  1. I am the owner of the Basilisk project. While I have no issue with Serpent being developed, at this time I do not plan to restore Windows XP support into the official Basilisk release. In the last release I reinstated 32-bit Windows 7 builds. Those of you on a newer 32 bit Windows OS should be able to use those builds. The 2022.08.06 32 bit installer has a bug where the installer does not actually run on 32 bit OSes. That will be fixed in the next release sometime in September. I do intend to remove the Serpent branding from the upstream Basilisk repo. I will let roytam1 have that and create a new unofficial branding for people who use self compiled Basilisk builds so there is no confusion. If there are any bugs that affect both the official Basilisk and Serpent feel free to open an issue and I'll see if I can address it. Please make sure bugs affect Basilisk first before reporting them, I can't provide any support for Serpent.

  2. I agree, the existence of both Basilisk and Serpent is beneficial for all of us. I am aware of the hostility that occurred here in the past with Matt A Tobin (I have read the roytam1 browser threads here on MSFN for years) and I am aware of the events that occurred with the MyPal browser. I have no hostility towards anyone who uses Windows XP, I think we can work together to make great web browsers. I'll look into the PDF issue, there is definitely a bug somewhere in Basilisk that occurred between January and August.

  3. Many thanks for your presence here and your moderate/kind language . To the best of my knowledge, this was not a request for you inside these forums ; "official" (as in by MCP) Bk never came with support for XP/Vista (while that was true for its initial fork point, Mozilla Firefox 52.6.0); what was probably meant is that you do not declare full-blown war against the Serpent 52.9.0 fork by Roytam1... While the main dev, myself and several other "advanced users" of St52 ALWAYS make it clear that St52 != Bk, some of the (newer) St52 users on XP occasionally turn to the official PM forums for St52 support; this is wrong on them, albeit a small "nuisance" for you that you "should be prepared" to live with for as long as these users can't tell apples from oranges ; kindly redirect them here until, as you said, you remove the "Serpent" unofficial branding from Basilisk (which, hopefully, reduces the number of these "occasions") ... What is really hoped for "here" is that you "accept/acknowledge" the existence of the "fork" and that both user groups (Bk+St52) mutually benefit between them... I am much grateful for that ; a second laptop in my household still runs Win7 SP1 x64 on 2010 era H/W, with only 4GB of RAM; 32-bit Bk runs better there, without depriving the OS from needed resources to concurrently run other applications... Perhaps you could also accept Basilisk-specific verified bugs in another section of the MSFN forums, possibly in https://msfn.org/board/forum/200-web-browsers ? Yes, this is crystal clear and shouldn't be expected of you ... Since I spoke of Basilisk-specific verified bugs, kindly revisit below report: https://forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.php?p=231584#p231584 I verified it in my own Bk-52.9.2022.08.06 x86 installation; the default setting for PDF files in Basilisk is to "Preview in Basilisk"; with that setting enforced, the embedded PDF.js viewer should be triggered to open (on-line/local) PDF files inside a browser tab[/window]; but in your latest Bk Windows build, the resultant tab[/window] is blank ... OTOH, Serpent 52.9.0 (x86) doesn't suffer from this; the OP's on-line PDF file, https://www.ipcc.ch/site/assets/uploads/2018/02/WG1AR5_Chapter12_FINAL.pdf opens, as expected, in the native PDF viewer, inside a browser tab (the file itself is ca. 35.5MiB in size, so the speed at which it fully renders depends on your connection...). Welcome to MSFN, my kindest regards !

  6. Winter Islands - by Tim Kellner I spent one of the harshest months of the year wandering and trekking over a few of the more northern islands in the world. I knew it wasn't going to be easy, but nothing could quite prepare me for the brutal shooting conditions and loneliness of a month alone in those parts. It pushed me to my limits. Many would prefer the more tropical islands but for me the winter islands are where I come alive. The cold otherworldly landscapes and deep dark color palettes contrast meeting the warm and inviting people that have made these places home. Music: By me Locations: Faroe Islands, Lofoten , Dover While on this trip I was shooting photos for a book of meditations If you're interested in checking it out. amazon.com/My-Heart-Cries-Out-Meditations/dp/1433556812 Alaska - by Tim Kellner When I was a kid I would stare up at the giant stuffed grizzly bear in the Buffalo Science Museum and imagine seeing it alive and in the wild. That dream finally came true. I can't even begin to describe with words my experiences in Alaska so hopefully this video will capture just a small piece. Music: By me Arctic - by Tim Kellner I think over again my small adventures, my fears Those small ones that seemed so big. For all the vital things I had to get and to reach. And yet there is only one great thing, The only thing, To live to see the great day that dawns And the light that fills the world. -Inuit poem Music: By me sampling Inuit instruments soundcloud.com/timtothewild All these stunning videos (and more...) here: https://vimeo.com/362539667 - and click on the video thumbs at your right!

