Vista without any doubt.

It won't go back to the XP forum. It was past time it got it's own forum. "Older NT-OSes" denote those which have sub-forums in the "Older NT-OSes" forum. 7 isn't there yet (it still has too many users and too many software support for that). Nor is 8.0, because it's discussed in the same forum as 8.1, which isn't yet EoS.

@Dave-H Would it be possible to pin the pointer to this in the XP forum?

What you're seeing here is nothing more than custom drawn frame by the program displaying the help page. If you want Windows 7 theme on Windows 8.1, try this one: https://deviantart.com/damonkeyoncrack/art/Aero7-V2-for-Windows-8-8-1-429412929

I guess it has nothing to do with Windows 8. I got same hidden "aero" theme "working" on Windows XP using build 7000's installer https://imgur.com/a/tFNX1S9

It also leaves two empty "Mozilla" folders, an empty "mozilla-temp-files" folder, and two empty "Moonchild Productions" folders. But since all shadow folders are always EMPTY, I just leave them be as they are created every time you run the portable loader.

I used this and works! Though I did have a few minor issues. The portable version leaves an empty directory "AppData\Local\Moonchild Productions\Pale Moon" or "Local Settings\Moonchild Productions\Pale Moon" for XP where I need to manually delete it after I close the browser. Does anyone see any residual files or directories anywhere else that should be manually deleted?

Just read the thread and realized no one answered your question! Firefox was the last major browser to drop Windows XP support. By that time, the last official versions of IE and Chrome for XP were hopelessly outdated, so FF 52.9ESR became the default choice of WinXP users for Web browsing. Then, Moonchild Productions forked a very recent version of FF, 52.6ESR, for their Basilisk browser, and used its UXP engine for the next version of their Pale Moon browser (28). MCP disabled Windows XP support in their forks, but @feodor2 and @roytam1 were able to build XP-compatible versions of both of MCP's browsers. With these, XP users were able to continue browsing the modern Web. For several more years, those browsers were indeed the best choice for Windows XP. Unfortunately, Google is playing "Monopoly" these days, developing new Web "standards" almost daily, that are first supported by new versions of their Chrome browser. Even Micro$oft (no stranger to the game of Monopoly itself) has jumped on the Chrome bandwagon, abandoning both IE and their original Edge browser in favor of a Chromium-based version of Edge. Firefox is the only major browser still using a different engine, but even it looks and feels a lot like a clone of Chrome these days. So today, the UXP-based browsers are starting to show their age. These days, the browser best able to handle the modern Web for Windows XP users is probably 360EE, an XP-compatible Chromium browser developed in China. But the XP-compatible forks of MCP's browsers are still popular, especially with those still trying to resist assimilation into the Goog Apologies for the number of USA-based pop-culture references....

You are absolutely right. Telegram is directly controlled by FSB which is now widely considered as direct successor of KGB, or basically, renamed KGB. Because it is spectacle for the weak mind and simpletons so they continue to believe that Telegram is independent messaging system. When In reality it is under full direct control of FSB. Here is explanation from insider who was chief editor on russian government run propaganda television - VGTRK. He tell that VGTRK use Telegram starting from ~2015 year as secured from foreign countries control russian messaging system. He explains that Telegram is FSB controlled. And that FSB have Encryption keys and technical access.

There's also tik-tok and telegram where the russian FSB mines data and trains their AI , face recognition and the such.

Because in the commie contries they would be [insert any flight of your imagination here]. I would say , at least , get arrested and sent to labour camps . I'm pretty sure they know this already , but will never admit it ! The whole West , [not only Europe] needs not to depend on commies for the energy. Most inportant , not to support them by purchasing resources. P.S. Really liked your reply , not only this part !

I had spent several winters in Norway. (from mid 80's and up to very early 90's) . The temp was more like up to -33C max in Jan of 1993 ! So Norway is much warmer ?

Do not forget to save 347.25 and do not lose it , it's the one you can always revert to.

Firefox's libcubeb has been updated and the "Youtube video freeze" fix is now officially part of mozilla-central: https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/c7768090c505715c543b2a71e42b07fcb905d7a9. Thanks again @roytam1 for submitting it! Let it not be said that MSFN hasn't contributed to upstream!

What I do is to run two different profiles using https://addons.thunderbird.net/en-us/firefox/addon/profileswitcher/. The addon's interface is half broken: it won't show profile names, but it will make the profile manager pop up, then you can run a profile with no multiprocess along side one with it, when needed.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I think more or less everyone with any interest in this latest round of the drama is already pretty exhausted from reading and talking about it, be it here or elsewhere. My idea was that since these browser threads here are really intended to be about development and support, any future upstream drama related discussion can be taken to the drama thread, so it doesn't take over this one the way it has occasionally happened in the past.

I do! I still have my Commodore 64 - and it still works!

And not the classes... eh? Anyone here remember Jack Tramiel?

Yes, it would be enlightening for him to witness a real terrorist attack... Also, in my opinion, he has a narcissistic personality disorder. If the Pale Moon team allows him to go on like this, I fear that even the few people that still use this browser will leave.
