I added another 31.8esr portable with extensions CTR, PlainOldFav and the switcher QuickJava (javascript, style, Image ...) to the first post. QuickJava makes it easy and fast to toggle between enabled and disabled. There are many other JS switcher extensions, which may also be interesting. I tested many prefs, but so far, I have little to report. The UOC Patch is optimised for P3 systems and for speed, but less for stability. On my systems FF isn't slow in any case. The settings I tried generally had no effect. The Adobe Flash plugin must be disabled, otherwise FF will crash. Tested with FlashPlayer 21.0.0.242. I also installed and tried 32.0.0.363 without success. This version doesn't work in old FF versions, too, on ME/98.

Hi Wunderbar98, my real name is Markus, as I said my lowest start was with ME, IE6SP1, DirectX9c and KernelEX with the latest update files - not more. A test without IE6SP1 and DirectX is still pending. looking4awayout states DX9c is necessary for his patches. Mozilla gives XPSP2, CPU with SSE2, 512MB RAM and 200MB hard drive space. But yes, FF31.8 doesn't run perfect, it happens that it freezes or crashes on some websites, but it is much better than Opera 12.02 or FF24 here. By now too many pages are no longer opened and give errors like Unable to complete secure transaction Show Details Secure connection: fatal error (40) from server. Of course, there are differences between 98 and ME. Just recently, I wanted to focus the investigation more on the hardware.

Thanks, it's confusing. Latest Sheet.dll is in Update 21. It is file version 19. In Update 18 is file version 18.

I tested the UOC Enforcer and the UOC Patch briefly on my i915/Pentium630 machine without major changes. The FF version was 31.8. I removed only the WebGL settings, because of the blocked WebGL renderer. Those prefs must be effectless. The latest ME/9x graphics drivers and also my graphics card are fourteen years old. There's no support for OpenGL ES 2.0. FF seem to be (perhaps) a little bit slower, but it ran. It was only one short test.

I don't have new tweaks for FF yet. I tried to understand the structure of KM(76) a little better.

looking4awayout - thanks for confimation Apparently I have much fewer problems with JS than other members. I don't have a VM and I have no hardware or a running system of the Coppermine/Tualatin/Willamette era to test. There could be some, but not many JS settings to make FF 31.8 more stable here. I think it runs almost as good as on XP. So that makes not much sense to experiment with the UOC Patch here on my systems. But I will take a deeper look on my i915P/Pentium630 machine. Requirements for the UOC Patch: A DirectX 9.0c capable graphics card with at least a 128 bit buss A 800MHz CPU or faster for better performance Enough RAM to support New Moon 27/Firefox 45 ESR SSE and other Roytam1's Mozilla based browsers Maybe we should take a special look on the graphicscard and their drivers. I think it is helpful to make a "Hardware/Driver/VM/RealMachine/IE version/directx/rating" list of your systems with regard to the Javascript problems. To compare: My system: Real Machine, Win ME, IntelG41, Core2Duo E8400, 3,5GB Ram DDR2, NV7800GT (256MB) - Driver NV82.16, directX9c, IE6SP1

I would like to come back to K-Meleon 76.x. I think it could or should be possible to use it. It is an option to see youtube videos again. I believe there is only a small step necessary. I can start it (exe and xul to XPSP2+) and the shell/UI doesn't seem to be as buggy as of KM74, as far as I can judge that in offline mode and as far as I can test, it is even possible to save bookmarks without the runtime error - But not readable. Jumper is able to get online and I guess roytam has the knowlege and skills to fix the mainly garbaged KM menus on ME/98. The menus are unreadable since KM75.1. You can argue about the KM's beauty. To play youtube videos FF 43 is required and it is currently more apart than KM76. I don't know, if it has already been said somewhere, skin dbTango is a good choice for KM74.

