I COMPLETELY agree @VistaLover. By the way, you really did a complete job in your above assessment. I'm also grateful to what @K4sum1 gave us. But I also need to look after my needs. While I hate that we have a Google-fied web, I've stopped worrying about the implications of all of the privacy issues we face. It's not that I disagree with the level of concern, but it's that we REALLY can do nothing about it. I need to perform online banking, watch and help produce videos on YouTube, use WebRTC to voice traffic reports, and take part in Zoom meetings, Google Meet and Teams Meetings, and apply for work; all which basically NECESSITATES providing a good chunk of personal information to proceed. I don't agree with the corporate tactics, but I must continue to function. It was indeed K4Sum1's project, as Pale Moon was Moonchild's. What I feel these visionary types (who admittedly deserve a lot of credit for their work), fail to realize is that those that make up their user base are CONSUMERS or CUSTOMERS. Now Moonchild and his "moonie minions" VEHEMENTLY disagree with that. But customers are not just defined as those providing monetary exchange to a company or corporation for a product. They can be those who provide voluntary stake to a company, or mission. So in this way, those who co-develop alongside Moonchild, those who provide add-ons, those who beta test, and YES even those who simply (and regularly) USE Pale Moon, are indeed customers and stakeholders. When someone creates a project, and it attracts users to the resulting product, such as in K4Sum1's r3dFox, expectations begin to be developed. No matter if these expectations are right or wrong for the userbase to behold, they are real, and the developer needs to contend with them. Those are simply the facts. K4Sum1 provided a way for me to use Windows 8 on an extended basis, and you become reliant on that. When K4Sum1 understandably says, "I'm just not feeling it", it doesn't incite a favourable response among the userbase. Fair? Perhaps not, but it's a very real sentiment. @K4sum1, I genuinely hope you are OK.

Once again, learning a lot! I don't use R3dFox to watch DRM comment, so I didn't even realize R3dfox had disabled DRM. As you say, shades of Pale Moon. All the niche browsers combined aren't going to force YouTube et al. to abandon it! And I agree that the correct way to deal with the issue is to leave the DRM supporting code in the browser, and just disable it with a pref, which can then be re-enabled by the user if desired. Finally, I do consider VMP evil, and understand that niche browsers like R3dFox will never support VMP. But as long as there are sites that impose DRM but don't require VMP, we should still be allowed to access those sites. All that said, though, I still appreciate having R3dFox on my "ancient" Win 7 PC and will keep using it for the ever-increasing number of Web sites that flummox Serpent.

