Firefox 45 on 98FirstEdition isn't or is hardly testet. I've Firefox 45.9 and 48.0.2 (AzureContentBackend set to "skia" to avoid graphical and icon glitches) running on 98SE. Also DirectX 9c is highly recommended to activate Hardware acceleration. The specs are chip VIA P4M800, CPU Intel Northwood (SSE2), NV6600GT (AGP)/driver 82.16 and 1GB Ram. Unfortunately RoyTam's Firefox 45 doesn't work with skia. RoyTam disabled the compilation switch, so that's not possible. Versions 12 - 23 freeze on start and 36 - 41 crash. This is also all to find in my topic as well as the requirements. To make it easier first try to run a pre-configured, 98/ME optimised, portable version Firefox 35 or 31 I provide here.

IMO besides the nostalgia, a low-performing computer can be a reason to stick with browsers such Firefox 3.6. You know KernelEX offers the possibility to run Firefox 35 and even 52 and forks. For me, browsers like Firefox 3.6 hasn't been a solution for three or four years anymore. As is well known, albeit a little later Opera 12.02 browser also displayed the pages increasingly poorly. You are free to switch. I am currently using almost only Mypal/Palemoon29 on WinME and this works fine for my needs Yes, occasionally I press the "MinimiseMemory" addon button. For SSE only machines you can run e.g. RT's Firefox 45.

It's also possible to make the characters readable and I recommend to change the browser default fonts (Preferences/Content). You have vertical lines in the tabs and menus. TimesNewRoman isn't a good choice. The Kexstubs.ini is now modified.

A suggestion from me: Download Firefox 3.6.28 portable, install it somewhere, delete the firefox files in the Firefox subfolder (...\3.6 RoyTam\App\Firefox) of that installation and insert the (test) program files of e.g. fx36vc71-20171108_newnss.7z into it. In my opinion Portables are much better for testing. Then you get a fresh profile here. Of course you also can swap whole profiles or single files. https://sourceforge.net/projects/portableapps/files/Mozilla Firefox%2C Portable Ed./Mozilla Firefox%2C Portable Edition 3.6.28/FirefoxPortableLegacy36_3.6.28_EnglishGB.paf.exe/download I see these nss files here: FREEBL3.CHK FREEBL3.DLL NSS3.DLL NSSCKBI.DLL NSSDBM3.CHK has an old date 2012 NSSDBM3.DLL NSSUTIL3.DLL SMIME3.DLL SOFTOKN3.CHK SOFTOKN3.DLL SSL3.DLL

Instead of disabling something and maybe too much, try a reboot and check again. Typically in this case the calls shouldn't occur again after reboot.

I will remove the five entries and re-upload the file to avoid possible problems here. The "ConditionVariables" are supported by KexVista.dll. FF52.9 don't need them!

Yes, you said K-Meleon freezes on Tuesday. You can replace files. I rename the original file mostly with an "o" as Backup and then I paste the ones of the other version. nss files are also free...dll and soft...dll.

It should not be called. Disable ConditionVariables with ";": ;SleepConditionVariables= or delete this entry in your Kstub824.ini. You don't need ConditionVariables for Version 52.9.

RT'sFirefox3.6/ Win98SE: I still can't reproduce freezing on Trendmicro. The versions without newnss 20171014/20171025/20171108 give known message "Secure connection failed...", due to the "old" nss files. Did you try to run without extensions and with plugins disabled?

I was inquisitive and did some tests with RT'S Firefox 3.6newnss. Probably the crashes on download are Win ME/js3250.dll specific and are independent of the KernelEX version or Kext. A Workaround, but not checked further: I took JS3250.DLL and MOZCRT19.DLL from original Firefox 3.6.28 (2012) and inserted them into RT'S Firefox 3.6newnss with the result that I was able to download files without crash. Interestingly the older version of 2017 10 25 gives no crashes on download, but bookmark and history functions don't work here (Win ME). I also ran Firefox 3.6 newnss on Win98SE and it didn't freeze on this trendmicro page or crashed on download. I think RoyTam has never tested this program on WinME.

Set XP mode, if it is better on your system. And set Msvcr80.dll (Program Folder) to Base (Kexbases,Kexbasen). It should avoid runtime errors. Windows 2000 SP4 mode is the normal and envisaged setting on the firefox 3 exe. Does the fresh profile make a difference? I can hardly contribute to this at the moment, because I have not dealt with this further.

Backup the profile folder and keep it. The trend micro page loads here, but I get an error / crash (firefox caused an error in JS3250.DLL ) on download. Maybe I could fix that with special KernelEx settings. I use neither Firefox 3.6 nor K_meleon 74 on ME. The page doesn't freeze on K-M74 here. I set Msvcr80.dll in the K-Meleon program folder to Base (Kexbases,Kexbasen). Latest http://o.rthost.win/gpc/files1.rt/KM74-g22-20210814.win2000.7z

Do you have the one with "new nss" files (2020 01 31). http://o.rthost.win/gpc/files1.rt/fx36vc71-20171108_newnss.7z

I think you mean IpTest.zip. https://msfn.org/board/topic/131700-tihiys-tools/

Thanks for your tips! @Welder your link gives "Censored / Error 451 - The page is blocked..." @ Goodmaneuver, I think I'll do that in the future. I usually edit a copy of my Kstub.ini file. Instead of copy I created a shortcut. I noticed my mistake after saving, so that I overwrote the file. I already searched with TuneUp Undelete and Piriform Recuva for deleted files of recent date. However, the files found were older.

