Regarding Speed Dial I found a ReferenceError in the Browser Console: ReferenceError: nsIWebNavigation is not defined[Learn More] speeddialOverlay.js%20line%201595%20%3E%20eval:42:13 This error message is generated every time I close a tab. And here is a screenshot taken from NM's Browser Console: And I got this message after resetting Speed Dial and browser restart: [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x8000ffff (NS_ERROR_UNEXPECTED) [nsIPrefBranch.getCharPref]" nsresult: "0x8000ffff (NS_ERROR_UNEXPECTED)" location: "JS frame :: chrome://speeddial/content/speeddialOverlay.js :: startBackgroundLoad :: line 1770" data: no] (unknown) So, the culprit seems to be the JavaScript file speeddialOverlay.js. The main problem with Speed Dial is that when tabs are closed, they are there again after a restart. The current browser session is therefore not restored as it has always been. Same applies to the extension Tab Utilities 2.1.2.

First of all, the extensions don't show any error message pop-ups. However, I didn't check the console. Next time, I will reinstall Speed Dial and check the console messages.

@roytam1 Do you have any information about changes in terms of the session (re)store function in New Moon 28 made in the recent past? Two old but well-known extensions do not work any longer in New Moon 28. The extensions Tab Utilities 2.12 and Speed Dial 0.9.6.18 interfere with NM's session restore which unfortunately makes them unusable. And even the Session Manager 0.8.1.14 extension does not work as before. It has now to be configured in another way to make it work again in recent browser releases. BTW, I already mentioned a session restore issue here: So, another question is under which conditions will the "Restore Previous Session" entry be enabled and not greyed out?

Hi. For using MASM on your ordinary 64-bit Windows Vista, I suggest you familiarise yourself with DOSBOX and install it first.

Care to expand on this subject? I'm only aware of The Order Of Dawn.

Are you sure you wanna do this? 'Cause it would then automatically exclude @Vistapocalypse from all discussions of any OS and any software, except iOS and iOS apps he uses.

Any, and by any I mean any, AV has a built-in self protection, self preservation mechanism from malicious attempts of breaking it, but I don't have to tell you that, do I? So, maybe also try to compare the modified (even slightly, even one bit) versions of them both, to see how they will behave?

@roytam1 I have just checked all releases starting after the end of July 2024. The Speed Dial issue "ReferenceError: nsIWebNavigation is not defined" definitely started with the release New Moon 28.10.7a1 (32-bit) with the build ID 20240922132822 (palemoon-28.10.7a1.win32-git-20240928-d849524bd-uxp-716b990183-xpmod.7z). And the Tab Utilities issue also started with this release. Both extensions seem to produce this ReferenceError issue due to the same code change made in the identified release and break the session (re)store. So, you have to check only the most recent (custom) changes. Hope this will help you.

Got it, depending on actions performed, you can get the session with wrong tabs, like you open 3 different tabs, close one of them, then session gets restored with all 3 instead of 2. I think it can be solved by figuring out the cause of ReferenceError: nsIWebNavigation is not defined error, which as noted before, only happens on New Moon.

My understanding is that an e-mail client has to be registered with an e-mail provider for OAuth2 to work with that provider's servers. The client is issued with a token which has to be used. The proxy I'm using is actually using a token which was issued to Mozilla Thunderbird, and the Microsoft servers therefore think that it is Thunderbird. I gather that the mechanism for getting a token from Microsoft is quite complex, so 'borrowing' someone else's is a lot easier than going through the hoops to get one of your own!

I can't as I didn't change anything that is browser session related. I wonder if extensions giving out any error messages?

I assume no one has attempted it. And I think there won't be anyone trying that. The only person that could realise such a port is not interested in an x64 build. TBH, I don't believe there is any acute urgency for doing so, either.

Thank you for your kind words! I always try to be as fair as possible when writing articles about security programmes. I always separate objective facts from my subjective experiences in my articles. I am curious to see how AVG Antivirus Free performs in your system. The main problem in writing the article about AVG was the unfortunate fact that there is hardly any information left about AVG Antivirus Free 18.8.4084.0, and the support is a joke. Since the company behind AVG is Avast, it refers to articles and information about Avast Free Antivirus 18.8.4084.0 in all support requests. Thus, there has been no real support or corresponding information for AVG Antivirus Free 18.8.4084.0 for years. Avast could actually have made this clear in general in support requests regarding AVG, but it did not.