The redfox-old GitHub repo was (also) archived today, but this was probably to be expected; no clue as to why its successor suffered the same fate today ... As for the Eclipse Board , they mention "Temporary maintenance" (stress on "temporary" is mine ) ... That ; and those "proposals" did materialise into a Librewolf-ification of r3dfox that many, myself included, never asked for ... As @Jody Thornton put it, ... and I'll add Vista SP2 to the OS mix above ; yes, close to "stock" Firefox but with the ability to launch on older WinOSes! This is what most site admins expect, this is what most extension authors expect and target... I was never part of the "extreme web privacy" crowd to demand a change of route towards Librewolf (or similar forks); I understand a small portion of the LW code was needed to address a specific r3dfox technical issue, but that is different to incorporating large chunks of LW code "while we're at it" ... As if it wasn't enough to deal with Mozilla "breaking" things (and locking down the browser) with each major version update, an "average" r3dfox user has to deal with "r3dfox-specific" changes, too (ones that not always meet with said user's "approval") ... And my own words on DRM/EME: I found r3dfox maintainer's "obsession" about DRM simply "blown out of proportion"; he goes to extreme lengths to disable EME at buildtime, but the browser itself provides an easy way to disable EME at runtime, if one objects to it for whatever ideological reason... Let's face it; with Google practically owning the Web, they have leveraged the use of their own CDM (Widevine) in most media services, even the most obscure, but still free, ones... Yes, I totally understand the argument about "black-boxed code" etc., but DRM has become a necessary evil in the web era of 2025 and beyond... A lot of focus has been put on the VMP (Verified Media Path) requirement associated with the majority of the prominent/commercial DRM'ed Video+Audio services (e.g. Netflix, Disney+, Paramount+, Spotify, Tidal, Apple Music, etc.) as a reason NOT to implement DRM on r3dfox (because VMP entails a very large sum of money, paid to Google, for certifying the browser for VMP purposes), but what about the rest of the lesser known services that don't impose VMP with DRM? Jody's example of https://www.cp24.com/now/ is such a case, there are many others... The whole thing kind of reminds me, in some twisted way, of Moonchild and his own browser, Pale Moon, where he vehemently refused to implement DRM of any kind; but while Basilisk was still his, he allowed the DRM functionality inherited from his FxESR-52 forkpoint to stay enabled; that is, until the point he could no longer shoehorn-in upstream (Mozilla) DRM patches and, one day, DRM in Basilisk was declared such a big Evil that had to be completely excised! (NB: Latest Widevine CDM (a .dll) needs Win8+ to properly function; on Vista/Win7, some wrapper DLLs (e.g. borrowed from the Supermium project ) are actually needed to make it work there (and only on non-VMP services)). I believe so; he probably had a "hissy fit" and decided to "now I'll show you all", or I could be totally wrong and the GitHub repo archival was an inadvertent mishap ... ... You can count me as one (though I did not post in that thread...). Personally, I'll stick to older r3dfox-140.0.4; it will become my new "KafanMiniBrowser" for GitHub; I'm not that concerned about security patches, as long as GH works there (and it'll continue to work until 140esr becomes deprecated), I'll keep using it... In closing, I'm not being entitled or ungrateful towards the r3dfox author; huge thanks from my side for what he has offered to me over the last two years or so ...

I can't imagine that pref. doing anything at all if multiprocess move is disabled, so I strongly suspect either it is your imagination, or else you do actually have multiprocess mode enabled. The pref. you cited is not the only way to enable it: You can check whether multiprocess mode is, in fact, enabled by clicking Help / Troubleshooting and scrolling down to "Multiprocess Windows." If the first number is anything but zero, it's enabled. Already done: https://github.com/JustOff/moon-tester-tool (by the author of the Classic Add-Ons Archive himself) and https://github.com/Nebula-Mechanica/serpent-tester-tool. But to be fair, these extensions are themselves several years old, so they probably need to be updated. ... Any volunteers? @AstroSkipper?

Not my fault, really, but here you go: https://board.eclipse.cx/viewtopic.php?p=7539#p7539 https://board.eclipse.cx/viewtopic.php?p=7542#p7542 https://board.eclipse.cx/viewtopic.php?p=7593#p7593 There was this r3dfox bug and the author (thought he) found the solution in one of LibreWolf's special "policies", but while he was "there", he decided to also implement several other LW policies/settings into r3dfox; this is implied in the bolded wording of every new "LW-ified" r3dfox release, e.g. 128.14.1esr: Testimonies of breakage can be found in the linked Eclipse Forum thread and in the GH issue tracker (recent open/closed issues), e.g. https://github.com/Eclipse-Community/r3dfox/issues?q= is%3Aissue state%3Aopen sort%3Aupdated-desc https://github.com/Eclipse-Community/r3dfox/issues?q=is%3Aissue state%3Aclosed sort%3Aupdated-desc What made me furious the most was this ; but, as I wrote already, I'm only speaking for myself here; it may well be that the majority of the r3dfox users are still very happy to have got new releases with the latest security patches, courtesy of Mozilla .. As you often write, "moving on" ...

I was worried that may be the case too, as I was a tad vocal on my thoughts of where r3dFox is headed, on the Eclipse Fourm. However, that isn't my saying "You have to do this or that!". I'm vehement on my opinions, and make no apologies for it. In any case, I have now moved on the Firefox for Windows 7 and 8, since releases seem to be happening more quickly. This is especially the case for ESR builds. I'm glad I switched. Even if my comments were not made, I'm sure there were a lot of vocal proponents of my mindset, including one being a moderator.

