    Did you try latest Retrozilla version. I think thats it: http://o.rthost.win/gpc/files1.rt/rzbrowser-tls12-20200127.7z http://o.rthost.win/gpc/files1.rt/retrozilla-suite-tls12-20200131.7z I tested RZ and I was able to receive and send. I have set for smtp and pop TLS, TLS 1.2 is supported, too, POP > no secure authentication and smtp > use Name and Password. KernelEx: It doesn't mean that you can run every XP program on ME/98. I never had tested Pop Peeper. 9x SSL Protocol WinSSLWrap should work with old 9x compatible eMail programs. It supports the necessary protocols, but of course the eMail program and WinSSLWrap need the appropriate matching settings. Services Configuration: POP or IMAP and, SMTP. e.g.: POP3 {SSL} Protocol: Enabled, SSL Tunnel, localhost, Listen Port 110 (then also Port 110 in the eMail program), Remote Host (pop.gmail.com) and Port see Help of your provider, use SSL for remote checked SMTP {SSL} Protocol: Enabled, SSL Tunnel, localhost, Listen Port 25 (then also Port 25 in the eMail program), Remote Host (smtp.gmail.com) and Port see Help of your provider, use SSL for remote checked eMail prog setting: PegasusMail - Yes, I see they removed older versions. https://www.afterdawn.com/software/network/email/pegasus.cfm/v4_51 The old versions are available on archive.org. https://web.archive.org/web/20100404035641/http://www.pmail.com/downloads_s3_t.htm no files on communityPM: https://web.archive.org/web/20150428030235/http://community.pmail.com/files/5/default.aspx

    Without KernelEx: Outlook Express (6sp1 here) still works with Windows 9x SSL Protocol WinSSLWrap! https://msfn.org/board/topic/174247-windows-9x-ssl-protocol-winsslwrap-117-rev-08/ It should also work with other eMail programs. Thunderbird 2.0.0.24 (Seamonkey 1.1.19) ? - currently no longer used DreamMail 4.6.8.2 ? - no longer in use With KernelEx: Thunderbird 3.1.20 ? / 9.0.1 ? / 10.0.12 ? - currently not testet - RT's "Network Security Services" updates should work for TB 9.0.1 (Seamonkey 2.6.1) and 10.0.12, too. http://o.rthost.win/gpc/files1.rt/Firefox10-new-nss.7z Pegasus Mail ? - currently not tested http://kernelex.sourceforge.net/wiki/Pegasus_Mail + core updates Thunderbird 52.9.1 https://msfn.org/board/topic/181424-firefox-24-52-for-me-and-98/ note the intructions - the account wizard doesn't work yet

    I wonder. if the M option or SPLIT8MB of RLoew's RAM Patch make a difference on your system.

    I never had problems to play from NTFS partitions up to VLC 0.8.6i (usually KernelEx disabled) with Paragon PNTFS installed. But, I can not say anything to Win95 and vlc from my side.

    Hallo, there is a MS update for Win ME 4.90.0.3001. Features Ctrl N, O ,S , P, Z, X, C, V, A. Search for unofficial ME ServicePacks. And I've one Pack, that includes Metapad 3.6 to replace MS Notepad. Website Metapad: https://liquidninja.com/metapad/ I can start version 5.1.2600.5512 on my ME KernelEX system, but it is not usable yet here. "Where is notepad.exe version 4.10.0.1999 from?" Probably unofficial https://msfn.org/board/topic/61749-98-se-sp-332/?do=findComment&comment=686701 see "key bindings patch" (15 years old)

    Bookmarks and history -library. Question: What works so far? It seems fully functional to me for Firefox 3.6.28 or RoyTam's Firefox 3.6. Firefox 45, 52 and forks: I imported my extensive Favorites to Firefox portable and some forks on XP to have all these bookmarks available on ME. In my case all bookmarks are present twice with them of PlainOldFavorites. The file places.sqlite with imported Favorites can be copied to replace one of another version or fork. - Accesses from existing bookmarks are written into the history. This means history works, if the webpage is already bookmarked. - Bookmarks can be moved between folders.

    Yes, Javascript usually works on my systems. I have apparent problems with older versions like 31 or 35. Of course, that's no surprise, due to the further development of JS. I ask, because there are some reports that it doesn't work at all and I'm not able to reproduce this. My lowest and oldest machines are Asus P4V800D-X , VIA PT880Ultra, Pentium 4 Northwood - SSE2, NV5900XT AGP8x + driver NV82.16, 2GB and MSI7104 Via P4M800, P4 Northwood SSE2, GF6600GT AGP / driver 82.69, 1GB.

