It's bug 1737470. From Mozilla: Emphasis in original. MailNews and IceDove (and Navigator and IceApe, which include them) are likely to be affected, but not pure Web browsers like Mozilla's Firefox, MCP's Basilisk and Pale Moon, or @roytam1's builds of them. anyway they're merged from https://hg.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla-esr91/rev/b6173cd78c9d522f2e3257c408933db4f9cedc13 and will be there in next build

It's bug 1737470. From Mozilla: Emphasis in original. MailNews and IceDove (and Navigator and IceApe, which include them) are likely to be affected, but not pure Web browsers like Mozilla's Firefox, MCP's Basilisk and Pale Moon, or @roytam1's builds of them. Serpent 52 runs fine on Win 7, so I expect it would run fine on Win 8 also. It's basically Basilisk with support for Win XP/Vista, WebExtension add-ons, multiprocess mode, and container tabs retained. MCP is canceling Basilisk but I don't think they're canceling UXP, so Serpent 52 should continue to benefit from UXP improvements. I expect addons.basilisk-browser.org to go away though, so that site might be worth archiving while we can.

If you mean restore site-specific user-agent overrides to FF 52.9.1, this old post explains the trick:

When time permits, I'll hard-code out the default search engines. This will add a "fail-safe fall-back" of sorts, but I still would not suggest running ANY browser (mine or otherwise) without a "loader".

Thanks for that link, it works perfectly. I already had those two files created to lock in media.hardware-video-decoding.failed to false so it was real easy. Wish I knew about that hack earlier after spending several hours testing different addons to finally get one that worked. :--)

Agreed! The browser will create registry entries "while" the browser is running. But the loader deletes them when you exit. Humming Owl's releases write to the registry and those entries stay forever, I'm not a fan of that route. Again, I was kinda unaware some of you guys were NOT using the loader - I don't suggest not using the loader. I almost throw my computer out the window when Humming Owl's "nag screen" pops up when you close the last tab for the first time in a new profile - very confusing, do I hit OK, do I hit Continue, do I hit the Escape key on the keyboard? Don't recall what the button choices are on that "nag screen", I just know the ears turn red with hate every time I see it.

My Windows XP Professional x64 Edition VL Workstation (Desktop Preview). Computer Name: Majestic White Tiger. Tis a beautiful system to say the least, it has taken a great deal of energy and time resolving the many challenges along the way though. Not to mention the rather insane amount of money poured into it. (Everything works well now). Yet, such is very much so worth it for myself, as this has been a dream build of mine since more than a decade ago! I forgot XP x64 only seems to see 32 physical cores and 64 logical cores. Yet, here I am pushing the very limits of XP x64; and thus my dream has still come true even if I am not utilizing all 44 cores and 88 threads.

Continuing the energy crisis topic : German energy policy baffles beyond belief ! As gas prices soar + Russia squeezes supply, Germany will close 3 of its remaining 6 nuclear plants before 2021 ends. The last three to be closed in 2022. In 2010 17 nuke stations = 25% German electricity. Now it’s 12%, soon to be zero ! And what’s filled the gap? The "marvellously" clean fossil fuel known as coa ! By H1 of this year coal = top source of German electricity - 25% v 22% from wind, 9% solar, 12% nukes. Now Germany intends to be much more reliant on Russian gas. Nuke-power France emits half CO2 emissions/capita than soon to be non-nuke Germany. One-year forward German electricity prices = €300/MWH. Average in last decade = €50. Really good idea to close remaining nuke capacity. In the meantime : Naftogaz CEO accuses Russia of using gas as a geopolitical weapon : https://www.cnbc.com/2021/09/24/europe-energy-crisis-naftogaz-accuses-russia-of-using-gas-as-a-geopolitical-weapon.html Germany also cleared a medievil forrest to expand the biggest open cast coal mine in Europe and in the same month criticised Brazil for not stopping the rainforrest fires. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/stories-48931062 Looks like Russia funded the lobbyists calling for the German government to close all their nuclear power stations after the Fukushima disaster. Russia knows exactly what it’s doing.

Wishing you all the very best for the rest of this year ... Sending you all my love and support ... please appreciate what you have and hold on tightly :) -Sal

Maybe this is a good opportunity to go to confession... I went to confession recently, and I feel much better now, as if all that I was carrying on my back suddenly disappeared! And on Sunday I will take communion! And you do what your conscience tells you.

@Humming Owl I have put the "master_preferences" file in the main folder next to the "360chrome.exe" file. Can also be used for registry entries (*.cmd): @ECHO OFF Reg Add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\Applications\360chrome.exe" /ve /t REG_SZ /d "360Chrome" /f 1>NUL Reg Add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\Applications\360chrome.exe" /v "FriendlyTypeName" /t REG_SZ /d "360Chrome" /f 1>NUL Reg Add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\Applications\360chrome.exe\DefaultIcon" /ve /t REG_SZ /d "%ProgramFiles%\360EE Chrome\360chrome.exe,0" /f 1>NUL Reg Add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\Applications\360chrome.exe\shell" /ve /t REG_SZ /d "open" /f 1>NUL Reg Add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\Applications\360chrome.exe\shell\open\command" /ve /t REG_EXPAND_SZ /d "\"%ProgramFiles%\360EE Chrome\360chrome.exe\" --user-data-dir=\"%%"UserProfile"%%\Local Settings\Application Data\360EE Chrome\" -- \"%%1\"" /f 1>NUL Reg Add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\Applications\360chrome.exe\shell\open\ddeexec" /ve /f 1>NUL PAUSE EXIT

You didn't specify software or hardware so i say Microsoft mouse from 1983. Anyone who says it is bad they do not understand how x and y axis based input devices are the future. Also can your fancy IBM PS/1 with PC-DOS and keyboard play piano on screen? No. Maybe I should not joke here but that question is super vague and kinda makes no sense. Pick one MS product to like is kinda strange . Maybe rephrase whole thing and also mods could move this to different category since this is not related to windows 11 and maybe you can get more sensible answer to more senisble question

That's a TALL order for XP. Vista would be relatively easier, however not easy, and maybe not even fun. For example, the GTX 1000 series has NO XP support, and Vista drivers exist, however their performance is crippled (I believe DirectX performance, specifically) as for the other hardware, I cannot speak for specifically, but generally, 4th gen was the last generation that played nicely with XP, and 3rd gen the last for vista (in most cases 4th has vista stability issues.) It seems that you have 9th gen.

I disagree with this one. I got athlon64 that lacks sse3 but does very decently as guest pc with windows 7. Modern sites produce no issues with it (expect new youtube layout). Some peoples even use win95 today and I see no problem on that.

One of the many reasons why having a chrome based browser monopoly is bad. Feels like we are back in the bad old ie6 days.
