For my personal use, I have additionally modified the Nuchi-Sporif script loading method to load all UC.JS script files from a chrome subfolder called "Scripts". This gives the user a better structured chrome folder. If someone is interested how that can be done, just ask here. This modification has not been implemented in my new download package Mypal 68 CB requirements - Updated 12.01.2025.7z to avoid confusion.

ProxHTTPSProxy and HTTPSProxy in Windows XP for future use
AstroSkipper replied to AstroSkipper's topic in Windows XP
These two files, for example, both created by @cmalex, are incorrectly classified as malicious by MediaFire's virus scanner although they are virus-free: https://www.mediafire.com/file/pdy1cd8insmdq7g/ProxyMII_220717.7z/file https://www.mediafire.com/file/yb0xjos28l110xx/ProxyMII_230813.7z/file- 923 replies

Script loader package for Mypal 68 - Update notification My download package MYPAL_68_CB_requirements.7z has been updated. I edited different files to tidy up the package and remove unnecessary code. Here is a short changelog: In the config-prefs.js file, comments added and the pref general.config.sandbox_enabled deactivated. In the config.js file, unnecessary code removed. In the userChrome.css file, information added how to import CSS stylesheets. In the userChrome.js file, the error "ReferenceError: XPCOMUtils is not defined" fixed in two different ways: either unnecessary code completely removed, or the corrected file userChrome.js.FixedJustForFunByAstroSkipper can be used (the extension .FixedJustForFunByAstroSkipper has then to be removed, of course ). Instructions in the Instructions - Please read me first!.txt file updated. The download link of my package Mypal 68 CB requirements - Updated 12.01.2025.7z can be found as always in the first post of this thread. Greetings from Germany, AstroSkipper

ProxHTTPSProxy and HTTPSProxy in Windows XP for future use
AstroSkipper replied to AstroSkipper's topic in Windows XP
I was able to finally get it after creating a mediafire account and through URL manipulation. Hello! You are the very first reporting problems with the download of files I hosted on MediaFire. In any case, all my files are clean and free of malware. If MediaFire really reports something like this, it is very wrong. I have now checked my MediaFire account, and indeed, some of my files uploaded years ago are suddenly and wrongly flagged as malicious. MediaFire seems to use a new virus scanner, and it must be very bad. Therefore, all flagged files will be replaced by me with archives protected by a password to free MediaFire from such false positives. The password will be provided in the section 11. Downloads of my main article in the first post of this thread. Four archives are incorrectly classified as malicious by MediaFire's virus scanner. Of course, all my uploaded files are virus-free. I have now re-uploaded these files with password protection so that MediaFire doesn't continue to make such nonsense. As always, the download links with the corresponding password will be provided in the section 11. Downloads of my main article in the first post of this thread. Cheers, AstroSkipper- 923 replies

The last few weeks, or rather the last few months, I have expanded my JavaScript and CSS knowledge considerably. I started to develop not only new custom buttons for the legacy extension Custom Buttons and custom CSS stylesheets, both targeting Mypal 68, but also UC.JS scripts for Mypal 68 and compatible browsers. Additionally, I have tested and analysed all available methods for loading UC.JS scripts. I also put my favoured method, which I presented in the first post of this thread, to the test. The loading method in my download package MYPAL_68_CB_requirements.7z is based on the loading method of Nuchi and Sporif. At the time, I assumed that additional code inside the config.js file was needed to load UC.JS scripts. This code comes from the alice0775 project and, however, it is not needed at all for the loading method I have provided, as I have realised in the last few days. It is only needed if there is no binding via the userchrome.xml file. Fortunately, it didn't do any harm either, but I have nevertheless tidied up my package and got rid of unnecessary ballast. I will now create and upload a new download package which will also contain my fix for the error "ReferenceError: XPCOMUtils is not defined" in two different ways. What I can already say at this point is that my favourite Nuchi-Sporif method is one of the best of all regarding Mypal 68. More on this soon. Greetings from Germany, AstroSkipper

If you are prepared to pay for an antimalware programme, I would have bought a RogueKiller licence. Glarysoft's Malware Hunter doesn't have many features, and I would rank it far behind RogueKiller. But to each their own.

My Browser Builds (Part 5)
AstroSkipper replied to roytam1's topic in Browsers working on Older NT-Family OSes
Don't you always do browser builds every week every time there's a change to the source code? I'm only just ordering cause you always build every week I can hardly believe what I'm reading here. A user of browser versions for which no money is charged and which have been developed on a purely voluntary basis for years (and this is of course very time-consuming!) has zero rights to order anything. I regard such comments as impertinent and disrespectful. What you can do with it is actually just this: And to give such claims a real reference again, new versions will come when they come. Be happy if something comes at all! AstroSkipper -
Yep, same here. It does not work in Mypal 68. You can test in Firefox 68 Portable and up if it is working at all. As I already wrote in my thread, not all extensions offered as compatible can be installed in Mypal 68.