It's not relevant to the windows XP version, even if we are to somehow assume it might be true.

@NotHereToPlayGames, wait a minute! You're deviating from the course! You were going to also remove "telemetry" to force us to use it, we "MUST", lol. OK, when shall we be seeing the patched version? Enlighten us, please.

Seeing you're strangely persistent with that whole idea, I'm starting to have doubts you know what you're going to face. Modding an AV would require advanced reverse engineering skills, since what you're offering is exactly what any AV would need to protect itself from (hacking)*. Now, I don't know about your personal skills, but I hope you'll manage! It would be interesting to see the result. *EDIT - And yes it also includes protecting its registry entries.

This thread is about security programs for XP that are secure. I can go one better by merging the two statements : This thread is about security programmes for XP that are secure and still work.

The BSI is strict regarding security warnings. So, your assessment is correct. In Germany, cyber security is taken very seriously as I already wrote in a previous post. AstroSkipper

Hello @Saxon! If you are permanently connected with your notebook to the internet and need a real-time protection, you can try Panda Antivirus Free. Here is a link to my article: https://msfn.org/board/topic/184730-antimalware-firewall-and-other-security-programs-for-windows-xp-working-in-2023-and-hopefully-beyond/?do=findComment&comment=1244402 Alternatively, if you are willing to buy a license, you can try Malwarebytes Antimalware. This older version is very light on resources: https://msfn.org/board/topic/184730-antimalware-firewall-and-other-security-programs-for-windows-xp-working-in-2023-and-hopefully-beyond/?do=findComment&comment=1248964 And this is a more recent version: https://msfn.org/board/topic/184730-antimalware-firewall-and-other-security-programs-for-windows-xp-working-in-2023-and-hopefully-beyond/?do=findComment&comment=1244368 Cheers, AstroSkipper

DreamMail Pro - Update information! DreamMail Pro has been updated again and is now available in version 6.6.6.10. It is still XP-compatible, and the development is ongoing! I have not been able to find a version history on their homepage. Therefore, I generated an official version history translated to English and provide it here: And here is the download link of DreamMail Pro 6.6.6.10: https://dl.cy-email.com/dm6/Download/dmpro_setup6.6.6.10.exe To force the updated installer of DreamMail Pro 6.6.6.10 to use English instead of Chinese as the installer language, I updated again my small loader that does this when it calls up the setup program. It must be executed in the same directory in which the setup file is located with its original file name dmpro_setup6.6.6.10.exe. Here is the download link of my loader Force_En_Install_DM_Pro_66610.exe: https://www.mediafire.com/file/ijovdtlxbzc6pkp/Force_En_Install_DM_Pro_66610.7z/file Although some virus scanners detect this file as malicious, it is just a false-positive as always. Use my loader to force an English install, only if you trust me, of course! Cheers, AstroSkipper

Yes , true . I wouldn't do it now . A NOTE . In the channel I provided , their Iguana has a broken nose . That may happen when they walk right throuh an object during the mating season , a wall , a window ! Just watch the videos , they will tell about that . Also , mine is bigger , theirs is only five - six years old or so and mine is 17.

Geckos , maybe , I don't know . Iguanas are very active !!! Mine awakes approx. at 10 - 11 and stays very active for 10-12 hours , like humans . Sleeping time is 9-12 hours , depending on the current season. A cool channel you might want to watch . I'm lazy to make videos , besides it's not very convenient thing to do with such dangerous lizard. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gxJNYfZbhVQ https://www.youtube.com/c/Bosveldson/search?query=forest

Yep , a dragon . Eats plenty of vegetables , fruits , boiled chickens , naughty neighbours , drinks lots of fresh water . Absolutely cool with cats , he uses cats as warm pillows , allows them to walk around absolutely free . (those aren't my cats , those are of my friends, I don't have cats , but had them in the past , before the Iguana , which is 17 years old , BTW ! ) . Hates dogs , attacks them . Brutally . I think all iguanas hate dogs .

For some of you that didn't know , I have a huge Iguana , and what pets do you have/had in the past ?

Us living in the 9/11 type BioSecurity state , prison planet , call it whatever you like.
