Thank you, @mina7601! They must have updated the link in the last minutes. I will correct that immediately.

Legacy Update - An alternative to Microsoft or Windows Update Legacy Update is a community-run resource to help you fix the Windows Update service on earlier versions of Windows. More information and instructions can be found on the homepage of Legacy Update. Here is the link: https://legacyupdate.net/ And this is the download link of the program which is needed to be installed: https://content.legacyupdate.net/legacyupdate/LegacyUpdate-1.10.exe Changelogs & older versions on GitHub: https://github.com/kirb/LegacyUpdate/releases Very important is the hint for Windows XP users on their homepage: Some screenshots of this service: I didn't try this service, no need for me at the moment, but as far as I read in different comments, it works properly with Windows XP and other OSs. Thanks to @maile3241 for the hint! Cheers, AstroSkipper

I didn't say you have to use uMatrix but uBlock can't replace uMatrix. They are different. uMatrix can block and control things uBlock can't unless you use its Advanced User Mode which is not recommended for normal users, though. Anyway, that's the reason I use them both together. So, don't mix it up! BTW, it was just a well-meant hint!

AdBlockPlus and uBlock in combination is not really a good idea. Hopefully, you mean using or having used them separately.

uMatrix does a lot of things uBlock doesn't. The combination of both is what I always use, and it's simply great. That's a way to get (almost) complete control while surfing the World Wide Web. Using uMatrix is not as complicated as it seems. No headaches here! If you really want to get in trouble including headaches, then you should try the Advanced User Mode of uBlock. This mode is really for advanced users or experts. The developer Gorhill specifically warns the user if one wants to activate this mode. Without having read the documentation at first, no good idea!

Unexpected news! The unbelievable has come true. I would never have thought that this was possible. I have always been annoyed that my self-written custom buttons for the old, legacy UXP browsers like Firefox 52, Pale Moon, New Moon, Serpent, and so on can no longer be used in Mypal 68. The reason for this is that the extension Custom Buttons is a legacy extension and only compatible with the already mentioned UXP browsers, actually. I emphasize actually! For months, I've been searching on and off for a solution to still be able to use these custom buttons in Mypal 68. And what can I say? My persistence seems to have been rewarded now. As it looks at the moment, I managed to install a modified version of the extension Custom Buttons in Mypal 68. Some additional changes in Mypal 68 were also still necessary for this, of course. Furthermore, I have been able to successfully install my custom button "Toggle CSF" via this modified extension in Mypal 68. As far as I can see, both, the extension Custom Buttons and my custom button "Toggle CSF" which I already posted for the UXP browsers here https://msfn.org/board/topic/183923-extensions-and-custom-buttons-for-uxp-browsers-corrections-modifications-adjustments-and-special-recommendations/?do=findComment&comment=1229561, work fine and are fully functional in Mypal 68. If you don't immediately understand what's so special about all this, just try installing the extension Custom Buttons in Mypal 68 yourself, and you will see! Here is a screenshot of my installations as proof: More on this topic soon. Will have to investigate and test it all in more detail first! Of course, it takes a little time, and unfortunately I still have to take it easy to finally get rid of this damn cough. So, stay tuned if interested! Cheers, AstroSkipper

No problem! I thought they wanted to have your complete smartphone.

Ok, you meant your phone number. That was not clear, unfortunately.

It is quite enough to know that Telegram is very popular and much used in Russia.

What do you mean exactly by "they wanted my smartphone"? How is that supposed to work? Very strange.

I am old school in some or maybe quite a few things. I only use social media when it's necessary. After switching on my smartphone, I'm actually already annoyed when WhatsApp reports: "You have 248 new messages". You don't really want to read 99% of them.

Toggle media.autoplay.enabled - A custom button for toggling the Boolean variable media.autoplay.enabled created by AstroSkipper The custom button Toggle media.autoplay.enabled is the same button as Toggle CSP except the changes I already described in my previous post. It's an example how easy another Boolean variable can be toggled by this button. And, I created this version at the very special request of @Mathwiz. I also changed the button images, of course. A green image always means the value true, a red image the value false. Of course, this can be changed and adapted to the user's needs at any time. Here is the download link: https://www.mediafire.com/file/lvsq0ss3xuinxwe/Toggle_media.autoplay.enabled.xml/file Greetings from Germany, AstroSkipper