In any case, all my files are clean and free of malware. If MediaFire really reports something like this, it is very wrong. These are the system requirements for ProxHTTPSProxy's PopMenu TLS 1.3 3V3. So, it actually should run on your Athlon XP computer. Especially, since @cmalex made it compatible with SSE only processors. And again, you are the very first reporting compatibility problems with ProxHTTPSProxy's PopMenu TLS 1.3 3V3 running on Windows XP SP3 machines with an Intel SSE2 processor. My main Windows XP computer is equipped with an Intel Pentium 4 SSE2 processor, and ProxHTTPSProxy's PopMenu TLS 1.3 3V3 works there like a charm . BTW, it was developed and tested on this computer. So, I fear you did something wrong, or all your machines are missing something.- 923 replies

@feodor2 I don't know if you have read my post quoted above. The logger in the most recent version of uBO 1.61.2 has now completely stopped working in Mypal 68.14.4b and 68.14.5b. Neither when running single-process mode or multi-process mode. I therefore reverted to the last officially compatible version 1.46, as uBO is unfortunately useless without a functioning logger.

My Browser Builds (Part 5)
AstroSkipper replied to roytam1's topic in Browsers working on Older NT-Family OSes
I can't say what's going wrong in your system as I never have used Windows 2008. And I don't know whether New Moon 28 targets this OS at all. Under Windows XP, the "Make New Moon the default browser" button has always worked like a charm. And if this feature didn't work in other browsers, I either edited the respective registry entries manually or I used the tool Default Browser 1.8. Unfortunately, this tool is for Windows XP only but maybe, there is also a tool which does this job under your OS. Here are important registry locations which were set by me for using New Moon 28 as default browser under Windows XP: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications\palemoon.exe HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\http HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\https HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ftp HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\PaleMoonHTML HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\PaleMoonURL HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Applications\palemoon.exe HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\http HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\https HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\ftp HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\PaleMoonHTML HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\PaleMoonURL HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\StartMenuInternet\Pale Moon web browser HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\StartMenuInternet\PALEMOON.EXE Under the registry path HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\StartMenuInternet all registered standard web browsers are listed. So if you want to be offered a standard browser, you have to enter the corresponding one there. BTW, New Moon's native function for setting it as default browser is SetDefaultBrowser(). When checking its source code, you will exactly know what actions the "Make New Moon the default browser" button performs. -
@feodor2 Unfortunately, I have to report that the website amazon.de is no longer working in Mypal 68 as before. I tested it in both versions 68.14.4b and 68.14.5b. Here is one link as an example: https://www.amazon.de/Original-Blumax-DMW-BCG10E-Panasonic-DMC-TZ31/dp/B00I04P3ZU?nsdOptOutParam=true&sr=8-3 When I try to open this page, the loading process is a torture compared to how it was months ago. It always stays at 100% CPU utilisation regardless of whether the website has been fully loaded (or appears to be fully loaded) or not. Although my hardware is weak (single core CPU Pentium 4 Northwood 2.8 GHz), amazon.de has worked tolerably well in Mypal 68 in the past. BTW, in New Moon 28, this site is loading much faster and comes to an end without 100% CPU utilisation. As far as I noticed, the issue is related to the loading of images and media. Even the additional use of uBlock Origin couldn't help, unless you neuter the site to the point of informationlessness. P.S.: With the help of additional user scripts and own filters for uBO, I was able to tame a bit the amazon.de website. Now, the loading process finally ends at some point. But all loaded images and media definitely lead to extremely higher processor utilisation than before. The entire loading process still takes some minutes.

Edited 2 hours ago by seven4ever But @feodor2 didn't say that. It is just your request. Your post is a bit misleading due to your wrong quotation. Anyway! You can vote for a new SSE version here: https://github.com/Feodor2/Mypal68/issues/164

Thanks for your opinion! Then, I will update the download links as soon as possible.

As @feodor2 already tested this extension in Mypal 68, I think it costs only seconds to test it in a more recent Firefox version. I assume that a developer also has access to more modern Windows versions. But if you want to test this extension, do it and report here your results. I'm not going to do that because I don't care about modern browsers. I definitely don't develop anything for these browsers.
-
Last time, you stated that you do not surf anymore under Windows XP. You have to stand by your statements at some point. You've given up Windows XP and you've said so everywhere. You only need Windows XP for your oldtimers, but not for everyday surfing. Somehow, you're just a flag in the wind. Like this today and like this tomorrow.
-
And please, speak only for yourself! You don't know what others think or want. This is a very bad habit. And since you don't actually have any use for this browser, it's not particularly relevant what you would like to see in the development of this browser. Sorry, but that is the truth. But if you want to keep shooting at me, then don't force yourself. But, as is often the case with you, it has absolutely nothing to do with the real issue.
-
Why should I test things I hate and which are already reported elsewhere to be working? So, there is no contradiction at all and nothing is misleading. This thread is not about modern Firefox browsers. So, I fear you are somehow confused and misled as you didn't really follow this thread and my thread about Mypal 68 in its entirety. And BTW, you did nothing meaningful here. One doesn't have to put his two cents in everywhere. Especially if one doesn't need Mypal 68 at all. And as you already stated, you are a Windows 10 user at home. This browser is not meant to be used under this OS. And you do not surf anymore under Windows XP. So, you have no real use for this browser.

