  1. ... I had explained this in fine detail in the past ; perhaps it was lost when the forum's database was corrupted back in June 1. First grab latest Polish language pack (for PaleMoon 28) from http://addons.palemoon.org/language-packs/ Do not install in NM28, just save to file (it should have an .xpi extension, filename=pl.xpi). 2. An .xpi file is just a renamed .zip file; if you have 7-zip installed, it can decompress .xpi files without issue; if not, rename the file to pl.zip and use your favourite archiver app to extract to a pl folder. 3. Open the folder and locate file install.rdf ; open that file in a proper text-editor (Notepad++, PSPad, etc.); if you don't have a proper text-editor installed (you should), use Window's notepad as a last resort... 4. Locate line 31 of that file; it should read: <em:maxVersion>28.0.*</em:maxVersion> 5. Change "28.0.*" to "28.1.*", save the change and close the file in your text-editor. { 5a. Optionally, you can also change line 12 to read: em:version="28.1.0" and then save the change to file } 6. Select all contents of folder pl (but not the actual folder itself) and re-zip them back to a pl.xpi file (you can also rename that to 28.1.0_pl.xpi, for telling apart from original download...) 7. Open latest NM28 (v28.1.0a1) and navigate to about:addons (addons manager); drag and drop file (28.1.0_)pl.xpi; it should offer you to install it; a browser restart would be needed... 8. For the LP to apply, you'd have to set in about:config general.useragent.locale;pl (followed by another browser restart). DISCLAIMER: The procedure outlined is just a hack; the localization may break with any future NM 28.1.x update, if new strings are added to the code by Moonchild devs for which no translated Polish strings are there in the installed pack; according to the extent of the breakage, some functions may be broken, or even the whole browser might be unable to start; in that case, start in safe mode, disable the language pack and restart in normal mode (en-US GUI). You should inquire about updated packs at the GitHub repo... @kitaro1 : That should also interest you! @roytam1: Maybe also pin this post to first page, because people seem to be unable to apply what is a simple procedure for you and me...

  2. Hello there Since you appear to be a fellow Vista user, I decided to help and investigate... Two major issues for me: 1) I don't know any Polish, 2) (obviously) I'm not in Poland currently... I had to use a lot of Google Translate to decipher all these messages (in Polish) I was presented with and to be able to click the right on-screen buttons... I then had to find video content that wasn't geo-fenced (restricted to Polish IPs, only ); I think I settled for Ameryka-Marzen-Odcinek-12 I tried a variety of browsers on my Vista laptop, but to no avail; I suffered exactly what you reported, i.e. a black rectangle in the supposed place of their embedded player... I then kindly asked my sister to test that URL on her Firefox Quantum v61.0.2 (32-bit) copy on her Win7 SP1 64-bit laptop: she had to temporarily disable uBlock0 on that site, but, lo and behold, the programme started playing in an HTML5 player... After some further troubleshooting I did, I think I've solved the riddle: That (nasty!) Polish site performs User-Agent sniffing and simply doesn't like the Vista (NT 6.0) part of the UA, so they decline to load their player on Vista machines (didn't test, but I'm sure the same fate is reserved for XP, too, i.e. NT 5.x) The solution I chose was to apply a site-specific-UA-override (SSUAO) for "www.ipla.tv" to mimic Fx 62 (due imminently) on Win7 OS; in a "roytam1" browser (NM27/28, Serpent 52.9.0/55.0.0) open about:config and create a new string pref with name=general.useragent.override.www.ipla.tv value=Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:62.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/62.0 restart browser, clear cookies for "www.ipla.tv" and reload VOD page; you are then presented with so you have to disable adblocker (ublock0 in my case) and reload ; after reloading, you have to literally sit in front of at least 3min worth of ads; if you change to another tab, the ads and time counter are paused and only resume if you focus back to that tab... Very nasty behaviour indeed Finally, after the ordeal ends, main video starts playing: The test above was conducted on a Windows Vista SP2 32-bit Home Premium laptop, browser was latest New Moon 27 offering (v27.9.1a1, 32-bit, 2018-08-24) with lav-dll-lite-mmx dlls put correctly in place...

  3. @timia I modified some layouts time ago (still works on 1803) to have thin borders.

  4. ... You are not to blame, but you simply misunderstood The green Verified button on the GitHub repository: has nothing to do with extension signing on AMO (addons.mozilla.org) (see here). The legacy (XUL) version of uBlock0 on GitHub is not signed, hence it couldn't be verified by Firefox for installation; in fact, if you navigate to the installation instructions for the XUL flavour, it is stated that:

  7. Sure thing, timia! I'll definitely take a good look and keep you posted. Also, you're very welcome and I'm glad we talk alike :-) I gotta run for now - take care!

  9. Hey timia, I hope you are well. Just wanted to let you know that I purchased a key for Windows Style Builder / Vista Style Builder for 25 euros, and with the aid of Mr. Grim's patches (bless that man), I'm using the latest version (it says "1.5.6.3 - Beta Build") to aid in the border thickness query, as it also is something I've wanted to hopefully-address for the theme that I use as well. Just thought I'd let you know that I am indeed investing my time and resources into this. It's the perfectionist in me. Probably undiagnosed OCD as well, LOL. So, erm, I promise I'll keep you posted about the border thickness and so forth, unless you tell me to shut up, and then I'll shut up. Take care, bye for now :-)

  10. Thanks for letting me know! Fixed. You must have misread; @Chronius said 1.1.4, not 1.1.14. However the requirements are the same for both versions (Firefox 56 or later). However, despite the developers claiming to only support Firefox 56 or later with this version, Version 1.1.4 works just fine with Firefox 52.9.0: However, you must download and install it manually via the developers' GitHub page (as linked by @Chronius) as trying to install it from the Firefox Add-on page results in this message: You must also disable the extension signature requirement, otherwise Firefox won't let you install it. To learn how to do this, go here. Anyway, I have added Umatrix 1.1.4 as the last version for Firefox 52 ESR as a UNS entry, since this isn't officially supported, but still works as long as you follow what I outlined above.

  11. You're very welcome. I suspect that there's a tree for the taskbar, and then another one for the start menu, and so forth. Or am I wrong? Either way, I'll know for sure soon enough.

  12. Hey timia. I believe that the borders in question can only be modified by way of editing Windows Visual Style Files - each of which, contain the *.msstyles file extension. In order to do so, the only software I know of which MIGHT be able to modify the borders in question is Windows Style Builder. I say 'MIGHT' because I'm not certain how compatible it is with Windows 10 in general. I'm going to purchase a license this weekend and go from there. I'll be sure to keep you posted.
