A big thank you to all parties involved... However, seeing MSFN down for more than 5 days (the longest since the time I registered), without any clues as to what was going on, "member flags" was the least of my worries...

Just to say that xper should have re-enabled the flags for everyone now, so you should all now be able to see where people are from!

I maintain my sister's (work) computer which runs Win7 SP1 x64; once I upgraded her from Fx 88.0.1 to 89.0, I was most unpleasantly surprised , appalled is the word I'd choose ; she wasn't thrilled by the change, either... Especially on Win7 with aero enabled, the new Fx GUI (fogged tab bar) doesn't blend at all with the OS... TBH, I've stopped getting informed about Mozilla's planned shenanigans some years ago; they did lose me as a user (and a Nightly tester) when they made the decision to drop support for my favourite OS (Vista) ; I only skim the Release Notes every time I update

Official Pale Moon requires at minimum Win7, so support requests for it should be better directed/placed in the respective OS forums... Be that as it may, if users of PM wish to install "legacy" Firefox-only targeting extensions, against the wishes of PM's makers, the method to go by is probably the one below: 1. First enable the setting pointed out by @nicolaasjan, i.e. PM won't block any blacklisted add-ons (the same setting can be achieved via about:config, by disabling the blocklist completely, extensions.blocklist.enabled => false or, alternatively, render it ineffecti

The Extended Kernel project is still active, but the amount of time I have to work on it has dropped to new lows for various reasons. In fact, I was investigating the Firefox 89 font rendering breakage, and was planning on upgrading win32k to fix it (and upgrading win32k will help with gdi32 and DX components; plus, something in win32k bugchecks me when I close Waterfox G3 sometimes). But I am only near real Vista hardware for 2 out of every 14 days through late August. One side note: I have finally found something that surpasses Vista in performance on my HP Z600 workstation, while

I can confirm that flags are visible now, so perhaps something good came out of MSFN’s 5-day outage.

uBlock Origin Legacy 1.16.4.29 (Jun 12, 2021) is out: https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock-for-firefox-legacy/releases/tag/firefox-legacy-1.16.4.29

I'm skeptical on the whole thing like I was with Windows 10. I've been using Windows 10 as a daily driver for a year now and even though I'm not fond of it, it drives a lot of the programs I've been running. So while it's not bad, it's not awesome and I've had more problems with it than my beloved Windows 2000. But of course as we've seen time and time again from Microsoft, there are usually a lot of bugs and stability issues with vanilla releases of Windows and don't really improve until the service packs start rolling out. It would be nice to see actual service packs again rather than these

Same could be said for windows os 6.x (10 too as it was 6.4 not long ago). GUI fixing until it's broken (10) and made unusable. The problem is there is no alternative; ReactOS is still way off despite the latest activity and if there weren't roytam's Serpent browser, us XP veterans would have nothing.

A little off topic but it's hilarious the uproar over the Firefox "refresh" Proton. Who didn't expect it, I can't think of a designer change in the last 10 years that ever got better, it's always worse. Youtube same thing. Mozilla's obsession with the UI and their constant changes is going to cost them even more users.

My favourite band is Scorpions . I see German bands are quite popular , I'm no exception. Scorpions are a German (Western Germany) rock band formed in 1965 in Hanover by Rudolf Schenker. https://www.the-scorpions.com My favourite Scorpions' albums are : almost all up to 1990 . In 1993 , with the release of their new studio album (recorded in New York) , the sound became distorted . Read here : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loudness_war I guess the sound studio manager is/was deaf. They didn't need to change their recording studio. Before that the sound is/was

MSFN, it's people. I'm glad she's alive and well.