As far as I know and have read about this extension, it should work in more or most recent Firefox versions. However, since I hate all recent releases of Firefox and am a die-hard Windows XP user, I did not explicitly test the most recent Custom Buttons extension in more recent Firefox releases. I use the newer, crappy browsers as they are and only when I have to. I know. You are the creator of Mypal 68, and you have to decide what will be changed and updated in your browser. I am just a creator of custom buttons, CSS styles and scripts, a code modifier who tries to fix already existing code to make it working again. Nevertheless, I developed a lot even for Mypal 68. Anyway! Do what you have to do but please keep in mind that compatibility is a valuable asset contrary to what Mozilla is doing . To preserve the possibility to run some older stuff in more recent versions of Mypal 68 would be great, though. But if it is not possible to preserve certain, old stuff due to important and necessary changes, then, for better or worse, that's what will happen. Don't worry about my beloved custom buttons! I have already started to port my custom buttons into UC.JS scripts. Unfortunately, I have to change a lot, and the JavaScript syntax is different, but I have steadily expanded my JavaScript and CSS skills. But one thing is crystal clear. The Custom Buttons extension is simply great, incomparable and in all its facets irreplaceable. So, try to keep the compatibility with the Custom Buttons extension as long as possible! BTW, I have already fixed all issues by myself in Mypal 68.14.5b regarding the broken UC.JS scripts and CSS styles. Except the Custom Buttons extension, of course. For the UserCSSLoader, I created a complete, new CSS stylesheet. But it was much more complicated to do as before which means I don't like the new CSS. The old one was much easier and more effective. I don't understand why the more recent has to be the more complicated and restricted in these days. And I replaced the Extension Options Menu script by a more recent one. Unfortunately, I could no longer save my version.uc.js script, and therefore I had to replace it with something similar.

I don't think that 99% users won't bother with "editor path" and consider it as broken. The popup clearly tells the user to set a path to their favoured editor via a preference called view_source.editor.path in about:config for editing CSS files by this script. As it is totally self-explanatory, I have not mentioned this. If a path to your favoured file manager was set in line 46 of this script and a path to your favoured editor via view_source.editor.path, then all menu items will definitely work. And you doesn't seem to have understood what the "Import styles" entry is intended for. When clicking this entry, then all CSS styles will be loaded again on the fly. In the case that all styles have already been loaded, then clicking onto it will logically do nothing. But you can check very easily whether this feature is working or not. Copy a new style in the form of a CSS file into the CSS folder while the browser is running. It is not yet loaded. Now click on "Import styles", and the stylesheet is loaded immediately, i.e. without restarting the browser.

Great! Mypal 68.14.6a again with browser.xul. But who or what is xioxui? Maybe, you meant xiaoxiaoflood? Anyway! Development must go on but keeping compatibility as far as possible would be really great. That's why I don't like Mozilla's way of development. New releases, and compatibility breaks without end.
-
I'm glad to hear it. 1. What search are you talking about? 2. Sorry but that is not true. The UserCSSLoader script is fully working in Mypal 68.14.4b. Here is a short demo: The "Import styles"is only necessary if new styles are added or some styles have been edited. When starting the browser, all styles are automatically loaded by this script. And what do you want to open? The CSS folder? A stylesheet in an editor? The userchrome.css file? Please describe it a bit more detailed! I can't do anything with statements like that. In any case, if all is configured as I described in my instructions very detailed inside the uploaded archive, then all features of the UserCSSLoader script are definitely working. The reported issue was its CSS stylesheet which does not work in Mypal 68.14.5b only. 3. Sorry but that is not true, either. The Custom Buttons extension works fine in Mypal 68.14.4b. At the moment, I have installed 11 custom buttons in this browser. Here is a short demo: For installing a custom button, you click the "Open file" dialogue from the browser main menu, go to the Restart & Purge v2.0 10-12-24 003806.htm file I uploaded for you and click onto it. Everything else goes without saying. If you want to see my most recent Process Mode Toggler custom button in action in Mypal 68.14.4b, then have a look at here: https://msfn.org/board/topic/183495-mypal-68/?do=findComment&comment=1275154

Here is a short demo of the Extension Options Menu script: This script is no longer working in Mypal 68.14.5b due to the recent changes. You won't find anything comparable. This is an Add-ons Manager in the form of a toolbar button. Webextensions can't do that due to their restrictions. That's why you can't find any working Add-ons Manager extensions on Mozilla Firefox extensions page. P.S.: At this point, I should mention that this script works in more recent, official Firefox releases but no longer in Mypal 68.14.5b. And I totally forgot to show in the clip that a left-click onto an extension opens its Options. Even uninstalling extensions can be done via this script. In short, a fast Add-ons Manager in the form of a toolbar button.