YES IT IS, if you really want us to seek out a solution. There are a *TON* of Chrome extensions taylored to VLC Player. ONE example -- https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/open-in-vlc-media-player/kbonopecbfhedlfpaphndlaoppmdppim?hl=en Then browse the "related" and then browse the related's "related". *TONS* of them. Though I myself have not used any of them to speak towards any recommendation.

@ExtremeGrief I could do that but I didn't. If you want to merge it's up to you. I did it my way as Frankie Boy would say (or better sing). Don't say other people what they should, could or have to do. If you want to do it "better" do it by your own!

@maile3241 Oh man, dllcache is a subfolder of system32 folder.

@maile3241 Of course you can. Copy new code, mark this region with your mouse and paste new code, But do not change other bits. Check after patching if only these ten digits have changed. It's the most simple thing.

@maile3241https://imgur.com/AqLdRes Of course you have. In hexeditor all lines are arranged hexadecimal on left side. Find line 0000EC80 and then position (column) 4. Open your eyes! In your screenshot I can see the matching code.

@maile3241 At offset EC84, replace 83F89D7508 by 3BC0EB3290. But first check if code 83F89D7508 matches exactly in your file.

@maile3241 Version 5.1.2600.5512 is what I have and is an original service pack 3 file. And patching is no problem using hexeditor.

@maile3241 Have you already checked if at offset EC84 of your file this code 83F89D7508 matches? You always say the same but you give less information about what you have tried. Use an hexeditor like WinHex and look inside! If code matches then you can patch outside of system32 without any problems.

Apparently, pastebin moderation has approved nicolaasjan's yt-dlp log and yesterday's 403 error is now gone: ... Just something to keep in mind in the event of future pastebin uploads (i.e., they might not be immediately visible, for reasons only known to pastebin themselves ) ...

I was able to load forum.zdoom.org with User Agent Switcher in Supermium 132, but not in New Moon where it keeps cycling on "finished TLS handshake". The site is focused on an old video game. Having it require the latest software to work rubs me the wrong way, which is also consistent with their new versions require modern Windows. It is not essential for me to read this site. But I suspect how this may happen with more servers soon.

Doesn't it need the `node_modules` directory? [Edit] Apparently not: Verbose log.

It is portable. Extract the zip file to e.g. `C:\Bin\Node` and add that folder to the PATH.

You need to download chrome.packed-vista.7z and run it with the --no-sandbox parameter. Everything is written there. If this is done, then some updates may be missing, especially the Platform Update.

... Eclipse Board is now back in business (technically, it never went off-line) ... .. But I'd be very wary of ; both have been LibreWolf-ified ; I'd make a profile back-up prior to updating, in case one decides to revert to the previous ESRs (128.12.0rc2 and 140.2.0, respectively); just sayin' , not suggesting people shouldn't update...

... And un-archived now : https://github.com/Eclipse-Community/r3dfox

Click on "Manual Update" in the left-side (Windows Update) menu Enter "intel" or "gigabit" as the Search Keyword (not "prowin") Click "Search" (scroll down if needed) Links to three versions of the Intel driver appear on the right. No, but the drivers above might work if you modify the inf file or force-install. Open a new NT4 LAN thread to report test results or for more discussion.

Earlier I mentioned that modern Intel was a lot faster in a specific software compared to modern AMD. After investigating, turns out that the issue is not with XP/XP64 on modern hardware, but with the company compiler the program was created with. Back in the XP era, a compiler from a certain lawsuit happy company compiled in such a way so that CPUID was checked, and if the cpu was not from that company, lets say AMD, then it used basic instruction set only instead of SIMD (MMX/SSE/SSE2/etc...) https://www.felixcloutier.com/x86/cpuid snippet here is just after cpuid was run and loaded ebx,edx,ecx into memory, you can see the vendor identification string being compared to the memory locations cmp [ebp+...], 75 6E .. .. h if it matches then flag is set to "1" mov eax, 1 if cpu was does not pass vendor identification string, then it sets flag to zero xor eax,eax code continues on to test if flag was set to 1, and if it was continues on to the rest of the code where the SIMD occurs test eax,eax if not then goes to the end of the subroutine to the same place as if it was a "good" vendor identification string but one that reported no SIMD capabilities. cmp [ebp+..], 0 jz loc_5431EC To fix problem, you can search in IDA for the 3x 4 character grouping starting with 756E.... and replacing the first conditional jump JNZ "75 xx" with an JMP "EB yy." so that it skips the checks and goes straight to setting the flag "mov eax,1". Fortunately the certain company compiler was not really popular for games, but more for computational/scientific software. By making the change the AMD processor got a 3x speed boost thanks to now being allowed to use SIMD instructions.

