    Hope you can fix this bug. If it was fixed, my self-created custom button would work as I planned without any special workaround to be implemented. I use the VORAPIS V3 script version. Works great here in Mypal 68.

    @feodor2 Thanks for the links! The history feature of GitHub is great. Thanks to @UCyborg's hint to use this time machine, I started downloading repositories from the Firefox 68 era. With the linked version of xiaxiaofloods's userChromeJS, you can indeed install bootstrapped, legacy extensions in Mypal 68, but unfortunately, none of xiaxiaofloods's extensions I've tested from the linked repository do actually work.

    Personally, I would tend to agree to this: Mypal 68 ≈ Firefox (≥ 68). In many ways, Mypal 68 behaves like a normal Firefox browser, but not in all. The JavaScript engine, for example, is comparable to that of higher versions. Mypal 68 is a Quantum browser, which has made it quite difficult to enable the use of UC.JS scripts, for example. The download package MYPAL_68_CB_requirements.7z from my first post is not available anywhere. It is very specific, and stops working in Firefox 72+ due to some code changes. I put together the configuration files myself to make it really work. In higher Firefox versions, the script functionality seems to be much easier to activate. BTW, one file of my package spits out an error in the Browser Console, which I fixed in the meanwhile.

    I never did that before. How do you go back to an earlier point in a project?

    FYI, I have tested this, and it doesn't work for me in Mypal 68. Neither the implementation for loading of scripts nor the one for loading of specially adapted bootstrapped extensions from xiaoxiaoflood's project userChromeJS works in Mypal 68.14.4b. The whole project seems to be related to more recent versions of Firefox. Here is a quotation from the GitHub page: The specially adapted bootstrapped extension Download Manager (S3), for example, targets Firefox 125.0a1 and higher.

    @feodor2 I noticed this issue when creating a custom button for calling up the cookie manager. For reproducing this issue, call up chrome://browser/content/preferences/siteDataSettings.xul, delete a site cookie of your choice, close it, open the site whose cookie you deleted and call up chrome://browser/content/preferences/siteDataSettings.xul again. You will then notice its cookie is not listed although it is there. And when now restarting the browser, the call up of this internal chrome site leads to an empty, broken and non-functional interface. Here is a screenshot of this issue including the TypeError message Uncaught TypeError: this._getQuotaUsagePromise is null SiteDataManager.jsm:255:5 getSites resource:///modules/SiteDataManager.jsm:255 init chrome://browser/content/preferences/siteDataSettings.js:127 onload chrome://browser/content/preferences/siteDataSettings.xul:1 in the Browser Console: Only by calling up the about:preferences page will it work again. BTW, when doing so in an UXP browser as, for example, New Moon 28 or Serpent 52 by calling up chrome://browser/content/preferences/cookies.xul, there is no such problem.
  7. AstroSkipper
    @feodor2 When calling up the internal site chrome://browser/content/preferences/siteDataSettings.xul in Mypal 68.14.4b directly, the list of all cookies is not up to date in most cases. Only when you call up the about:preferences page beforehand, you get a current list of all cookies. Actually that can't be the intention. Right? So, is this a bug or really by design? When calling up the internal site chrome://browser/content/preferences/siteDataSettings.xul directly after browser restart, it is empty, broken and non-functional.

    This is not quite so easy. One thing in advance. The chrome folder and the UC.JS scripts have absolutely nothing to do with the legacy custom buttons. You have to install a legacy Custom Buttons extension in the Quantum browser Mypal 68 which supports natively webextensions only. To do this, the signature check of extensions must be switched off by a special hack, as most of all legacy Custom Buttons extensions are unsigned. The hack then has to be patched again , and a few prefs have to be set. Finally, you have to check whether your legacy Custom Buttons version can be installed at all and properly works under these conditions. All in all, not so easy as it may seem. Right? Furthermore, the code of custom buttons must of course be designed for Mypal 68 in such a way that it takes the newer JavaScript engine into account. Many (legacy) custom buttons that run in the UXP browsers therefore do not work in Mypal 68. And as you already know, even a custom button working in New Moon 28 does not necessarily run, for example, in Serpent 52. However, if all is done correctly, it should look like this way: This is a screenshot taken from the Add-ons Manager in Mypal 68.14.4b. All of these custom buttons are working fine in Mypal 68, and there are more, of course. It's just a test profile. BTW, three of these six custom buttons have been created by me and are also working in all my UXP browsers.

    A RAM consumption of round about 700 MB for only one YouTube video?
  10. AstroSkipper
    How do you expect us to help you if you cannot even tell us the EXACT version we are to compare with ??? The answer is very simple. You don't have to help those types. It's more of a waste of time. And I also don't believe that old browser versions from 2022 work better with YouTube today than the current ones. YouTube has permanently changed for the worse. Even an old cucumber doesn't really help.

    The old Custom Buttons forum had gone long time ago. Personally, I have the most important things in my archive, which I have been maintaining for decades. So, I need practically nothing from the old forum although it is a great pity that it no longer exists. And you should also be aware that many old custom buttons are no longer compatible with newer Firefox or Firefox-based browser versions. And by that I also mean Firefox 52, which is the origin of many forks.

    <sarcasm font>Is this your swan song?</sarcasm font> I love the creativity of some people here. BTW, your investigations of the VORAPIS V3 interface are strange. On my old and very weak Windows XP computer, the original YouTube interface is a real disaster. It takes ages to load and only with tons of scripts, filters and extensions, it can be accessed but when scrolling the page a bit, the loading of unwanted crap starts again with a 100% CPU usage. In contrast, the VORAPIS V3 interface is loaded in less than a minute, and the usage of CPU and RAM is much, much less as it is with the original interface, even when scrolling the page a bit. So, no swan song but stating facts.