USB 2.0 for ME - I use this driver as long I've Win ME. It must be installed manually. It usually works well, but I should remove the stick before I boot to ME again. Depending on the system, it can make a patition muddle for the session. The sys files must be in C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS after installation. Driver on MDGX

KernelEx Apps Compatibility List (New)

Yes, it was and is baffling me, too. VLC doesn't need Msvcrt90. My experiments with Msvcrt90 always led to errors. But if I remember correctly, I never have checked BWC's Msvcrt. -
It's for 38 ESR based browsers, but very likely many of the prefs are also suitable for FF31 or 35.

Firefox 31.8esr 1. PlainOld Favorites 2. no Tab artifacts 3. "browser.newtabpage.enabled" set to false for more stability 4. Startpage.com instead of Google => working Adressbar
-
Notepad++ is a problematic page. FF freezes. I tried the site with 31.8 on XP and it freezes, too. Yes, if I disable JS, it loads immediately.
-
Surprised I've found I can start roytam's KM76 on Goanna 3.4.5. It remains offline and the submenus are mainly unreadable - Questionmarks and boxes. I guess a missing font. Goanna 3 based on Gecko 38esr platform code.............. K_Meleon 75.1 goes online, but has already the submenu font issue. 75.0 hasn't the font glitch and is also 31esr based. It runs but seem to have similar quirks as KM74.

I have 2 and 3.5 GB Ram here (real machines), but I guess 1GB is sufficient for FF and SM of that era. Mozilla specifies 512MB. My systems: 1. Win ME, G41, Core2Duo, 3,5GB Ram, NV7800GT; 2. ME, i915, Pentium 630, 2 GB Ram, NV7800GT; 3. Win ME, G31, Core2Duo, 3,5GB Ram, NV7900GS I let FF manage the cache.

Or it should be enough to delete only the search.json file before you start seamonkey.
-
I don't need to reset my profile. Did you try that - FF28+ (Seamonkey 2.25): With the first run remove Google from the search engine Manager list, maybe more engines you don't want and set the search.json file quickly to read only. Then add your favorite engines. It's a little bit tricky. This may not work on the first try.

I think you misunderstood me a little. Now I'm running FF 31.8 fast, almost always stable, the pages are loading as fast as on XP. JS generally works, of course you find JS errors in the console. Errors also occur in Opera 12.02. I'm pretty happy with that. The problem I mentioned before is that the "Speed Dial" - Opera calls it Speed Dial - can cause the crash. But, if I set "browser.newtabpage.enabled" to false, the "Speed Dial" isn't available. I also don't use this function in Opera. Yes, I already tried Seamonkey (...2.32, 2.33), but I don't see any advantage in comparison with FF here.

FF often crashes when I open a new tab. The exact reason is still unclear to me - what settings lead to it? It has to do with the new tab page. Setting "browser.newtabpage.enabled" to false solves it. Then the page remains blank. This is basically not a problem, because the content of the page is without function anyway on ME. The other possibilities to continue the work on the new tab are on hand.

I don't have payed much attention to it today. But many thanks. That's a hell of a lot! You have to know exactly what you're looking for. Is there something like a category search?
-
Good finding! Yesterday I also installed the ClassicThemeRestorer, but I haven't looked for preferences. I saw the same tab artifacts like on FF27 and 28. I believe SquareTabsClassicV2 works as good as Australized V2. CTR1.5.3 is available on GitHub, too. CTR 1.5.3

Are there any Firefox extensions/ themes archives from that time (2014 - 2015)? The "ca-archive-2.0.1.xpi", min. version set to 24 in the rdf file, gives a unusable, blank add-on page on FF35. A reboot to XP and running it on FF52.9 is very inconvenient.
-
...but previous Firefox versions had the ability to let you use the tabs below the address bar, not on top. Apparently, around v3x.x they stopped it? That could fix the problem with the rendering of these tabs. Toggle "browser.tabs.onTop" to false doesn't solve the glitch on FF27. Version 31.7 doesn't have that boolean anymore. Creating that boolean and set it to false does nothing.
-
History: In general, restore previous session, recently closed tabs and recently closed window can work on FF24 - 27, 31.7 and 35.0.1. The rest not. I haven't checked the other versions. Bookmarks aren't saved. I haven't connected a printer the last years and the cartridges are not usable anymore.