OK, panic over! I discovered that the problem was that my HOSTS file wasn't being read properly by Windows. sky.com has to be blocked there or the messages take ages to display because it's looking for a web font which it can't access. This was the original problem several years ago in fact! According to my research, the system not reading the HOSTS file properly after it's been modified is not at all uncommon. Despite it looking like a plain text file, Windows is actually quite fussy about how it's formatted. Eventually I restored a backup, which worked! Fingers crossed th

I mean - why is it any more stupid then any other OS they've dropped support for? XP wasn't supported for much further past its EOS... And, at this point, most hardware already has stopped support for 7, usually long ago thanks to microsofts meddling in 2017/18. Vista was more or less lumped into XPs EOS for nvdia as it had not much market share. Windows 8 is the vista here. I see nothing going on with this that doesn't make sense.

I'd have hope if this was a Windows 10 problem but it's really not. It's everywhere, if you want to make all the money, ads, spyware, free as in cost, Whatever as a Service, etc is the business model, google, apple , facebook, gaming companies, everyone is doing it, and as long as this stays we'll never get a proper operating system again (other than ones not controlled by corporations like linux). Windows 11 will just have a lot more of everything we hate in 10. More ads, more "telemetry", even more restrictive like Mac, it's our PC now you use it the way we tell you to or we make your life h

Only the "Canvas.poisondata" setting prevents Canvas fingerprinting: https://browserleaks.com/canvas and of course prevents only this type of fingerprinting. As I have already written only the extension: https://addons.palemoon.org/addon/canvasblocker-legacy/ prevents in our browsers the ClientRects Fingerprinting. For other types of fingerprinting, for example font fingerprinting, it is possible to adopt countermeasures, which unfortunately are often partial, in about:config. Some info often general and not specific to the browsers we use,i

(offtopic) There is still the preference "browser.menu.showViewImageInfo", which you can set to "true". And the interface can be changed with userChrome.css and userContent.css. See e.g. : https://github.com/black7375/Firefox-UI-Fix. (adds back icons to the "hamburger menu" as well) Screenshot:

myself, i stopped caring about any win release ever since win 8 betas came out IMO win7 was last "shiny knight", everything after crappozolla

Well spotted! The thing is I had the following rule in uB0's My Filters ! Block globally AdobeDTM SatelliteLib scripts ||adobedtm.com^$third-party,important ... since many months ago , so that's why I was able to load the referenced links in my previous post ... The crux of the issue is UXP's incompatibility with the SatelliteLib Adobe are including in their tracking scripts , so yes, ALL UXP- based browsers/forks are affected... In fact, if you search for "adobedtm.com" in the official PM forums, you'll discover many related cases: https://forum.palemoon.org/search.php?key

Kill Em All to black album (the one you linked) and Garage Inc I like, anything starting with Load (I can't stand to hear that one) is not for me.

Look for Blackviper's site, he has a list of all services wiith details on what can be disabled, what shouldn't, etc. for NT based systems starting from XP. jaclaz

I know Mandarin and by one chance I heard from zhihu.com (for those of you who don't know: it's Chinese counterpart of quora.com) that some simplified Chinese Windows XP users can still receive old Windows updates after SHA-1's switching off. But "can receive old SHA-1 updates" != "support continues and extends to a certain future date". I don't think extended support to 2021 is true for simplified Chinese Windows Vista users residing in China; dunno what source of the information is from. I did comment to some Windows Vista related posts on zhihu.com, that Windows Vista can install Serve

it is quite funny how many who do not understand German language proper listens german bands. German language sounds so strong I guess to be nice to listen even if wont understand

The impact a consumer makes is nothing to the manufacturer. Even if a person decides to not buy a certain type of car, or even if enough people decide, the industry could take years to adjust and stop manufacturing something. So the environmental impact from manufacturing is not something the consumer has any control over. And besides, the manufacturer already had made that car that is on the lot, the impact of its creation already occurred. And the one thing that the politicians do not take into account, when they make these laws (or want to or are trying to) regarding cars and the envir

Don't get me started on that one! I believe in personal accountability and you CAN RETIRE if you live your life properly! Don't buy a home that takes you thirty years to pay off (I paid off mine in THREE! - the bank pre-approved me for a $350,000 mortgage, I bought a $67,000 three-bedroom one-bath while driving a paid-off 18yr old car rusting out from under me). Don't live in vain so much so that you trade cars in every three to four years because you want to be seen in something "new". Don't buy a brand new vehicle and put yourself under a 6-year auto loan at the age of 62

Yes, I'm sure! I don't think that xper has said what the problem was. Just for information, here is where some of us have regrouped for the last few years if there is an outage on MSFN.