    Do the Javascript problems arise on your system?

    i do still have search symbols in my mypal when using 0kb search.json as read only Maybe I hadn't investigated this thoroughly. No, the library window is empty. Portable version: History and the Bookmarks created on OS XP will be saved and remain usable on ME/98 - apart from that use extension PlainOldFavorites.

    OK, thanks for your specs. Firefox 52 also works with a "ati radeon 9250 pci". Which graphics driver do you use? 98SE on a SSD - Real Machine!? No not canvas - correct is gfx.content.azure.backends: skia,cairo The first one - here skia - is being used. The second or others are fallback backends, if the first fails. Of course only skia is needed and the others can be omitted. Firefox 52 is set to skia by default. gfx.canvas.azure.backends: Here it doesn't matter if it is set to cairo or skia. Backend Direct2D isn't supported and requires Direct3D 11 compositing. There is no workaround. Yes, you can do this. Probably you will not have the symbols of the search engines in the search field. If search.json is set to read only, Mypal / Firefox (28 - 44) create a second file "search.json.tmp" with every start.

    What glitches do you see with standard theme? And it would be nice, if you tell us about your system specifications (graphics/driver/CPU/RAM/VirtualM or RM....).

    Using without Kext: I want to add that the forwarding in the registry (SessionManager\KnownDLLs ) API-MS-Win-Core-RtlSupport-L1-1-0 => Ntdll.dll should be API-MS-Win-Core-RtlSupport-L1-1-0 => Kernel32.dll. Otherwise Mypal 28/29, Centaury, Cyberfox 52 and IceDragon don't run. Error: UCrtBase.dll is linked to missing Export-Ntdll.dll:RTLCaptureContext. I have the entry "[ntdll.dll] RtlCaptureContext=" in the stubs.ini file as an aid. RTLCaptureContext should be supported by Kernel32.dll (Kexbases) and I think this the cleaner solution.

    Since some things have changed after the last KernelEx update, I have revised the instructions on the first page. Due to the improved API support, apparently Kext is no longer necessary to run Firefox up to version 49 (SeaMonkey 2.46), Mypal 28/29, Centaury, Cyberfox 52, IceDragon 52 and K-Meleon 76. It is still needed for Firefox 50 - 52, SeaMonkey 2.48 - 2.49.5, IceCat 38/52 and IceWeasel 52.

    I don't know the KernelEX file versions you use. I think the core.ini is version 20.e. Edit Kstub824.ini and try RtlNtStatusToDosError=n1. If this doesn't work disable RtlNtStatusToDosError in Kstub824.ini ( ;RtlNtStatusToDosError= ), reboot and check the functionality. I just checked Ntdll.dll's of ME and 98SE and noted that RtlNtStatusToDosError is already supported. So it should be removed from Kstub824. So at some point and somehow it slipped into the ini by mistake.

    SumatraPDF 3.4.3 runs with KernelEX core update 25 (without Kext). It loads quite slowly here, but it seems to work. I tried compatibility modes Vista and Win7. A printer is not connected. Details: Versions 3.2 and higher: Installer works incorrectly, extremely slow and is not usable. Use zip or portable (launcher version 1.6.8. of SumatraPDF 2.2.1 instead of launcher 2.2) Old issue on 98/ME - tabs are not labelled. Toolbar is broken. Use XP versions 3.3.x provided in the XP forum here. 3.2 requires d2d1.dll and Kext: [GDI32.DLL] D3DKMTCreateDCFromMemory=n1 D3DKMTDestroyDCFromMemory=n1 I had set the value to n1, but there might be better definitions. kexbases has D3DKMT_CreateDCFromMemory and D3DKMT_DestroyDCFromMemory. This version crashes on exit. 3.3 crashes on start. 3.3.1 - 3.3.3 start and run fast. 3.4 untestet 3.4.1 - 3.4.3 start and load slow. Other requirements GDIPlus.dll, DBGHelp.dll, msvcrt.dll 6.1.9848.0, CPU with SSE2 ? - see KernelExWiki.

    Hardware acceleration on Firefox versions 23 and lower leads to massive GUI problems with those black holes on all of my ME and 98SE machines. This can only be fixed by restarting the OS. I don't mean to say that you did it. It is therefore also important to ensure that a profile is not used by a lower browser version and a higher version. I almost only test with portable versions. IMO testing with versions 12 - 23 doesn't make much sense. I couldn't find any other requirements apart from the mentioned in my tests from scratch so far, the question still remains why Firefox does not work on some systems. Hardware, special system patches, specific VM's.... Best it is KernelEX update 24 or 25. Update 16 or 17 will not work or will work very poorly.