I didn't suspect that at first, this happened because tested Win7 dll's. I renamed SSPICLI.DLL and changed Authz.dll and Apphelp.dll to the version of XPSP3. The "Reg API's" have disappeared.

I didn't untie the Mypal68 knot so far and I deleted my main Kstub.ini today through a stupid negligence. The latest Backup is three month old. Pity! My new "Maypal68.ini" has improvements, but I still have problems with browser crashes on video start (of course not Mypal68, that doesn't run), the Vlc player 3 reacts very sensitively to different definitions, so that it very easily refuses to start and similar applies to Notepad++ 7.x.x. Notepad++ 8 needs at least uxtheme.dll to be updated. Note: This ini file may not be secure and has only been tested with a few programs.

I see at Kernel32.dll in the ParentImportFunctionListView "Reg... API's, like RegCreateKeyExW= RegCloseKey, RegDeleteKeyExW, RegDeleteValueW, RegEnumKeyExW and others (whole Reg API group). Instead of Kernel32 these should be supported by ADVAPI32. My suspicion is there something wrong in Kexbasen here. One idea, maybe I'm totally wrong. I stumbled over the shunimpl.dll, it seems to me a library/collection of ordinals. If so, could it be somehow usable as a aux Kex dll??

DependencyWalker - Mypal.exe: No red marked error in the profiling log. Message "Couldn't load XPCOM" at "unload "NSS3.DLL" at address 0x00F00000 by thread 0xFFCB94E3". LGPLLIBS.DLL unloaded before. Used: Ucrtbase.dll 10.0.14393.795. Mypal 68 runs also with older Ucrtbase.dll 10.0.14393.795 on XP (briefly tested). So I think version 10.0.17763.1 isn't required and this version isn't the reason why Maypal 68 doesn't start. (Ucrtbase.dll is compatible up to version 10.0.14xxx.xxx. Ucrtbase.dll of Maypal (68) (10.0.16 / 10.0.17 (68) is not compatible with my ME/KernelEX.)

I tried new Mypal 68.12.1, but it doesn't run. I have already disabled browser.tabs.remote.autostart and have edited dependentlibs.list. It runs on my WinXP. So there might be hope! From what I've seen, it's running great on XP. His work on DX9 isn't finished.

I didn't tried that update from retrosystemsrevival.blogspot.com. I had successfully updated the certificates using "https://msfn.org/board/topic/181915-system-certificates-updater-the-easy-way/" method on ME/KernelEx.

I had just run successfully the Flash plugin 21.0.0.242 player in Firefox 35.01 portable.

Firefox 43 and higher: Some time ago I tried the environment variable "MOZ_DISABLE_OOP_PLUGINS" 1. But as far as I can remember I had a serious problem. And simply renaming the plugin-container.exe didn't work, too. https://www.fluxbytes.com/software-tips/how-to-disable-plugin-container-exe/ https://support.mozilla.org/de/questions/994307 Do I get it right, that you can run Firefox up to version 35? Or is it only Firefox 43 that doesn't run?

You should be able to use the Flash Player up to Firefox version 42. You must disable the plugin container. See issues (dom.ipc.plugins.enabled;false and dom.ipc.plugins.timeoutSecs;-1). I've no workaround for higher versions.

See issues on the first page: Did you try: 1. * Own fonts of pages can be blurred or unreadable. Recommended: Uncheck "Allow pages to choose their own fonts". Tools > Options > Content > Advanced or better 2. * Squares and boxes instead of icons: Install suitable fonts - Awesomefont (version 4.7 tested) for this Site and and see Workaround browser.display.use_document_fonts;1 (Allow pages to choose their own fonts) gfx.downloadable_fonts.enabled;false prefs.js: pref("font.name-list.sans-serif.x-western", "Arial, Symbola, FontAwesome, Segoe UI Emoji, OpenSansEmoji, Microsoft Sans Serif"); pref("font.name-list.sans-serif.x-unicode", "Arial, Symbola, FontAwesome, Segoe UI Emoji, OpenSansEmoji, Microsoft Sans Serif"); pref("font.name-list.serif.x-western", "Times New Roman, Symbola, FontAwesome, Segoe UI Emoji, OpenSansEmoji, Arial"); pref("font.name-list.serif.x-unicode", "Times New Roman, Symbola, FontAwesome, Segoe UI Emoji, OpenSansEmoji, Arial"); Vertical Line: Change fonts e.g. Tahoma or Arial (System font / Firefox Menu>options>content) I can't help, if it has really to do with the AutoPatcher.