I quit bying Nvidia in early 2014 (when they removed CSAA for no reason). And I was a loyal customer for 20 years and bought only the top of the line. Folks need to learn how to use their purchasing power.

hype has to exist

Intel driver is here , just choose win 8.1 https://downloadcenter.intel.com/product/88180/Intel-Core-i3-6100U-Processor-3M-Cache-2-30-GHz-

If you have Pentium N3700 or a similar one , look here and choose win 8.1 https://downloadcenter.intel.com/product/87261/Intel-Pentium-Processor-N3700-2M-Cache-up-to-2-40-GHz-

I do (indeed) feel @roytam1 has dome such an amazing job with Serpent 52.9.0 - I've been having no issues with the last two builds and look forward to continued success with this project as well as his other projects going forward :)

I'm on Vista without any updates and not gonna "upgrade".

I can give you a free advice , yes I'm in a good mood today and I still think we can be friends , esp. being from the same generation . Why won't you compare the original files with your modded files from the same version , of course {using any HEX propramme} and publish the results here ? As simple as that.

1 - I'm sorry, I didn't see where you said about the other files needed to be fixed too. Perhaps I missed something , but you were talking about options and chrome.dll only. 2 - I didn't document it too , but if you think we need a guide , you're welcome to create one and be it's leader . I will publish my own findings there or you can just copy them from here and mention me. I will definitely add on if I remember or find something new. Though, I think 360chrome is not very popular. BTW , do you know how to restore Aero ? I'm tired of that ugly and flat win8/10 skin.

Hi I have exactly the same problem with his links, it does not work on Firefox 52.9,Mypal ,Centaury, Serpent 52/55,Newmon 27/28, Bnavigator, Firefox 45.9.33, Iceape-upx and Otter-browser on windows XP It works very well if you use a proxy on all these browsers PROXY I think the problem is " https://www.msnbc.com " which poses a problem with OS XP "

uninstall it

I'm feeling: Content

I'm feeling: Disconnected :(

Thank you so much Vistapocalypse and VistaLover Installing Net Framework 4.6.0 and uninstalling 4.8 fixed my Handbreak and EasyBcd you guys are amazing. Never tried the extended kernel on Vista I am very satisfied the vanilla version since I disabled the multimedia class scheduler this maschine it is the quickest DLNA server in my house.

Hi legacyfan. Firefox 52.9 installs its own h264 decoder and does not need a codec pack. (Roytam1’s browser builds need third-party decoders, but I don’t think his instructions call for installation.) Are you trying to watch YouTube videos with Firefox or what exactly?

Not exactly what you're looking for, but you can make a bookmarklet like this: Name: "Wayback Archive" Location: javascript:void(window.open('https://web.archive.org/web/*/'+location.href)); (will work in any browser) Try for example with: https://www.ghacks.net/

WU is the way to go. The method greenhillmaniac provided is for manual updating and safekeeping of updates incase MS takes them down. I would say just use WU and dont install any from the repo,which is what i do everytime.

Thanks for clarifying that. Apparently it doesn’t really matter which Server 2008 monthly rollup is installed then (so no point in quibbling about the meaning of “maxed out”), although there might perhaps be a minimum? I also wonder what version of .NET Framework 4.x you have installed (if any)? Installing versions that did not support Vista might be possible, but this thread has long since convinced me that it isn’t really a great idea.

Idk what his issue is tbh but, in my case i have been using vista on maxed out updates (along with S2k8) and the kernel has worked fine at all times. Even for the newer version of the kernel i had the working WU client with sha-2 endpoints to provide me all the left out updates. All i can suggest to @winvispixp is get the WU client working from mdl and then see if it helps in anyway once all the updates are in order.
