmain_command_line 10, WinMain(our executable/our code is then executed) <-- here begins/comes our code/programm/app so everybody can easy understand why your code got "blocked" or will just maybe in future, so we know the trick beforehand :-)

@XPerceniol - you cited in one of the 360Chrome threads that multi-process (several .exe's in the Windows Task Manager) is one of the things that you do not like about Chrome-based browsers. So I must admit, I'm a bit confused that you are attempting to bring multi-process to FF-based browsers when that support by its developers never matured anywhere near the level of Chrome development (from my understanding).

<0T> Oh I'm sorry, but I simply can't resist. I so badly want to hang on to whats left of my 40's, so I"ll pretend I don't know anything about those record things you speak of and consider myself "younger" (I'm young at heart) All kidding aside: I might take your advice re Serpent then; though I'm not afraid of trying it just out of curiosity but just to test. @dmiranda ... are you working with Serpent or Firefox with your modifications? EDIT: Sorry, I didn't read your posting above - question answered

For those, like me, where hardware is not the problem (but obstinacy in pretending to keep using XP) it makes a difference. Beyond FB, YT etc, normal pages load way faster, even when loading a bunch of tabs at the time. There is simply no comparison with st52 without e10. It is like it was with ff52 (only that with more secure software, and more available extensions/addons). I am keeping it in my profile for casual/social browsing, and as soon as I find or mod an extension for annotating webpages, for my working profile. Cheers!

FWIW I noticed a significant performance improvement on FF 52.9 ESR when I enabled multi-process mode, especially on script-heavy sites like Facebook, which had been almost unusably slow and unresponsive before.

Me neither. Although, I have just found a thread about it in the microsoft community. They have a lot of fixes, and some of them worked for some users there. I'm sure it will work for you too, @Mathwiz. Good luck on trying the solutions in that thread.

I've been testing it and even though it crashes the browser every other day (depending usage, and in particular when using concurrently with chrome derivatives) multiprocess enabled basilisk52 makes (unnecessarily) heavy scripted sites like youtube, gmail, fb and the other usual suspects playable with xul (which is quite impossible now without multiprocess); which makes me thing/hope that xul development on the multiprocess direction (and not necessarily script support -which I heavily cripple) may be a way to abort doom. After testing and experimenting as per @Mathwiz summary in the first post of this thread, I use the settings (loaded via user.js) below (tried and decided not to use the the four commented out): // MULTIPROCESS user_pref("browser.tabs.remote.force-enable", true); user_pref("dom.ipc.processCount", 4); user_pref("extensions.e10sBlocksEnabling", false); user_pref("browser.tabs.remote.autostart", true); // (FF49+) (hidden pref) //user_pref("extensions.e10sMultiBlockedByAddons", false); //user_pref("browser.tabs.remote.separateFileUriProcess", true); //user_pref("dom.ipc.process.webLargeAllocation", 4); //user_pref("browser.tabs.remote.autostart.2", true); // (FF49+) (hidden pref)

Politics (and religion) have always been forbidden topics on this forum. It was decided to leave the topic open, despite the fact that the pandemic has been politicised nearly everywhere. As long as the people who participate in this thread can post without bias and without involving politics or other things that are against the forum rules, then the thread can remain open. The freedom to speak against unjust things that are happening in our world (and on other websites/social media platforms) must be allowed in order to have a free people, they just cannot be discussed here.

Strange, I've never seen that.

@ArcticFoxie, @Humming Owl Well, it was in fact the modified V11 version. The one that opened MSFN as a default page. ".adra" is my local network behind my router. Give me a day, then I'll examine that further.

actually it is still 38ESR based, but with more and more 39-42 patches porting from ArcticFox (thanks for their hard work!)

Maybe it's "local jargon", but we always referred to 720 as "dvd quality", not as "HD". Oh, don't get me started on drink sizes! I always ask for a "tiny" and when the cashier says "We only have large, medium, and small". I reply, "Not true, you have large, gigantic, and mega-sized. Can I have a kid's size?"

