Thanks! I'll be sure to download the next Serpent 55 update once you post it. Does this affect any other platforms, such as UXP? If so I'll download those too. I looked at the code you linked to, and it looked pretty straightforward. There's a hard-coded list of `bad' ports, and you can add more ports to the list with the network.security.ports.banned pref, and/or remove ports from the list with the network.security.ports.banned.override pref. So it was quite strange that it wouldn't work no matter how I set those prefs!

In other forum reply boxes, it's as easy as clicking the </> button in the toolbar above then entering CSS to be applied, but I tried that then "previewed" my post and it doesn't seem to work here. There's a special "format" I'm sure, I actually edited by Stylus sheet for MSFN to undo @InterLinked's replies to look "normal". I'm not a fan. But yeah, it is "cool" the first time you see it, but I prefer a more "normalized" experience when reading the forum. Long Live Stylus

The simple and concise version: I hate the modern Internet. The long version: Just about every imaginable aspect of it seems to demand infinite RAM and CPU cycles, and for what? To do the EXACT same things websites did 20 years ago (via Flash and, yes, ActiveX)?! And these sites managed to do what they did at about the same speeds sites do them now, with 1/10th the available resources! (the average PC in 2001 had probably 256 MB of RAM and 20 or so GB of disk storage, which is nothing by modern standards). And Google? It seems to me they're leveraging their immense size and reach to remake the Internet in their image (proprietary and exclusionary), simply because they can. And they pass it off as an improvement?? And don't even get me started about Facebook, one of the other major evils of the Internet industry... *grumble* What would be nice is if someone created a new browser, which incorporates a sensible, standard UI (something PM-like would be nice, but FF 5x.x would be okay too) and a light weight, efficient rendering engine which is highly compatible with Chrome where needed, but completely open with as little telemetry as possible (undoubtedly, there will be sites that require telemetry as a "feature," so this hypothetical browser would have to "emulate" enough of it to keep the site happy, but without the security risks). This browser should be cross-platform, and it should be backwards compatible as far back as reasonably possible by using basic APIs and simple runtimes wherever possible (think Mac OS back to 10.6 and Windows to at least XP SP2, but ideally XP RTM and 2000). If anyone wants to start this project, count me in as one of your first customers!! c

OK I think I found the root of issue, and a fix is pushed.

Thanks, that means really a lot to me! Hope so.