Thanks! I'll take a look at those files, after extracting them. Since the driver source is available, I may have to backport them that way. I'll need to familiarize myself with the differences between WDM versions, and setup up the correct compiler/build tooling. From where I stand now, I can't see why some of the more interesting features could not work with earlier WDM systems; but that is just from reading about the differences "on paper". The main developer did mention "not" supporting win98fe due to the WDM version; then later Win98se was also dropped. However, for my target features (ASIO, Soundfont support, hardware mixing/routing, DSP FX, etc) I'm not sure where the problem would have been. It may have been an issue with how the whole thing was written. The same developer also mentioned requiring a near total rewrite, in order to support more features. I'm not sure how (yet) leaning into newer WDM specifications could have caused that (it was probably something else). If it was the case, then I could be in trouble. I think the need for a heavy rewrite had something to do with wanting to support EAX and higher audio sample rates (ASIO was fixed at 48000hz). There was also some talk about needing a near complete rewrite, to support ALSA (Linux); but that doesn't mean much here. Thanks again, for the tips. If I have any luck there, I'll report back.

Supermium is fundamentally a standard Chromium-based browser, so any extension from the Chrome Web Store should work with it. Even old Manifest V2 extensions will still work with it.

Thank you ,I'll try it,I‘m confused because I didn't update certificate on my virtualmachine but qq.exe worked well... Update: I used CAupdater to update the certificate, qq.exe worked well...

I'm 99% sure that he DOES understand. And I agree with roytam. He is here to support his brower variants. He is not here to support extensions. His browsers are NOT 'technically' *modern*. Removing ID checking would open up a whole can of worms where the "userbase" would ASSUME that *modern* extensions are supposed to "work". Roytam's browsers are only 80% modern. Sure, we could debate if that is actually 80% or 90% or 98%. But the reality is that they are NOT 100%! Why in Hades would roytam open his browsers up to an onslaught of support enquiries asking why a thousand extensions do not work because they rely on the 20% (or 10% or 2%) that his browsers simply cannot "do"?

Does "in general" also include "AntiViral Toolkit Pro for Windows 95 Beta by Eugene Kaspersky (C) KAMI Corp., Russia, 1992-1996"? It probably still runs under WinXP and surely is no risk. The term "in general" always implies "exceptions", so I agree with you. And I do appreciate your comments, especially from a person a generation younger than I am, who is interested in Windows XP! The risk depends on the version and build, reflecting how Kaspersky mutated. Microsoft also mutated, and I like the old XP version of Windows. BTW, AntiViral Toolkit Pro by Eugene Kaspersky was distributed in the US, around 1996-98, by a company called "Central Command Inc.", sounds like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Central_Command - what a mutation! But again, I'll move on. I personally have all I need regarding antivirus under WinXP, and there are several other topics at msfn to which I may contribute. My recent postings here were intended to share my experience of updating my antivirus program via VPN. VPN under WinXP has become recently one of my current projects of interest.

