    Hello @roytam1! Do the latest versions of IceDove and MailNews still support the protocol OAuth2?
  2. AstroSkipper
    Hello @Mathwiz! MailNews is based on Interlink Mail & News from Binary Outcast. I read on their website that they seem to have removed the protocol OAuth2 from their email client. Here is the respective link: https://binaryoutcast.com/projects/interlink/release-notes/ Of course, this does not necessarily mean that MailNews no longer supports this protocol, either. It's just a theory! I don't know what @roytam1 exactly did when he built his latest releases of MailNews. Some weeks ago, I was also looking for an email client and found the program OE Classic which is supposed to support the OAuth2 protocol as well: https://www.oeclassic.com/ This is the one I'll try the next time. Maybe, it is what you are looking for. Kind regards, AstroSkipper

    One could also do just fine without many members saying "how wonderful Windows 7 is because it still gets the ESU updates ", and no one obvioulsy has a licence for them, but they advice to use them for "free" with the help of a patch and even tell where to find it, but seems like everyone is fine with this ! But yeah , these free certificates are the problem, sure ! Your comparison is off-topic and makes no sense. And my statement was not about free, legal or illegal. I stated that this thread has no content anymore what was foreseeable for the OP and therefore, it has become pointless. PS: @D.Draker You can post whatever you want, but if you quote parts of my posts, I'd appreciate it if you didn't take them completely out of context. Thanks!

    Ok. The OP has made this kind of offer before and received a warning for it. Now I really wonder why he did the same thing again. The topic of this thread implies the provision of a download archive whose link was deleted only minutes after creating this thread. Honestly, none of this makes any sense at all. Sorry to say that, but one can really do without such threads.

    Update notification! Both versions of my Root Certificate and Revoked Certificate Updater have been updated and are now of 11/29/2022. You can find them in the section 11.2.4. Downloads related to Root Certificate Updates in the first post of this thread. Cheers, AstroSkipper

    Check your network and firewall settings! Maybe, an intervention of other security programs on your system? Or it might be a temporary server connection failure. Hello @CIACIACIACIACIACIA! Have you been able to solve your server connection problems in the meantime?

    Hello @Cixert! Did my solution work for you?

    And now a note especially for my German compatriots. The online webstore MediaMarkt was no longer fully functional in New Moon and Serpent. A few days ago, I posted the problem in the issues of martok's palefill: https://github.com/martok/palefill/issues/66 As always, martok did a great job and fixed the problem. Furthermore, he still added compatibility with Serpent 55. Now, you can shop again with our UXP browsers, especially in case anyone still needs Christmas presents. The new version 1.25 is already released and can be found here: https://github.com/martok/palefill/releases/tag/v1.25 Further changes and fixes have been made. The complete changelog can also be read there. Cheers, AstroSkipper PS: MediaMarkt is active in different countries, so the fix might help (presumably with minor modifications) non-Germans, too.

    It is rather language than culture related. In German, we very often prefer much longer sentences as it is the case in English. But I always pay attention to correct grammar and consistency of content. Over the last months, I already reduced the average length of my sentences. But no one can quite deny their true nature.

    Thanks @CIACIACIACIACIACIA! Another new version! The frequency of program updates on Legacy Update has risen sharply. A sign of active development! I already updated the link in my post: Cheers, AstroSkipper

    @mina7601! I don't think you are entitled to make such statements, especially in relation to your age. That is solely up to the creator of this thread and the moderators or administrators. Think first, then write is my advice for you! BTW, you don't have to comment on everything. Sometimes, speech is silver, but silence is golden!

    It's a nice touch to thank @heinoganda, but he won't notice as he was last here in July 2020 and seems to have turned his back on the forum since then.

    The favicons show me directly which website belongs to the respective tab. Extremely useful! And, I would never waste my time to load all tabs in my session while starting my browser, so logically, browser.sessionstore.restore_on_demand is set to true. But, that's not enough. For years, I always install the extension "Lull The Tabs" to unload automatically tabs which are currently not in use and to ensure that tabs are only loaded if I click onto them. All that to minimize used system resources. Cheers, AstroSkipper PS: As far as I can see, your English seems to be quite good and not as bad as you claimed in my thread.

