Firefox is my main browser. It was formerly Pale Moon, but the bloated web started to take its toll and some websites refused to work properly. In many respects, Google Chrome has become the new Internet Explorer and it isn't hard to come across a website that only properly works under Chrome. I refuse to be subjected to Google's spyware where possible, however, so I only use it when absolutely necessary (and specifically - Ungoogled Chromium, at that). Firefox is far from perfect. Their Quantum update and rebrand seemed to have been done in an attempt of attracting Chrome users while in reality only serving to alienate their existing user base. Firefox simply can't compete with Google's monopoly over the web. It will never be the fastest browser (many suspect non-Chrome browsers are purposefully throttled on sites such as YouTube), but it was at one point the clear winner in terms of features and customization. I could go on, but you probably get the idea. With that being said, my wishful hope is that Mozilla understands the importance of keeping Windows 7 & 8 support. I couldn't possibly know what their usage statistics on those operating systems say or what exactly their ultimatum will be for eventually ending support, but I hope it's pushed back as far as possible. For those of us left on Windows 7 & 8, likely disillusioned with Microsoft's current direction, it's only going to get more difficult. Undoubtedly, there will be unofficial browsers (as there have been already) but having official support is still quite important.

uBlock Origin can now be updated to the version 1.49.2! I changed the minversion in the file manifest.json of uBlock Origin 1.49.2 from 79.0 to 68.0. Doing so it can be installed in the new pre-release of Mypal 68.13.0. Here are two screenshots: As you can see, I already tested uBlock Origin 1.49.2, and it seems to be working properly in the new pre-release of Mypal 68.13.0. The filter lists have been updated flawlessly, and I can't notice any problems. Cheers, AstroSkipper

Supermium version 115.0.5760.0 does not work even with option --no-sandbox. Version 115.0.5760.0 R2 works fine. Win 7 OS with all updates through May 2023.

Finally a good explanation. A bitmap cache, perhaps?. I'm transitioning in the different direction. I want a linux with openbsd for non-smb home networking, and want to run XP (as I like it, all stripped down of tricks and in shinny leather, so to speak), for non-internet related stuff and apps. But thank you very much for sharing this.

Did you update to the latest release of Supermium?

Good, selective quote. So also: never redundantly quote the previous post in its entirety. Be selective, or simply respond without quoting.

since you're on newer windows, you may try on official build to see if problem persists.

I found a discussion of Office 2013, keeping it, here: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msoffice/forum/all/reinstall-windows-10-but-keep-microsoft-office/d73df984-ef71-4bf2-8ee8-46941eb5db2f It says basically the same thing, you need the original media and key and without that, you can't keep it once it's wiped. The only other option I can think of it to get a hack for the key, but that's not really a good option in my experience as often such hacks either don't work, or they might open you up to other problems. What I recommend is use Open Office instead. It's a very capable program and if you need to, you can open the files in Microsoft Office and save them there a second time in Microsoft's format. Do understand though that MS Office will not keep any fancy features you might use in OO in the transition. It's good enough to get started though, and sometimes that is all you need.

Add to the list : screaming in CAPSLOCK, "jokes" from non-English users, enormous amount of smileys, patronising language, cheap sarcasm, adding links to "funny" sources, junk/crap in someone's "signature". Saying "me too", "I agree" , making up and then writing absolute crap just to fill out space on the forum.

I also use it to get rid of some functions I don't use, or that I want to cripple, for instance rdclip and Internet Explorer Version Update. I've long wanted to uncheck a few more in the attached image, but I've been lazy to test

I found the link to this update. http://download.microsoft.com/download/1/2/0/120BCFA4-DF31-4E0F-8739-935A4C69AF82/NDP1.1sp1-KB2604044-X86.exe

A search for "NetUseEnum function msdn" yields: NetUseEnum function - MSDN - Microsoft Seven parameters. So return something other than zero. For Netapi32 functions, error code 1 works well. No reference to SetLastError. New definition should be: [Netapi32.dll] NetUseEnum=o7