Overview of script loading methods for Mypal 68 This is a ranking list of all script loading methods for Mypal 68, which I am aware of, and reflects the experiences from my tests in the currently most recent versions 68.14.4b and 68.14.5b of this browser. Edit (05.05.2025): This ranking list is valid up to and including version 68.14.7b: Nuchi-Sporif script loading method Alice0775-Nuchi script loading method Nuchi script loading method Alice0775 script loading method Aris-t2/Ardiman-Endor8 script loading method Endor8 script loading method Xiaoxiaoflood script loading method The Nuchi-Sporif script loading method in 1st place is the one I have been making available for download here since 2022. All scripts that are really compatible with Firefox 68+ work with this method in Mypal 68 right from the start. The Alice0775-Nuchi script loading method in 2nd place works similarly well if a small fix I was able to find due to an error message in the browser console is made in its code. The pure Nuchi script loading method in 3rd place does not automatically recognise scripts in the chrome folder. They must be imported manually by the user. But this method works just as well as the two previous methods. The pure Alice0775 script loading method in 4th place is actually available only starting from Firefox 72. But I also got it working in Mypal 68 if I remember correctly. I have tested so much that it is sometimes difficult to keep an overview. If anyone is wondering why I'm bothering with other script loading methods at all when the best one has already been provided by me, then I should mention at this point that the Nuchi-Sporif script loading method no longer works as of Firefox 72. Incidentally, this applies to all Nuchi script loading methods. Since I don't know what @feodor2 plans to do with Mypal 68 in the future and to what extent compatibility will be maintained, it's good to know what alternatives are available. In any case, the methods in 4th to 7th place are also available for higher Firefox versions. When using the Aris-t2/Ardiman-Endor8 or the pure Endor8 script loading method, however, some scripts need to be additionally fixed which I have already successfully done in some cases but this is not always easy. In any case, these two methods led to more fixes to be done in scripts than the methods from 1st to 4th place and need deeper JavaScript and CSS knowledge. Unfortunately, the Xiaoxiaoflood script loading method in 7th place was the worst. Many of the scripts I use do not work with this method. Nevertheless, there are at least 7 methods to load UC.JS scripts in Mypal 68, even if they vary in their structure, user-friendliness and script compatibility. Greetings, AstroSkipper

The four files are now password protected and stops MediaFire from spreading further untruths. That's quite enough for me.

The files were uploaded to MediaFire by me more than two years ago. Only in the last few months they have been flagged as malicious by MediaFire. They are probably using some new scanner that works just as well as Kaspersky.

"A" guy, as in there are many of you? Or you meant the guy, as in the only one. Thanks.

I'm lookin' for 348.10 32bit, it's hardcoded to my laptop. can't use any others, neither of those still working sites have it. (

Why should I test things I hate and which are already reported elsewhere to be working? So, there is no contradiction at all and nothing is misleading. This thread is not about modern Firefox browsers. So, I fear you are somehow confused and misled as you didn't really follow this thread and my thread about Mypal 68 in its entirety. And BTW, you did nothing meaningful here. One doesn't have to put his two cents in everywhere. Especially if one doesn't need Mypal 68 at all. And as you already stated, you are a Windows 10 user at home. This browser is not meant to be used under this OS. And you do not surf anymore under Windows XP. So, you have no real use for this browser.

I'm glad to hear it. 1. What search are you talking about? 2. Sorry but that is not true. The UserCSSLoader script is fully working in Mypal 68.14.4b. Here is a short demo: The "Import styles"is only necessary if new styles are added or some styles have been edited. When starting the browser, all styles are automatically loaded by this script. And what do you want to open? The CSS folder? A stylesheet in an editor? The userchrome.css file? Please describe it a bit more detailed! I can't do anything with statements like that. In any case, if all is configured as I described in my instructions very detailed inside the uploaded archive, then all features of the UserCSSLoader script are definitely working. The reported issue was its CSS stylesheet which does not work in Mypal 68.14.5b only. 3. Sorry but that is not true, either. The Custom Buttons extension works fine in Mypal 68.14.4b. At the moment, I have installed 11 custom buttons in this browser. Here is a short demo: For installing a custom button, you click the "Open file" dialogue from the browser main menu, go to the Restart & Purge v2.0 10-12-24 003806.htm file I uploaded for you and click onto it. Everything else goes without saying. If you want to see my most recent Process Mode Toggler custom button in action in Mypal 68.14.4b, then have a look at here: https://msfn.org/board/topic/183495-mypal-68/?do=findComment&comment=1275154

Here is a short demo of the Extension Options Menu script: This script is no longer working in Mypal 68.14.5b due to the recent changes. You won't find anything comparable. This is an Add-ons Manager in the form of a toolbar button. Webextensions can't do that due to their restrictions. That's why you can't find any working Add-ons Manager extensions on Mozilla Firefox extensions page. P.S.: At this point, I should mention that this script works in more recent, official Firefox releases but no longer in Mypal 68.14.5b. And I totally forgot to show in the clip that a left-click onto an extension opens its Options. Even uninstalling extensions can be done via this script. In short, a fast Add-ons Manager in the form of a toolbar button.