  8. All Basilisk-related infrastructure was transferred to the new owner/maintainer of the Basilisk/UXP application: https://forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.php?f=61&t=28657 The ABBO "service" was configured to accommodate the app's new owner: https://forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.php?f=61&t=28657#p230858 The most-up-to-date Bk release is v52.9.2022.08.06, available also as a 32-bit compile! ... Well, actually no ; the "EoS" Basilisk version released by MCP was (as a 64-bit compile, only) v52.9.2022.01.27, so just over 7 months ago... That version was built on the ill-fated GRE platform and had no internal updater - that is, you have to fetch and run the standalone setup for 52.9.2022.08.06 in order to update it...

  12. What made you think that latest NM28 would behave differently in rendering web content between (first) Win7 and (then) WinXP? If the site in question renders broken in Win7, there's almost certainty it will do so under XP... The opposite is not always true, when the site's server performs UA-sniffing and blocks loading/rendering simply based on the OS (XP) reported in the UA... Already reported upstream: https://forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.php?f=70&t=28747 Sadly, it's not; as your posted Error Console Log says, this is due to missing Regex Unicode Property Escapes support in UXP ; upstream have open issues for it at: https://repo.palemoon.org/MoonchildProductions/UXP/issues/1282 (=> https://repo.palemoon.org/MoonchildProductions/UXP/issues/1286 [closed, unresolved] =>) https://repo.palemoon.org/MoonchildProductions/UXP/issues/1675 but they have seen little action as of late... TL;DR: Switch to a Chromium-based browser for Google's proprietary services... (... perhaps the palefill extension can be enhanced to add such missing support into UXP-based browsers, but it's not ready yet... )

  13. No. You can use wild card entries like *\v2.050727\* or FLASH*.* Apart from that I do not know what you mean by automation. You need to reboot your machine not just restart explorer when making manual registry changes to KernelEx AppSettings.

  14. New Zealand: The Spirit of South Island - by Cody LaPlant A short film exploring the beauty of New Zealand's South Island. A collaborative effort between Damien Blue, Bryan Mir, Christie Suchomel & myself. Shot on the Blackmagic 4.6k Mini Ursa, BMPCC 4k & DJI Mavic Pro 2. camera/edit/sound: cody laplant & damien blue camera/drone op: bryan mir Islandia - by MadeByVadim Islandia is a non-narrative two minutes short drone film about primal beauty of Iceland. Islandia - is a Latin name for Iceland and relative to the old language since this film portraits primordial and rough nature of Iceland. For the short duration of the film, you will be transported to a place that easily could be a million years ago. From unbelievable landscapes and vast valleys to painting-like terrain and majestic waterfalls and lakes - this film shows the unparalleled beauty of Iceland and its unearthly glory. Please sit back and enjoy the flight.: Loving Lofoten - by Video Bros. I spent 3 weeks in Lofoten, Senja, Andoya and Vesteralen and discovered the true beauty of this place. It's magical to see the mountains rise up from the sea, to see the fjords, the amazing landscapes, the midnight sun, the clouds, and the lovely villages. It was also a great time to visit the Lofoten Islands with it's 24 hours of daylight in the summer. I absolutely loved the midnight sun! I won't forget the midnight hike to the top of the Segla (Senja) or standing above the clouds in Tromso. This film is a collection of the unforgettable experiences. Enjoy the video :-)

  17. 1 - Thanks, don't worry it will . I'm like a lizard, lol. I just had to jump on a pile of very sharp objects when trying to avoid a blast . It was like - either blast or this , lol. So there's a huge puncture in one of my toes. Why huge ? Well , I'm very tall and (because of this and some of my muscles) quite heavy , so ... The other "piercings" , well ... ok , lets forget about it . Luckily, all is fine with the face. I got no burns , but the commies use their thermobarics quite extensively , so yeah , one could say I got lucky. Unfortunately, I need to stop here as I can't disclose anything in particular due to the obvious safety reasons (not mine, but the people under constant and brutal attacks) and due to the no-war-talks website policy. 2 - It's not just a compliment , it's a fact. You feel the laguage like it's your mother tongue. 3 - Thank you , well ... hard to say . I started to learn English at 5 - 6 y.o. , mostly at school. Despite the common belief , the French are quite good with English , just look at @msfntor ! As for me , I'm from Vichy and it is very different from the rest of the French territories . Besides, Vichy always had very warm feelings towards Dutch and Germans, esp. the Frisian ones . And it will ! We originate from the Germanic tribes, I don't need to tell you that.