I followed your links and downloaded the Custom Buttons extension. Its install.rdf file tops out at Firefox 48, so to install it in either Serpent version, you need to modify that, since Serpent uses the Firefox app ID. I changed it to 55.* and it installed OK in St 55. I'm presuming the same change will let it install in St 52 as well; I'll test that later if I get some time. The only odd thing I found was that I had to restart Serpent 55 twice before it was ready to go. Next, I went to that link, but this is all I saw: So yes, it appears you've created the necessary custom button, but there's no code, no link, nothing to test in Custom Buttons at that post. Anyway, it's no big deal. I was only "asking for a friend," but can't remember who, because the original question was from My Browser Builds part 3, and now that that thread has been closed, the board doesn't let you quote from it as easily (no "Quote" prompt shows up when selecting text) so I just copied it and pasted into a quote block. Hello, @Mathwiz! I have posted my custom button "Toggle CSP" at last. Here is the link to my post: Furthermore and especially for you, I have made a second custom button "Toggle media.autoplay.enabled" including a change of the button images. Here is the link to this post: Kind regards, AstroSkipper PS: Additionally, I was able to install the legacy extension Custom Buttons and my custom button Toggle CSP in Mypal 68, too. Both are fully functional and working fine in Mypal 68. At the moment, I am in the process of testing that more closely. Here is the dedicated post:

Toggle CSP - A custom button for toggling the Boolean variable security.csp.enable from true to false and vice versa in about:config created by AstroSkipper Toggle CSP is a custom button for toggling the Boolean variable security.csp.enable from true to false and vice versa in about:config. The status of this variable is shown by the button itself in the form of an image that changes its colour, i.e. its image accordingly. Actually, I created this button for the specific boolean variable security.csp.enable, but the code of this button is universal and can be easily modified to toggle other Boolean variables, too if you change its code slightly. The user has only to change the name of this button, the string of the Boolean variable and optional, but useful, its images. Very simple changes. It works perfectly in all UXP browsers such as New Moon 28, Serpent 52 and even in Serpent 55. Here are some screenshots: The variable security.csp.enable is set to true by Toggle CSP: The variable security.csp.enable is set to false by Toggle CSP: The functionality of Toggle CSP can be checked excellently and observed live, so to speak, by opening the variable security.csp.enable in about:config and clicking on the custom button. And here is the JavaScript code of my button: /*Initialization Code*/ var prefName = "security.csp.enable"; var enabledImage = "data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAABQAAAAUCAYAAACNiR0NAAAAAXNSR0IArs4c6QAAAARnQU1BAACxjwv8YQUAAAAgY0hSTQAAeiYAAICEAAD6AAAAgOgAAHUwAADqYAAAOpgAABdwnLpRPAAAAO1JREFUOE9jZPgPhFQFIAOpCalqGNi31HQdfQz8R6Gb4drVwLGNwGlQGWQxWAC5Iqnjg7LnwtSD/G0GFYSFpzSQzwTEfWjiIANhPgCx7aGG6COpg6bD/wxuWLzagWYgcgSCDDSG6pmHzcBuHGEH83IEmjxI3A4qpoDNQJBrcMFcpDCDqYFZFACV248chiBJayzGgcLrA5I4SF0tTCOQNsCiByxkBLXlJVTBOSCdA8RiaGEIMnADkoGmuAwEGSqO5C2QxlYgPg8VY4bSoCQCgqFIasPQDMViB2ZI/iFKFUQfCUqJy/WjBhIXTnhUAQCxF7FzNVSQlgAAAABJRU5ErkJggg=="; var disabledImage = "data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAABQAAAAUCAYAAACNiR0NAAAAAXNSR0IArs4c6QAAAARnQU1BAACxjwv8YQUAAAAgY0hSTQAAeiYAAICEAAD6AAAAgOgAAHUwAADqYAAAOpgAABdwnLpRPAAAAOlJREFUOE9j/M/AAERUBCADqYlBzhvpBv6jMAjgYagGiW04ToMajCwGYoPC3BVJHR+UPRemHqTADCoIiyBpIJ8JiPvQxEEGwnwAYttDDdFHUgd2IUjSDYtXO9AMRE4RID3GUD3zsBnYjSPsYF6OQJMHidtBxRSwGQhyDa40mYsUZjA1MIsCoHL7kcMQJGmNxUBQeH1AEgepq4VpBNIGWPSAw9AIastLqIJzQDoHiMXQwhBk4AYkA01xGQgyVBzJWyCNrUB8HirGDKVBSQSkNhRJbRiaoUTl5T94whc93IkykJQCZNRAygtbAOb2sXODGkDmAAAAAElFTkSuQmCC"; this.onclick = function (aE) { if (aE.button === 0) { Services.prefs.setBoolPref(prefName, !Services.prefs.getBoolPref(prefName)); setSelfImage(); } }; function setSelfImage() { if (Services.prefs.getBoolPref(prefName)) self.image = enabledImage; else self.image = disabledImage; } setSelfImage(); For using my custom button with other Boolean variables, you have to change the strings of var prefName, var enabledImage and var disabledImage. Furthermore, the name and image of your new custom button in its editor above the /*Initialization Code*/ should be changed, too. Here is a further screenshot of the button's editor. I have outlined all the areas to be changed with red rectangles: I uploaded the Toggle CSP custom button as an XML file for an offline installation. Here is the download link: https://www.mediafire.com/file/fjgxbc09q4r31s4/Toggle_CSP.xml/file For the installation of this button, the extension Custom Buttons is required which you can get from this post: Cheers, AstroSkipper