Sorry. It seems you really don't get it. The Custom Buttons extension works in the official Firefox releases in general, even in the latest versions. And so do my and other custom buttons created with this extension. If the latest version of Mypal 68 no longer supports this extension, then that is actually an issue that does not even occur in the official Mozilla versions. And you won't understand the problem if you are not a user of Mypal 68 and this extension. You are a Chrome/Chromium user and has abandoned Windows XP. Your self-created, proprietary buttons have nothing to do with this topic and are totally irrelevant. It's not about stopping software development, but rather about steering it in the right direction so as not to act even worse than Mozilla does. And for someone who hates raccoons 🦝, has never really been involved with Mypal 68 and is no longer a user of Windows XP, I don't understand what you're actually trying to accomplish here.

And here is a link from December of 2015 where you can compare the Free and the Plus version: https://web.archive.org/web/20151229143305/https://www.sphinx-soft.com/Vista/order.html Have a nice day, AstroSkipper

Error code 0x80070002 means ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND i.e. the System cannot find the file specified. You have to check your Windows Update Log to see which file can't be found and why.

You're absolutely right. I mixed up the date with Windows ME. I've checked my earliest image and it must have been created in 2004 but it doesn't exist any more. I had deleted all old images below Service Pack SP3. So my earliest version is of 2009. It had been a long time ago. Sorry for causing confusion!

By the way I have to tell you that the last time I had reinstalled Windows XP Professional was in 2004. Most of all errors I fixed in my system by myself. I hate errors and I have to get rid of them.That's my philosophy. Since 2004 I used constantly images to restore system partition only if nothing helped. Maybe that is a reason I've got some certificates and files in my system you do not have.

@maile3241 If there is no such file then it doesn't matter. Copy patched file in both folders and well done! Restart computer and check whether both files are still there. And then

@Dave-H Such an Intermediate Certificate Authorities called "Microsoft Update Secure Server CA 1" doesn't exist in my system. I agree to @Mathwiz your problem is most likely related to ProxHTTPSProxy. I had applied its cert. installer program "ProxHTTPS Cert Install.exe" too. If the mentioned version doesn't work for you try HTTPSProxy from @Thomas S.. That's what I use most of the time and it works flawlessly. No certificate problems and very comfortable with a launcher in your Taskbar Notification Area (SysTray) and a lot of options.

Hello, thanks for reply. I've already added these sites to Trusted Zone of IE and set security level to high. No chance. When you set security level to high Active scripting is disabled and Microsoft Update site can't install plugins meaning MU can't go on. Here a screenshot: https://imgur.com/o4P8B95

All these updates I had installed when they were offered via MU. I have the most recent root certificates updated by CAupdater and all updates incl. POSReady updates. But Microsoft Update doesn't work in IE. When Active scripting is enabled Microsoft Update is looping between http://fe2.update.microsoft.com/microsoftupdate/v6/default.aspx?ln=de and http://fe2.update.microsoft.com/microsoftupdate/v6/default.aspx. Without Active scripting no loop back but then you'll get Error number: 0x8DDD0001 like this: https://imgur.com/6jHMuyq

What certificate do you mean? cacert.pem in program folder of HTTPSProxy (using HTTPSProxy instead of ProxHTTPSProxy) or site certificates like fe2.update.microsoft.com.crt in cert folder of HTTPSProxy or what? Very confusing these comments in this topic.

Thanks for clarifying! You're right I have to test official binaries on a Windows 7 or 10 PC first to decide whether it is an official ffmeg issue or a problem of your mods. Thanks so far!
