Update notification! Both versions of my Root Certificate and Revoked Certificate Updater have been updated and are now of 05/24/2022. You can find them in section Downloads -> Latest Downloads -> Downloads related to Root Certificate Updates in the first post of this thread. Cheers, AstroSkipper

No new comments, problems, requests or even further solutions have been posted. Absolutely great! 'Cause I'm going to try to interpret this (for me the only way to do that) in the way that all important solutions have already been posted here, and everyone in the forum seems to have no problems anymore to access WU or MU website for checking updates in Windows XP. And so, maybe, one purpose of this thread might have been fulfilled! Cheers, AstroSkipper

I installed palefill 1.11 in NM28 and I tested new interface of VirusTotal. It works without setting dom.moduleScripts.enabled to false. Great! Big thanks to martok & co! And if there are websites which don't work as expected, you can create exclude rules in palefill's options. But in Mypal 68 this solution is not applicable due to support of web extensions only. Therefore the solution for Mypal 68 is still to set variable dom.moduleScripts.enabled to false at the moment. Cheers, AstroSkipper

In xpi-archive file install.rdf has to be modified: <!-- Pale Moon --> <em:targetApplication> <Description> <em:id>{8de7fcbb-c55c-4fbe-bfc5-fc555c87dbc4}</em:id> <em:minVersion>28.14.0</em:minVersion> <em:maxVersion>31.*</em:maxVersion> </Description> I lowered minVersion from 28.14.0 to 28.10.0 as I always do when installing polyfill add-ons. Now the add-on palefill 1.11 can be installed in NM28 and I tested new interface of VirusTotal. It works without setting dom.moduleScripts.enabled to false. Great! Big thanks to martok & co! Of course, there might exist websites which don't work as expected. In palefill's options rules can be excluded. Simply try it! Cheers, AstroSkipper

BTW I already posted the problem and the solution in your thread! Read here: and here: Seems you didn't read all posts in your own thread! Cheers, AstroSkipper

Works for me too! Read this post: Cheers, AstroSkipper

Wow! You are great! If you read my original post carefully, you'd notice that I already mentioned this. But, only for you, I made it more readable! Therefore, nothing new in the West! And the number of broken websites is unbelievable, just one! And that means it's a perfect solution! If you want to access your great found, you have simply to toggle variable dom.moduleScripts.enabled. Anyway, great thing you found. And your conclusion is much better. Lol!

Forget about add-ons like AnonymoX and others offering free services! I tried a lot of them in the past. Most of them don't work or you're not really anonymous, quite apart from the limitations such as speed and data volume. To surf anonymously , to get an IP from another country or to gain access to sites which are restricted in your country, you should use paid VPN services with no log policy. Such connections can be used system-widely and not only in a browser as in case of AnonymoX. I am not a friend of such "anonymous or secure proxies". They are advertised with the promise to protect your privacy, but very often they don't. Anyway, I try to trust my paid VPN services. And so far I'm quite happy with them. But be careful in booking such services! You have to ensure that they offer protocols supported in Windows XP. Nearly all of their native Windows apps don't work in Windows XP anymore. In most cases they support only Windows 7 and higher versions. Cheers, AstroSkipper

Isn't it a bit too fatalistic and pessimistic? I tried to see it a bit more optimistic. But maybe, you're right! Deep down I carry the hope that my values describe reality more reliable.

20% of Russian are people, the other 80%, I don't know what they are! Sorry to say that!

Then you are on the safe side!

BTW I would never enter any passwords or secrets in a Chinese browser converted by Russian people first. No trust! Sorry! No way!

Would have been nice if you had mentioned that before. Incomplete information is not my problem.. My problem is rather the wasted time due to missing details.

Right! At first I would try to trust it, maybe one or two days, and wait a bit. If your deadline ended, I would try to contact by phone or whatever depending on how important it is for you.

In my opinion it seems to be a temporary problem. That's probably the reason why you was advised to keep calm and relaxed.

You forgot to say where you're trying to log in!