    Restart & Purge v2.0 - A custom button for restarting the browser and, if necessary, purging the startup cache, created by AstroSkipper Due to some abnormalities I observed when using my Restart & Purge custom button, I have now updated it to the version 2.0. I have changed and reworked the code considerably, and after a lot of testing, this updated custom button now works perfectly. One of the changes is that this new version of Restart & Purge now calls up the native restart code from the browser inside. The old version wasn't bad though, but the new one is definitely better and more compatible. I think there should no longer be any problems that could have occurred in very rare cases. Restart buttons are available in abundance and are nothing special. However, the most interesting feature of this custom button is the ability to purge the startup cache and restart the browser with one click. There are no corresponding extensions or functions with which the startup cache can be quickly deleted in the UXP browsers. In New Moon 28 not even the command line option -purgecaches works. So, an alternative way to delete the startup cache would therefore only be manually via the Windows Explorer or a file manager. My Restart & Purge v2.0 custom button performes a normal restart when left-clicked and additionally purges the startup cache when middle-clicked. Here is a small screenshot of my custom button Restart & Purge v2.0 and its tooltip taken from New Moon 28: As the code of Restart & Purge v2.0 has to be initialised, you won't find it in the tab "Code" but in the tab "Initialization code" of this custom button. Here is a screenshot of its code: And here is the download link: https://www.mediafire.com/file/1myts3tqkr6lgrv/Restart_%26_Purge_v2.0_10-12-24.xml/file The download link contains an XML backup file of the Restart & Purge v2.0 custom button as the problem with the conversion of custom buttons into XML format has been finally solved by me. Simply open the XML file in the browser and click onto the install button! For the installation of this button, the extension Custom Buttons is required which you can get from this post: https://msfn.org/board/topic/183923-extensions-and-custom-buttons-for-uxp-browsers-corrections-modifications-adjustments-and-special-recommendations/?do=findComment&comment=1226328 My custom button Restart & Purge v2.0 can be used with New Moon, Serpent, Firefox,even with the non-UXP browser Mypal 68 and some other browsers. And most probably also with Pale Moon and Basilisk (the call up of the native restart code should be the same as in the other browsers) which I can't test, though.

    I avoid the original YouTube interface as it has become useless for me the last years. I use instead the VORAPIS V3 script which is really great. I therefore no longer notice whether the original interface has become even worse.

    BTW, it wasn't meant offensive. It was just an observation I made when reading your comments. I'm someone who likes to say what I think, sometimes very directly. And as for Rammstein, I'm sorry to say that I've never been a fan.

    There's a well-known American moron whose saying I'll use here in a modified form anyway: Make old code great again!
  17. AstroSkipper
    Yesterday, I found this old button code in my archive. As the code of the button looked promising, I translated it and modified it completely. I changed the tooltip, totally reworked the menu of the important about: pages and added a help menu. I created a version for New Moon/Pale Moon and a version for Serpent/Basilisk/Firefox as some about: pages are different in these browsers. This button has a special feature. When selecting a string or copying a string to the clipboard, a middle-click onto the toolvar button opens it in the about:config page. All in all, it's a kind of recycling of old code so that it works again in our browsers. Thus, old code is not always useless and lost. And the code of this button is so universal that it seems to run in all Firefox-based browsers. Anyway! I will also post this forked custom button here very soon.
  18. AstroSkipper
    @dmiranda What do you think about this custom button?
  19. AstroSkipper
    Thanks for replying! I will post the new version 2.0 of Restart & Purge soon. I have reworked the code considerably, and after a lot of testing, this custom button now works perfectly. The old version wasn't bad, but the new one is definitely better and more compatible. I think there should no longer be any problems that could have occurred in very rare cases. BTW, there are a lot of alternatives for the About-Menu custom button in Serpent 52.

    The Custom Buttons version I use has been modified by me. The original version was actually multilingual, but the locales were not complete and therefore faulty. Many entities were missing, and I didn't feel like correcting and translating all that. Too much work. I prefer the English language in this area anyways. That's why I turned the multilingual version into a purely English one. I don't have the original link anymore, but maybe I'll write about this version here soon and upload my mod. I already posted a screenshot of this version:

    Personally, I use a much more recent Custom Buttons extension with a lot of additional features created by a well-known and very talented developer of custom buttons and extensions who was also very active in the old Custom Buttons forum that time. This Custom Buttons extension is of course particularly interesting for developers of custom buttons.
  22. AstroSkipper
    I have unfortunately noticed that strangely enough, the interest in custom buttons does not seem to be particularly high here. Therefore my question to all users of UXP browsers is how you feel about the custom buttons and whether you use them at all. TBH, if there is no real interest though, I do not need to post more custom buttons here, either. Especially the ones I created or modified myself. Personally, I am a fan of the legacy custom buttons and try to use them as much as possible. They use much less resources and cause much less conflict than extensions. Therefore, in my browsers, additional functions are first provided by custom buttons and only then the still missing ones by extensions.

    I assume all your random crashes are related to the already reported gkmedias.dll issue. Right? If so, you can replace this file with the previous one without having to completely revert to the previous version of New Moon 28. I mention this as I have been testing the new release the last hours. After replacing the gkmedias.dll file, this new release of New Moon 28 seems to be working fine so far.
  24. AstroSkipper
    Confirmed. The gkmedias.dll file (8.496.128 Bytes) is faulty. I replaced it by the previous gkmedias.dll file (8.623.104 Bytes), and the error is history. I can confirm the same problem in the most recent release of New Moon 28 (2024-10-11). I replaced gkmedias.dll file (9.862.144 Bytes) by the previous one (9.989.632 Bytes), and the error is history.
