Moonchild takes the position that legacy addons no longer need to be updated since they will always work in their browsers. That may be true for the most part but not for all of them. Newer addons that are interactive with the site, such as Enhancer for YouTube are constantly being updated for the simple fact that google is forever changing things. Legacy addons that used to do that are now either broken to some extent or completely useless since the developers have abandoned them. And at some point Raymond Hill will end development of legacy uBO, it's just a matter of time. That's why there's a need for webextension support whether most of us like it or not.

I'm just talking about the last version that worked on XP, which I've had since it came out. I didn't even realize it was no longer available. By the way, here's where the pepperflash swap-to-update information begins: https://msfn.org/board/topic/174085-newest-adobe-flash-and-shockwave-and-java-too/?do=findComment&comment=1123602 I still download the latest Flash (or Flash Beta) Player, install it on an old offline machine I have with a regular Google Chrome installation, pull the pepperflash .dll from there, and use it to update my portable installation.

Super! Thank you very much. A suggestion was enough. I found the Youtube-DLG portable 96MB GUI. Slowly, but it gets from VOD. : D Download mp4 extra:

Hardentools is poor compared to the features of OSArmor. @Mcinwwl You should have disabled the SMB protocol. Check if it is active: netstat -na | find "LISTENING" | find ":445 " If no output is returned by this command, you're OK.

... First of all, your request is rather off-topic for this thread; second, TVP media content is geo-fenced, accessible from whitelisted Polish IPs, only ... However, as with many media (video/audio) portals, your best bet lies with youtube-dl; it is a CLI (Command-Line-Interface) application, the pre-compiled Windows executable (youtube-dl.exe) is XP-compatible (built with Python 3.4.4); I had to find a working whitelisted Polish HTTP proxy (you won't be needing that if you're inside Poland ) and I had no issue fetching to disk: youtube-dl --proxy="http://54.37.131.15:3128" -F "https://vod.tvp.pl/video/ojciec-mateusz,odc-100-sklep-z-zabawkami,8286051" [tvp] 8286051: Downloading webpage [tvp:embed] 8286051: Downloading webpage [tvp:embed] 8286051: Downloading ISM manifest [tvp:embed] 8286051: Downloading f4m manifest [tvp:embed] 8286051: Downloading m3u8 information [tvp:embed] 8286051: Checking video URL [tvp:embed] 8286051: Checking video URL [tvp:embed] 8286051: Checking video URL [tvp:embed] 8286051: Checking video URL [tvp:embed] 8286051: Checking video URL [tvp:embed] 8286051: Checking video URL [tvp:embed] 8286051: Checking video URL [tvp:embed] 8286051: video URL is invalid, skipping [info] Available formats for 8286051: format code extension resolution note mss-audio-175 isma audio only 175k , AACL (44100Hz) mss-video-532 ismv 398x224 532k , H264, video only mss-video-741 ismv 480x270 741k , H264, video only mss-video-1146 ismv 640x360 1146k , H264, video only mss-video-1518 ismv 800x450 1518k , H264, video only mss-video-2437 ismv 960x540 2437k , H264, video only mss-video-4024 ismv 1280x720 4024k , H264, video only mss-video-5397 ismv 1920x1080 5397k , H264, video only hds-707 flv 398x224 707k hls-749 mp4 398x224 749k , avc1.100.30@ 532k, mp4a.40.2@175k http-749 mp4 398x224 749k , avc1.100.30@ 532k, mp4a.40.2@175k hds-916 flv 480x270 916k hls-970 mp4 480x270 970k , avc1.100.30@ 741k, mp4a.40.2@175k http-970 mp4 480x270 970k , avc1.100.30@ 741k, mp4a.40.2@175k hds-1321 flv 640x360 1321k hls-1400 mp4 640x360 1400k , avc1.100.30@1146k, mp4a.40.2@175k http-1400 mp4 640x360 1400k , avc1.100.30@1146k, mp4a.40.2@175k hds-1693 flv 800x450 1693k hls-1794 mp4 800x450 1794k , avc1.100.30@1518k, mp4a.40.2@175k http-1794 mp4 800x450 1794k , avc1.100.30@1518k, mp4a.40.2@175k hds-2612 flv 960x540 2612k hls-2768 mp4 960x540 2768k , avc1.100.31@2437k, mp4a.40.2@175k http-2768 mp4 960x540 2768k , avc1.100.31@2437k, mp4a.40.2@175k hds-4199 flv 1280x720 4199k hls-4450 mp4 1280x720 4450k , avc1.100.31@4024k, mp4a.40.2@175k http-4450 mp4 1280x720 4450k , avc1.100.31@4024k, mp4a.40.2@175k hds-5572 flv 1920x1080 5572k hls-5906 mp4 1920x1080 5906k , avc1.100.40@5397k, mp4a.40.2@175k (best) Several streaming methodologies are implemented, from HTTP progressive download (http-* modes), to Smooth Streaming (mss-video-* + mss-audio-175), to AdobeHDS (hds-* modes), to AppleHLS (hls-* modes); say I want the 960x540 encode (SD) over http-progressive, then I'd type: youtube-dl --console-title --proxy="http://54.37.131.15:3128" -f "http-2768" "https://vod.tvp.pl/video/ojciec-mateusz,odc-100-sklep-z-zabawkami,8286051" -c --no-part --write-thumbnail --embed-thumbnail --add-metadata [tvp] 8286051: Downloading webpage [tvp:embed] 8286051: Downloading webpage [tvp:embed] 8286051: Downloading ISM manifest [tvp:embed] 8286051: Downloading f4m manifest [tvp:embed] 8286051: Downloading m3u8 information [tvp:embed] 8286051: Checking video URL [tvp:embed] 8286051: Checking video URL [tvp:embed] 8286051: Checking video URL [tvp:embed] 8286051: Checking video URL [tvp:embed] 8286051: Checking video URL [tvp:embed] 8286051: Checking video URL [tvp:embed] 8286051: Checking video URL [tvp:embed] 8286051: video URL is invalid, skipping [tvp:embed] 8286051: Downloading thumbnail ...

Well after installing xp on the new HDD, (the difference from the old one is like night and day) the ThinkPad is back in service. All the POSReady updates that were offered to me today were installed with no issues.

The most charitable explanation I can think of is that they're trying everything they can to, uh, "encourage" add-on developers to maintain legacy add-ons, since PM/NM doesn't support WE at all, and the Basilisk support they keep trying to remove is limited. If that's the explanation, though, I think it's a losing battle. Add-on developers aren't going to start maintaining their legacy code again just because of Basilisk, so this would just make Basilisk a less useful FF 52 fork. @roytam1 is correct to revert these changes. It seems unlikely, given how "ideological" MC et al. can be, but maybe they'll figure that out one day, and put the limited WE code from FF 52 back in to not only Basilisk but also PM.

WE killswitch! https://github.com/MoonchildProductions/UXP/commit/6bb02d95f70000b150569089987701c8244d7d5d lets revert it!