I had used ZoneAlarm Firewall for a long time in the past, long time ago. All versions of ZA v4 and v5 too. It was a good firewall at that time. But it was never a very stable and reliable one. Some versions were more stable, others less. Nowadays I wouldn't use any of these versions. The reason is there are much more better firewall solutions available, more stable and more recent without the problems I had to observe in the case of ZA. Some connections were not really blocked contrary to my settings. A lot of hanging at startup and so on. In those days I replaced ZA by Sygate Personal Firewall Professional which was much better than ZA. But for me, all these solutions are obsolete. The best firewall I have ever used is definitely Windows 10 Firewall Control XP Plus 7.5. No problems, no hanging and no unwanted connections anymore. So, spoken for me only, I have to say: Bye, Bye, ZA and all old not always properly working firewall solutions! And rest in peace! Cheers, AstroSkipper PS: Regarding to security solutions generally, the property "more recent" is very important due to changes in establishing secure connections, structure of internet and existing threats!

On a clean install try only http-links! Here is the link for Serpent 52: http://o.rthost.win/basilisk/basilisk52-g4.8.win32-git-20220528-3219d2d-uxp-0855ba43d-xpmod.7z Cheers, AstroSkipper A clean installation of Windows XP is very different depending on the source you used to install from. Truth be told I don't really understand your problem. If the download of a browser installation file doesn't work in your system, you should download it by using another system, your smartphone or your tablet. And then you simply transfer it to your target system. By the way each browser of roytam1's editions will do a good, first job to download further necessary files. I don't need to do that because my download archive contains all important files to install whatever I desire. And furthermore a clean, native installation of Windows XP will lack of the ability to establish system connections using modern protocols and ciphers. In such a case one of the proxies ProxHTTPSProxy or HTTPSProxy will be necessary to establish such connections system-widely. Cheers, AstroSkipper

Hi @XPerceniol, I wish you sincerely the very best and that the future will take a positive turn for you. Kind regards, AstroSkipper

Solution for the error code 0x80072f8f while accessing the WU/MU website using ProxHTTPSProxy or HTTPSProxy You have to install ProxHTTPSProxy's or HTTPSProxy's CA certificate to Trusted Root Certification Authority under the account local computer. A detailed instruction can be found in my original post: and in my article "ProxHTTPSProxy and HTTPSProxy in Windows XP for future use" under section Configuration → Configuration of these proxies to access the MU website successfully nowadays: Cheers, AstroSkipper

Thanks for your reply and your wish! If you knew a person with Python programming skills, it would be great. Three TLS 1.3 ciphers have to be added to existing package of REV3e. Its openssl version 1.1.1d already supports TLS 1.3. In case of ProxHTTPSProxyMII 1.3a (20150527) much more needs to be done to implement TLS 1.3 support. I can only do what I am able to, regarding my skills. Unfortunately I am not a Python programmer. Sorry! Cheers, AstroSkipper

Registry Editors Registrar Registry Manager 9.20 is a registry editor which is still supported in Windows XP. Hompage: https://www.resplendence.com/registrar There is a Free Home Edition: https://www.resplendence.com/download/RegistrarHomeV9.exe and a commercial Professional Edition. My favourite registry editor is Registry Workshop (current version is 5.0.1). Link: http://www.torchsoft.com/en/rw_information.html It is still supported in Windows XP, but it's commercial. This program is definitely worth its money. You can try it 30 days for free. Here is a download link of the English version 5.0.1 (other language versions are available): http://www.torchsoft.com/download/RegistryWorkshop.exe Cheers, AstroSkipper

Sphinx Windows 10 Firewall Control XP 7.5 is the last working version in Windows XP. There are two interesting versions: The free version Windows 10 Firewall Control XP Free 7.5: https://www.sphinx-soft.com/download/W10FC7.5/Windows10FirewallControlFree-XP-Setup.exe and the paid Plus version Windows 10 Firewall Control XP Plus 7.5: https://www.sphinx-soft.com/download/W10FC7.5/Windows10FirewallControlPlus-XP-Setup.exe The paid Plus version is definitely worth its money. I use it for years and for me it is the best firewall solution in Windows XP. Here is a link from December of 2015 where you can compare the Free and the Plus version: https://web.archive.org/web/20151229143305/https://www.sphinx-soft.com/Vista/order.html A key for Windows 10 Firewall Control XP Plus has to be requested by contacting the support because it is no longer offered officially. I mention this due to the circumstance that a regular key doesn't work with the XP version. Cheers, AstroSkipper
