    Hello @roytam1, @VistaLover and @Mathwiz! Did anyone of you already notice that the UI of uBlock Origin's dashboard page is broken in the latest version of New Moon 28 (2022-09-02)? The menu items at the top of the dashboard page are compressed and no longer visible. However, you can still click on them with the mouse. I refer to the last legacy version of uBlock Origin, 1.16.4.30. In a previous version of New Moon 28, everything was fine (I didn't check in which version this issue occurred first). Tested also with a clean profile. Here is a screenshot of this issue: Since no new updates or versions have been released from JustOff for over a year, I'm afraid that not much will happen if reporting this issue on GitHub. To find out the reason for this glitch, I took a screenshot of the error console when the dashboard page of uBlock is loaded: BTW, same issue with Serpent v52.9.0 (2022-09-02) (32-bit). uBlock Origin is in my opinion definitely the most important extension besides palefill we need for our UXP browser. Hope this can be fixed! Cheers, AstroSkipper

    Hello to all fans of roytam1's browsers! Some time ago I was asked if I knew a way to install a button in New Moon 28 that lists and makes available all about pages like the one I presented in my thread "Mypal 68 in Windows XP - Custom Buttons and Extensions" for the browser Mypal 68. Meant was the custom button aboutbutton. Link: I totally forgot that here is a perfect way to do this. The solution is to install the extension Toolbar Buttons 1.1.1. Link: http://caa:addon/toolbar-buttons Of course, to use this link you must have installed the extension Classic Add-ons Archive. Link: https://github.com/JustOff/ca-archive/ The genius of Toolbar Buttons is that with a single extension you get an incredible number of buttons to extend the functionality of our UXP browsers. I use a lot of them. Here is a quotation from the developer's description: Anyway, one of these 100 buttons is called about:about. With this button, you have full access to all about pages in your browser. I use this extension and many of their provided toolbar buttons in all compatible browsers from the very first time. Especially the buttons Clear Data, Clear Cache and Restart. Maybe, a few of the other provided buttons do not work properly anymore, but most of them do. The buttons have to be installed by the toolbar's item "Customize" via drag and drop. Tested in New Moon 28 and Serpent 52. Have fun with this! Cheers, AstroSkipper

    uMatrix uMatrix is a content blocker at its best. Point & click to forbid/allow any class of requests made by your browser. Use it to block scripts, iframes, ads, facebook, etc. Tested version: 1.4.4 Here is the wiki: https://github.com/gorhill/uMatrix/wiki And the following link opens a nice beginner's guide: https://proprivacy.com/privacy-service/guides/lifehacks-setup-umatrix-beginners Download link: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/umatrix/

    Hello @msfntor! Thank you for the linked article about Mia! I have been a cat person since I was 10 years old. I love all cats, and we have one ourselves. Unfortunately only one, her sister died over 2 years ago (due to illness). Anyway, I can absolutely confirm that cats always do what they want, like little Mia! Cats have a mind of their own, and I love that more than anything. Cheers, AstroSkipper

    Hello @Taiga-chan! Glad to hear you got my program package working! Have fun with it! You're welcome! And, many thanks! Greetings from Germany, AstroSkipper

    Simple Translate Quickly translate selected or typed text on web pages. Supports Google Translate and DeepL API. Tested version: 2.8.0 For using the DeepL API you have to register a free account. Unfortunately, the use of this API is a bit limited. The operators want to earn money, of course. Therefore, it is a good idea to use their web service additionally. Here is the link: https://www.deepl.com/translator Anyway, the extension Simple Translate is the best I could find and works like a charme. Download link: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/simple-translate/

    WRP - Web Rendering Proxy But, it won't restore the functionality of a website as, for example, MSFN, which stopped working properly in FF 52.9.0 ESR. So I'm afraid that won't be a desired solution here. Anyway, nice find for historical browsers to view websites if someone wants to!

    Update notification! Both versions of my Root Certificate and Revoked Certificate Updater have been updated and are now of 08/23/2022. You can find them in section Downloads -> Latest Downloads -> Downloads related to Root Certificate Updates in the first post of this thread. Cheers, AstroSkipper

    @Mathwiz! I can't find a sync function in Mypal 68 either, it doesn't seem to have been added yet. You know that @feodor2 is working on important improvements and existing problems, many functions are still missing, e.g. update function for extensions, internationalization and localization and so on. Whether the support for Firefox Sync will be added again, I don't know exactly. But, you can open an issue on GitHub. @feodor2 looks there more regularly than here.