  18. So (official) Basilisk lives again, under new management! I guess money talks. Official Basilisk doesn't run on the "older OSes" that are the focus of this subforum; still, I'm surprised. I don't remember reading anything about this news before now. I do hope the new owner is less hostile to XP/Vista forks than MCP was. He did say to a Mac developer: ... which is encouraging. @roytam1's Serpent has diverged from official Basilisk in several ways other than retaining XP support, since Roytam also retained support that MCP removed for e10s, WebExtension add-ons, container tabs, and possibly lots of other stuff I'm forgetting. Still, it's nice to know there's an "upstream" again.

  19. Come to think of it, even the word "insecure" overstates the case against FF 52.9. I'd probably describe it as merely "less secure" than 360EE, MyPal 68, and UXP-based browsers. WinXP is even older, of course, but we XP users got security updates through 2019, thanks to the POSReady hack. So strictly speaking, I guess FF 52.9 is even more out of date than XP itself! That said, the security risks involved are similar. IMO, they exist, but aren't terribly significant for most purposes. The best reason to move on from FF 52.9 is the one @Dave-H himself just gave; it just doesn't work well with the modern Web any more.

  23. Hope the healing process goes well and you have enough time for full recovery! You have complimented me so many times on my English language skills, which by far need improvement. In any case, I must return this compliment regarding your English language competence. From your profile, I know you are French, and I think learning, speaking and writing in English is a bit more difficult for a native French speaker than a German (Frisian ) one. Your English is absolutely perfect. Where did you learn it? Or, is your background bilingual or multilingual? Greetings from Germany, AstroSkipper

  24. While I am promarily now a windows 7 user, I still use windows ME occasionally (really lod games that dont like compatibility mode but need full hardware 3d acceleration thus ruling out using a VM) That being said my win ME rig is a real beast for that OS. Athlonxp 3800+ 4x256mb ddr400 (rloew patch) 160gb wd velociraptor on IDE/Sata adapter (120gb windows partition rest unused/unallocated) Radeon X850 256mb AGP8x gpu) it certifies as bare minimum to run vista, but its blazingly fast on ME (feels like 7 does on a quadcore and ssd). I run a pagefile of 256mb, Creative audio soundcard (pci) and ISA 10base-T ethernet card (connected to a wifi repeater with ethernet port configured to serve as a wifi to ethernet adapter). thought thats more for LAN than internet as I've yet to get a browser working these days. email does work, but getting thunderbird working was a pain in itself. It does its job well enough at any rate, and I have windows 7 for all that fancy internet stuff anyway.

  26. Thanks @Mathwiz. I also use the latest Firefox on Windows 10 on my desktop, and on the Windows 10 side of my dual boot netbook, which also has 52.9 ESR on its XP side. So Firefox sync allows me to keep things like bookmarks and passwords in sync on five different installations, including the Android Firefox on my phone. Having said that, I have recently gone over to using 360Chrome as my default browser on XP on my main desktop, simply because FF 52.9 is now having more and more problems with sites!

  31. Yes, PM-28.10 LPs aren't fully compatible with NM28.10.6a1; but most areas of the GUI a "general" NM28 user would frequently access function adequately... Web Developer Tools and some other "advanced" GUI areas might have "glitches" (or don't even open at all...). FTR, New Moon (both v27 and v28) was NEVER meant (by roytam1) to be localised; the fact that "upstream" PM language packs once used to work fully with past versions of NM28 was, of course, a welcome one by NM users, but also one more point of contention by upstream, who licence the PM LPs to be used exclusively on their own "official" application; if left unmodified, PM LPs, when installed in NM28, will turn the "unofficial" NM branding to "official", copyrighted, PM one...

  33. We can probably not count Wolfenstein: The New Order at this time as using 3 api files from Windows 8.0 and copying the kernel32.dll from Windows 7 and renaming it as api-ms-win-core-file-l1-2-2.dll allowed the game to actually launch. I was really expecting it to keep asking for more different files to hunt down but glad enough I can actually play this game. So this can be a way to try to get programs to work in Windows 7 but only those programs that aren't doing a hard check on the OS itself. And now my Windows 7 PC has joined the old tradition of my Windows 98 PC as having future OS files in it to run programs it isn't supposed to be running.