Hello @roytam1! That doesn't sound good, but luckily, nothing worse happened. I wish you a successful and complete recovery. For now, take care of your fingers so as not to jeopardise the healing process. Of course, one could also say: Best wishes for a speedy recovery from Germany, AstroSkipper

Same here! There are posts one can't react by liking or upvoting due to its content. That would otherwise be completely misleading. As if one would take pleasure in the suffering of others or even agree with it.

All this has more to do with wear and tear and physical as well as mental overstrain. But I don't see any connection with stupidity. Apart from the kind of "stupidity" of negligently or wilfully injuring oneself physically or mentally if so.

I am not a medical doctor or psychologist and can say little about such symptoms. Any form of trauma naturally has an effect on the brain. In my consideration of stupidity, I have excluded physical or mental suffering as well as illness and refer to the stupidity of a healthy person. Perhaps I should have mentioned this as a prerequisite! Very negligent of me! Anyway, your symptoms have nothing to do with stupidity. PS: I will correct that in my previous posts.

Yep! That's the last official version from AMO or Classic Add-ons Archive. I already posted that in my thread: Additionally, I have further modified, fixed and more recent versions, too. The version in my quoted post is Custom Buttons 0.0.5.8.9.6-fixed8. And I can confirm it works in all UXP browsers such as for example New Moon or Serpent.

As I tried to differentiate above, stupidity of a healthy person is the result of mainly three different components: Intelligence, knowledge (education) and experience. The intelligence component consists of a genetic and a non-genetic sub-component. A person's intelligence cannot be explained by genetics alone. It has to develop in their ontogenesis. Depending on the genetic predispositions, however, it can develop better or worse. But, apart from all chemical and physical influences such as nutrition and many other environmental parameters, the learning process of a person is the key to get the maximum of this development which only ends by death. And this varies greatly from one individual to another. Therefore, an infinite number of types of stupidity exist.

Ok! In any case, you both are adults and when the cards have been laid openly on the table, everyone is responsible for their own decisions or actions. Therefore, I believe, time will tell.

I have different versions of the extension Custom Buttons. Some days ago, I tested it in Serpent 55 and I could install the original version without any problems. Furthermore, my custom button "Toggle CSP" for switching a specific Boolean variable worked in Serpent 55, too. Nevertheless, thanks for the tip! I will also make my offered version of Custom Buttons compatible with Serpent 55. And, as I already said, I will post it in my thread "Extensions and custom buttons for UXP browsers - Corrections, modifications, adjustments, and special recommendations" soon. I've been a bit handicapped for weeks with the after-effects of a Covid infection, unfortunately. So I haven't posted anything more about my custom button yet. I'm just tired and limp at the moment. But, I will post it as soon as possible. Cheers, AstroSkipper

If you were selfless, you would break up with her so she wouldn't waste an important part of her life time in terms of family planning on someone who wasn't really serious about her. After the age of 40 or bit more, family planning no longer really plays a role. But who is really selfless?

What exactly do you mean with "another stupid one"? Stupid in the meaning of less educated and intelligent? Or stupid enough to be with you although she knows that there won't be any future for this relationship? Stupidity has many facets and is not always easy to understand or decipher. BTW, we all are getting old. Unfortunately, no one of us is a "Highlander", presumably.

Choosing a sexual partner 30 years older does not necessarily mean that a girl wants to have a relationship. And if she does, you're nothing but "Big Daddy" again protecting a little girl and spending money for it (for her protection). For that, you have to be "rich". And here we are again, a pronounced father complex.