It is/was the API+GUI of Mozilla Firefox's Download Manager that existed up to version 25.0.1 in the release channel (and v24.8.1 in the ESR channel); and even there, it was not the default setting, but had to be enabled via an about:config pref: browser.download.useToolkitUI;true Here is a screengrab from FxESR 24.8.1: FWIW, NASA Launch third party complete theme, on Vista SP2 32-bit, with aero turned on... TDM had its own "download history", stored in file downloads.sqlite inside the browser's profile, and was decoupled from the browser's "browsing history"... The underlying code that enabled TDM in Fx 24/25 (the default in earlier Fx versions) was finally removed in Fx 26+, in favour of an async, JS-based, Download Manager API, that integrates DM with the "Library" API; as a result, "download history" became part of "browsing history", stored in file places.sqlite inside the profile... In the screengrab below, the GUI of JS-DM (most are familiar with...) in FxESR 24.8.1, with the default setting browser.download.useToolkitUI;false How is that relevant to UXP now, I hear you ask? Well, our "beloved" Matt A. Tobin is bringing the old TDM back, at least where his Binary Outcast UXP applications (Borealis Navigator+Interlink Mail & News) are concerned: https://forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.php?p=217500#p217500 https://forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.php?p=217567#p217567 For those harbouring a liking to TDM's GUI (over the new one), one of my most favourite "legacy" extensions, Downloads Window, does its best to simulate that GUI (while the underlying engine/API remains unchanged): https://addons.basilisk-browser.org/addon/downloads-window/ https://addons.palemoon.org/addon/downloads-window/ caa:addon/downloads-window/versions (v0.6.8 is to be found here) It's a pity the original "bitbucket" source repository by author ungram has been now withdrawn...

I'm back! Sorry I've been out of sight for so long. See my profile for more info. Anyway, the Clean Flash Installer is up to 34.0.0.164175. The latest version should always be at the top of this page: https://github.com/CleanFlash/installer/releases. I have it working in IE (who cares) and Basilisk on both XP and 7. Although Flash works in Chrome up to version 87, I assume there's no hope for Chromium-based Edge on Win 7? Edge versions as far back as 77 just display a brief "not supported after December 2020" bar at the top. Doesn't even stay onscreen long enough to read! Apparently Edge has its own time-bomb independent of the ones in Flash 32. The batch file version of Clean Flash is more recent than the installer version: 34.0.0.175. It's near the top of this page (scroll down to the Windows version): https://github.com/darktohka/clean-flash-builds/releases

I do not know any explorer show as a web page. There is right click on desktop area then Web tab then 'show web content on my active desk top' where you can add web pages or photos. It might be a third party app if it is a right click on Start button context menu.

Laughable at. However the "you'll keep getting windows 95 updates" bit reminds me of an old mishap that I find hard to laugh at even now. Back at my beginnings as a Win9x user I was installing Win95 and later on 98SE quite often on the old 486 IBM ValuePoint, either due to hardware change, various viruses or whatever other reasons. At some point - I believe it was with Win95 but I'm not 100% sure anymore after 20+ years - during one of the installations I actually paid attention to the various screens advertising the "mighty features" that version had over "previous" version. Wish I hadn't. One of those screens mentioned Plug 'n play and I clearly remember it saying one could even plug in a card while Windows was running. A very unfortunate choice of words. Although I did have enough experience with hardware, and something at the back of my mind kept saying I shouldn't take that statement literally, some devil kept whispering in my ear I should try it. So when the OS installation finished I simply took my ESS1869 ISA soundcard and plugged it in with the computer on and Windows running - exactly as advertised. Needless to say the OS got screwed up and that wonderful card got instantly fried. Could never find another one like that (it had a built-in IDE controller that was crucial for adding a HDD larger than the max 528MB accepted by the BIOS considering the mobo only had one IDE channel occupied by main HDD and a CD-ROM, and it was correctly detected as Sound Blaster Pro by all of the games I was testing back then). So yeah, the 9x team back then had quite a lot of vision but they also made mistakes, some of them with tragic consequences for poor users. I suppose whoever tested Windows 11 upgrade on a Win95 system in the picture above would not wait for any Windows 95 updates anymore...

So expressing discontentment with forced vaccinations is also forbidden? I see the censorship has already hit this thread. Freedom of speech is being restricted wherever you look, and that's a BIG, very BIG issue at large.

In order to use Cisco Webex on Windows XP you have to 1) Download the modified v12 version from this thread, extract it with 7z in a folder you want and press escape only the first time you open it (download link from first post: https://www.mediafire.com/file/pjthbixelfylwhd/360EE_12.0.1592.0_Modified.7z/file) 2) Install this extention by going to this site: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/user-agent-switcher-for-c/djflhoibgkdhkhhcedjiklpkjnoahfmg 3) Right click on the icon that appears up right after installing it and click on settings. 4) Add a new user agent string so that webex.com thinks you are logging in from a Windows 10 device like this one that works from me: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/91.0.4472.164 Safari/537.36 To do that, after clicking on settings, copy paste the above user agent string on the field "New User-Agent String", put a name on the field "New User-agent name" and a number on the field "Indicator Flag". I just put 1. Press ADD 5) Go to https://signin.webex.com just click on the icon of the extention, select chrome and then the name of your user agent string. The page will refresh. If you want to deactivate it, just select chrome and then default. This will enable sites to see that you are using a Windows XP computer again. Note: The sign in button does not work for me on webex.com with this version of 360 so i log in from this url: https://signin.webex.com/

Well, I got it working on basilisk52, and works well. Most extensions do work (even if showing non-compatible) if installed in a fresh profile. One issue I have, however, is that I cannot use an old extension I use daily: internote-3.0.2-fx (https://sourceforge.net/projects/internote/files/internote/3.0/). Has anyone tried it in basilisk52 with forced multiprocess? Any clue on how to make it work? Thanks!

It only supposed to work if you have "vulkan" software on your PC . Any 360 users have Vulkan installed ? Do any of you use this "vulkan" ? Do any of you even know what that is ? If no, I'd describe it as yet another bloatware (my persoonal opinion , perhaps someone likes it , I dunno , so no offence ) . It is usually bundled with Nvidia drivers among other bloatware in the driver package and it is installed without your consent . This is one the bad omens , usually pointing out to malware/adware/spyware. "NOTE: SwiftShader's OpenGL ES frontend is no longer supported, and will eventually be removed.

Good job ! Even though I do not use any of these , I took the options out of your 12th version to use with v.13 and the browser loads even faster ! Thank you ! You're are absolutely right about russians , they are incompetent , to say the least , and they broke that functionality. It was a very wise decision to make your own version from the original ! EDIT : You may do the same and save time when modding v.13 . Also , the skin files are swappable.

Never had any issues installing XP from USB using WinSetupFromUSB. Choose your USB Stick, check 'Auto Format', select NTFS. Check Windows XP, point to unpacked XP setup files, and go!

Why ? Because they just called themselves "ungoogled" ?

Here it is mentioned videos around those length fails if you are blocking some google domains (I suppose after all that time they feel authorized to show you some ad). Otherwise on page 22 of this thread, some dude was talking about disabling webm support. There's no reason minute 999 should be heavier than minute 2 then. p.s. it's not like firefox html5 hardware acceleration had ever been working on any Windows before 7 anyway

Yes but the cloud gives access to your personals and sensitives to those that host them...

I know what you mean. I've always bought the "Ultimate" most expensive editions. I stopped spending money with Microsoft entirely and I can assure you they're not making money off data uploaded from me. "Starve 'em out" seems to be the only possible strategy. -Noel

The very first thing you must do is download and install the Windows Performance Tools Kit (x86 for 32bit, x64 package for 64bit) - choose the "complete" option during install. Next, open a command prompt, and type the proper command for the trace you'd like to execute: For boot tracing: xbootmgr -trace boot -noPrepReboot -traceFlags BASE+CSWITCH+DRIVERS+POWER -resultPath C:\TEMP For shutdown tracing: xbootmgr -trace shutdown -noPrepReboot -traceFlags BASE+CSWITCH+DRIVERS+POWER -resultPath C:\TEMP For Standby+Resume: xbootmgr -trace standby -traceFlags BASE+CSWITCH+DRIVERS+POWER -resultPath C:\TEMP For Hibernate+Resume: xbootmgr -trace hibernate -traceFlags BASE+CSWITCH+DRIVERS+POWER -resultPath C:\TEMP replace C:\TEMP with any temp directory on your machine as necessary to store the output files All of these will shutdown, hibernate, or standby your box, and then reboot to finish tracing. Once Vista does reboot, log back in as necessary and once the countdown timer finishes, you should now have some tracing files in C:\TEMP. If asked, upload or provide the file(s) generated in C:\TEMP (or the directory you chose) on a download share for analysis.

Yes. As a matter of fact, you can do it with any system configuration type. You just need to know where your Vista/XP boot files are. Your boot files will be on your active partition. Just go to your active partition and copy the boot files mentioned to your recovery partition. For those who know what we're talking about, there is no need to modify BCD. As a matter of fact, you should NOT modify BCD with bcdedit. Reason is, it doesn't matter where you put BCD, it will know where your Vista is installed. Thus, copying it from active partition to recovery partition won't make a difference to the way BCD finds your Vista partition, since it relies on GUID.