    I am a member of MSFN since 2010. The "reputation" system and the "leaderboard" used to have more of a purpose, but are now meaningless or moreover worthless. It has been and is still being reduced to absurdity and shot into insignificance through meaningless voting or the new game I call "rep scoring", among other things. There is a troop of members here who have finally dealt a death blow to this voting system. In any case, I would suggest that the word "reputation" should be replaced by "number of votes". So that new members here don't think that certain people have an insane amount of knowledge, even though that's not the case. Anyway! I would be lying if I said I was no longer interested in voting in general. I am still interested in voting for real, meaningful, technical contents. Unfortunately, every nonsense is voted for in this forum as well as in this thread, but real content that has been painstakingly created often hardly gets any attention. There is an excellent saying in the German language that perfectly describes the number of daily posts of some members: "Quantität ist nicht gleich Qualität!". Translated: "Quantity is not equal to quality!" or "Quantity does not mean quality!". And as for MSFN, it seems no longer to be a technical forum but by definition a communication platform according to the administrators, as I unfortunately had to learn some months ago. A communication platform! Like the social media platforms! That is very regrettable. Cheers, AstroSkipper

    Yes, that's correct. And v1.4 includes a great new feature: "Adds an optional feature to enable receiving Windows Embedded POSReady 2009 updates on Windows XP SP3." Thanks @CIACIACIACIACIACIA and @mina7601! Although I only updated the download link a few days ago, there is already a new version 1.4 with an interesting new feature. Ok! I will therefore update the link directly in my post.

    @legacyfan! And one more for you: wsusoffline updates for eol windows: https://archive.org/details/wsusoffline-eol-windows Greetings from Germany, AstroSkipper

    Hello @legacyfan!Truth be told, it's easy to find Windows XP Professional SP3 32 Bit Update Packs for German Editions. But for English versions, there are a few sources, too. Here are some of them I found after a short research: Onepiece XP Post-SP3 AIO Update Pack FINAL: https://ryanvm.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6438 Windows XP Updates (WSUS Offline): https://archive.org/details/wsusoffline-wxp-enu_final Kind regards, AstroSkipper

    The program LegacyUpdate 1.2.1 has been updated and is now available in version 1.3. I'll update my original post, too. Cheers, AstroSkipper

    Update notification! The Root Certificates have been updated and are now from 29-11-2022. Here is a screenshot: Therefore, my self-created, offline Root Certificate Updaters in the section 11.2.4. Downloads related to Root Certificate Updates (in the first post of this thread) will also be updated as soon as possible. Cheers, AstroSkipper

    Hello @xrayer! First of all, you should not forget that Mypal 68 is still in development, and the version 68.12.5b is in beta stage. Therefore, I would expect a lot of BSODs although I never had one. Did you post your problem in the issues of Mypal 68 on Github? Issues of Mypal 68 That's actually a better place to get help. There were already opened different issues about BSODs, and as far as I know, @feodor2 is generally interested in the data of them. Here is a quotation of @feodor2's instructions if a blue screen occurs: Kind regards, AstroSkipper

    Why do you post a link to my thread about extensions and custom buttons for UXP browsers? @verta looks for a thread about installing extensions manually in Chrome browsers due to the topic of this thread. And he already got two correct answers above. The following equation with the Boolean truth value true applies: UXP browser ≠ Chrome browser

    I have an old Pentium 4 with only 1.5 GB RAM, and I play all videos in VLC with the help of the extension VLC Youtube Shortcut 0.8.3.2 to avoid the mainly cumbersome YouTube site for many well-known reasons. To search for YouTube videos, I use the website Invidious which is an open source alternative front-end to YouTube and can be used multilingually. This is my favourite for old, low-powered computers. Truth be told, this topic has already been discussed very often in this forum, though.

    Thanks for your appreciation! But unfortunately, others and me can't see it in my posts above ... If you don't understand what I wrote about the valuation of technical contents (which is a kind of support of authors), why don't you use an online translation service? For example, DeepL? The English I wrote was crystal clear. Anyway! The fact that I even have to mention this grievance in terms of valuation should actually not really be necessary ... By the way, a restart feature is trivial and easy to implement into my toggle button. I already did it, and the modified toggle button works perfectly.

    Ok! Very good! My statement was: Your answer is: What do you think? What can you do here to support an author of a thread with technical contents, to show him your genuine interest, to appreciate his work he has already done, and to ensure that he is motivated to continue all this and make him generating new, requested code for someone with whom he has never had contact, especially if he shares his work for free? Truth be told, this kind of support I mean has unfortunately diminished a lot or has always been sparse for real work with technical content and is, however, made in droves for every inanity or, rather, for every crap, especially non-technical one, in this forum nowadays. And what I mean, of course, should only be done if the technical contents of this author are also worth it. Any ideas?