Good testing guys. I've added a warning to post #10. These definitions are intended to help the MSVC2010 CRT's so I'm surprised that they affect the 2008 CRT's. Can someone confirm with a process viewer what version of the CRT's are loaded in OO3.2.1 or other apps when the failure occurs? loblo had mentioned that "HeapQueryInformation -> SetLastError also seems to work but only when the function HeapSetInformation isn't also required". Try using the updates and commenting out just the "HeapQueryInformation" definition. It that isn't the culprit, a binary search will be needed--comment out half the remaining new definitions on each try. Unlike core.ini, stubs.ini supports both line and section comments. A semicolon (';') in front of a section name comments out the whole section. In front of a line, it comments out the whole line. Comments can also be place at the end of any line. For C/C++ programmers, a double-slash ("//") should also work. And for batch file programmers, a double-colon ("::"). (Okay, actually it's any character <= ';') In core.ini, there are no line or end-of-line comments. Whole sections can be commented out by inserting a semicolon (';') before the section name. To comment out a line, I move it to the bottom of the section, then insert a new line with the section header "[;]" above it.

I didn't like the idea of needing to restart, either, but trying to avoid it delayed the release by weeks. I was unable to avoid the fact that KernelEx only loads support DLL's at startup. Even if it were possible to unload and then reload KernelEx like a USB device driver, unloading it would require the termination of all clients and that would pretty much shut down Windows anyway. The next version of Kexstubs, however, will allow for the redefinition of stubs with just the restart of any app that needs the new definition. This will allow for experimentation with various return values and LastError codes without a system restart.

Excellent testing and reporting, schwups. During development, I searched the web for references to "missing export" to find needed API's and then added stub definitions. Naturally, I missed some that were right under my nose. Here is an update based largely upon loblo's work that can be manually added to stubs.ini to complete MSVC2010 (non-.NET) support. Definitions will take effect after next Windows restart: [edit] * Warning: Read posts #15-17 before applying these definitions. Insert definitions one at a time and only as needed. * [/edit] [Kernel32.dll] ActivateActCtx=f2e CreateActCtxA=t1e CreateActCtxW=t1e DeactivateActCtx=f2e FindActCtxSectionStringA=f5e FindActCtxSectionStringW=f5e GetGeoInfoA=z5e GetGeoInfoW=z5e GetUserGeoID=t1 GetVolumeNameForVolumeMountPointA=z3e GetVolumeNameForVolumeMountPointW=z3e HeapQueryInformation=f5e InitializeSListHead=f1 InterlockedFlushSList=f1 InterlockedPopEntrySList=f1 InterlockedPushEntrySList=f2 QueryDepthSList=f1 ReleaseActCtx=f1 By the way, sections don't need to be in alphabetical order but there should be no duplicates. Function definitions should be sorted, but Kexstubs will bubble-sort them (then reorder the strings) if they are not.

@jds >Does this now supersede the previous 'NetApiEx' stuff? Temporarily, yes. At the moment, Kexstubs has stub support for more Netapi32 functions than NetApiEx. And additional stubs can easily be added as needs arise. But stubs are only a first step--they allow a program to load, but not to fully function. The next step is to write code that actually does what the calling program expects of it. That will be the role of NetApiEx in the future: to provide working API's rather than simple stubs. If we keep things open source with the right licensing, we should be able to borrow code from Wine and ReactOS as well as from the excellent work of our own WildBill and blackwingcat.

Excellent question, PROBLEMCHYLD. Previously, when users trying out new software were confronted with a "missing export" load failure, they had only two options: 1. Wait for someone else to update KernelEx, 2. Update KernelEx themselves. With Kexstubs installed, now there is is third option: 3. Edit a configuration file and reboot! And once I get the kinks worked out of the Kext examples, there will be a fourth option: 4. Add or upgrade specific API's by developing a custom module, without needing to rebuild the entire KernelEx core. Option 3 is the best for normal users (and great for developers as well), and is here right now. Option 4 will be the best for developers, and I expect will be the avenue for most new KernelEx development. Contributed results from options 3 and 4 can be rolled into the core KernelEx package if and when it is next updated.
