KB4039384 It's in the Windows XP No SSE2 Patch Rollup.zip that I gave you.

Speaking of irrational hatred of old operating systems.... I just remembered an anecdote of mine from a programming class several years ago (I think it was 2017 or so). The instructor was very much one of those "newer is better" people, and actively shunned anything that wasn't "now" and encouraged all his students to do the same. So what did I do? I brought in and used my Dell Latitude D630 (then about 11 years old) running Windows 2000 (then at least 16 years old, and 7 years out of date), and, via blackwingcat's Extended Kernel, I was able to run the then-current versions of Java and Notepad++ and complete my assignments just as well as my classmates with their fancy Windows 10-based stuff. I didn't have to do this (I had a nice, then-current Apple MacBook Pro I could've used instead), so why did I? Well, mainly to prove that I could. Plus it was fun to spite the instructor and prove to him that old computers can still be useful (he was rather arrogant and I didn't like him very much). c

Actually, the About: Menu custom button should work in Serpent 52, too. When I am back at my desktop computer, I will have a look at this. In New Moon 28, however, I can definitely confirm that this custom button works as it should. Generally, most custom buttons tested by me should work in both browsers. But, of course, we all know the proof is in the pudding. I have just tested it and have unfortunately to confirm your observation. Although there is the compatibility string of Firefox {ec8030f7-c20a-464f-9b0e-13a3a9e97384} inside the code of the About: Menu custom button, the menu of all about: pages does not open in Serpent 52. The button was created many years ago, though. Therefore, it definitely was developed for much older Firefox versions (< 52). That's presumably why it is still working in New Moon 28. But there are still alternatives in the form of extensions for Serpent 52 which can be tested. I will have a look at that later.

In my very old New Moon profile, I have 67 extensions enabled and 5 disabled. But in the more recent profiles, I try to use much less of them.

But, of course, we all know the proof is in the pudding.

As I already explained, I try to use as few extensions as possible, as they have a greater impact on memory and tend to cause compatibility problems. If features can be retrofitted by custom buttons, I use them instead of extensions. But I have to admit that I still install far too many extensions, but of course I also use them. As everyone knows by now, I'm also a big fan of extensions. The About: Menu custom button was created by the well-known developer LouCypher long ago. I just modded it a bit as described in my article.

I wish nice holidays to everyone!

@yoltboy01, better not to quote his link, his github page has games copy protection cracks source attached. Russian hackers' page that crack Securom Digital rights protection or similar. If clicked, it's all in Russian, but one can translate what it's all about.

Overall, I agree with you, still with an SSD XP will be even more responsive, if properly configured. Win7 does way too many reads-writes, especially at startup, also agree.

I'd like to read that article where "all security experts considered" this, thanks.

There's simply not enough trouble free and fast file hostings.

I guess 3.5 would be enough since he wanted 3.2.