    Hello @roytam1! Thank you so much for the constantly updating of your releases! The most recent version of NM 28 (2022-09-02) is great. BTW, NM 28 is still my main browser.
  14. AstroSkipper
    I totally agree! Speaking only for myself, I do not use any Sync Services, neither Firefox nor Pale Moon Sync. I generally try to store as little data as possible on cloud services. But, one thing is clear. No matter what would be changed in this functionality, someone will always come up short and be dissatisfied.

    @mina7601! In the first linked post, everything is explained sufficiently. And by the way, I never try to say anything, I say it crystal clear or as clear as necessary.

    Unfortunately, that was not the subject. Read here: https://msfn.org/board/topic/183764-“be-mindful-be-grateful-be-positive-be-true-be-kind”/?do=findComment&comment=1225443 And here: https://msfn.org/board/topic/183764-“be-mindful-be-grateful-be-positive-be-true-be-kind”/?do=findComment&comment=1225463 And, last not least: https://msfn.org/board/topic/183764-“be-mindful-be-grateful-be-positive-be-true-be-kind”/?do=findComment&comment=1225487

    No, I am not angry at all. But, as you know, I mean what I write, i.e., I would like to read comments with your personal experiences and ideas. I don't like rephrasing, repeating and comments without own content. To show you what I mean I rewrote your statement. Here is your comment in a more personal way of wording providing own opinions and experiences: It's just an example.

    You're absolutely right! I totally forgot this to say. These browsers here can't help it that this strange @AstroSkipper is making the internet unsafe with such an old computer. Many thanks to all who have contributed to this project!

    Unfortunately, we are non-native English speakers. Therefore, it can only be answered by e.g. @Dave-H. I think basically both is ok. For example:

    Compared to the browsers of @roytam1 or Mypal 68, the 360Chrome browsers are unfortunately very slow and sluggish. In my system, I can only open three pages in the version v11 at the most, and then nothing works anymore. Only endless loading and waiting is the order of the day. And not to mention v13 and v13.5! Sorry, no fun at all! Using only one page in v11 is still bearable and works if it is not programmed too "modern" and too Googlized. I use 360Chrome v11 only for comparison if there are problem with Googlized websites.

    It was just an example to clarify my "either" problem. I used it incorrectly in some cases and forgot about the condition of a preciding negation.

    And, I really need some computer glasses. In the next weeks, I will build a more recent desktop machine, but presumably, without Windows XP. Much more recent hardware means more recent OS. And, you know, I am a Windows XP fan or enthusiast. Do you understand my next problem? And, on this more recent machine with an actually not wanted, but needed, more recent OS, there will be only browsers I can trust, i.e., no Chinese or Russian one. PS: There is one advantage of my old machine to more recent ones. It is easy to identify software that consumes an incredible amount of system resources. For me, this kind of stuff is just bad programming!

    Hello @D.Draker! It's not really a torture to use my old computer. Yes, this machine is slow and low on system resources, but very stable and reliable. A computer that has grown older with me and has never let me down despite unbelievable disasters. It would be difficult for me to send it to retirement. Every screw, modification or repair was done by me personally. I know this machine inside out. Now do you understand what the problem is? And, of course, your machine you descibed above is time-period correct for running Windows XP!

    Thank you @mina7601! But basically, it is not necessary to rephrase my statements, and frankly, I don't like that at all. My statements are meant as they were formulated by me. If you want to comment on them, I would like to read your own opinion and not what I have already said or maybe, didn't want to say, either. Provide your own experiences and thoughts! That would be much more interesting and valuable! IMHO, self-created content that contains personal and unique statements without constantly repeating those of others should be the goal of a poster, actually. The human mind, no matter what age, is capable of creating and formulating its own. Finding the right and individual path in life and also here in this forum always means forming your own opinion, standing by it and expressing it to others. I hope this helps you a bit! Cheers, AstroSkipper

    Unfortunately, I really had a little "either" problem. Your example is absolutely correct. But I forgot an important rule. The word "either" is only used in your example sentence if it is preceded by a negative. In non-negative sentences, the adverbs "too" or "also" are used. The position of this adverb was not the subject of our little grammatical excursus. Here is an example for my grammatical error:
