    Although I am behind a router with a NAT- firewall, I always use a software firewall to control all incoming and outgoing connections. There are programmes installed in my system I do not allow to connect to the internet. Furthermore, I always use an antimalware programme. All in all, I consider such an configuration as a basic one when it comes to the matter security. But all that is not yet an answer what is going on with the Restore Previous Session entry of New Moon's or Serpent's History menu.

    Thanks for the tip! Maybe, this helps next time in a crashed profile where the Session Manager extension wasn't installed. But unfortunately none of this answers what is going on with the Restore Previous Session entry. Apart from that, I have started using the OneTab extension more intensively again to not lose important tabs anymore.

    BTW, I have never seen that a Serpent version can be grayed out.

    Long story short. Some months ago, I lost the complete session in my main profile of New Moon 28. No chance to restore this session. And the "Restore Previous Session" entry was greyed out as usual. I think the user can't rely 100% on the native "Restore Session" function. If tabs or sessions must not be lost, it is better to install the Session Manager extension. And the "Restore Previous Session" entry doesn't seem to work at all, at least in New Moon 28 or Serpent 52. But maybe, someone knows more about this "Restore Session" stuff.

    The "Purge all caches" button was unfortunately removed when releasing uBlock Origin 1.55. I love it when useful, tried and tested features are simply removed, for whatever reason. Here is a link: https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/releases/tag/1.55.0 The good is, in my special mod uBlock Origin Legacy which of course isn't compatible with Mypal 68, it will stay forever. But this is another story.

    I can confirm that the Session Restore feature still works in the most recent Serpent 52 from 15.08.2024. Here is a screenshot: But why is the Restore Previous Session entry in the History menu always grayed out? I haven't seen this entry activated for a very long time, no matter what happened in the browser session. Or to put it another way, under which conditions will the Restore Previous Session entry be activated at all? It seems to depend on the setting "Remember history" from what I read, but this is activated in my profiles by default.

    When using UC.JS scripts and/or CSS stylesheets, the user should not forget to clear the startup cache, especially when changes are made. This measure ensures that all modifications are applied correctly.
  8. AstroSkipper
    The good is that the user of New Moon and Serpent has still the choice, at least until now. All prefetching features can be manually disabled to ensure that uBlock Origin Legacy works properly, especially if the user notices interference. So, everyone can decide for themselves what is important to them.

    Make the tab bar invisible in Mypal 68 @tinman2000 This is the code of my self-created tabs-toolbar-invisible.css file to make the tab bar invisible in Mypal 68. This file has to be created in the mypal_profile_folder\chrome\css folder (mypal_profile_folder has to be replaced by the name of your profile folder, of course): #tabbrowser-tabs { visibility: collapse !important; } .tabs-newtab-button { display: none !important; } As you can see, it is a short code which was created and successfully tested by me in a new, clean profile. Contrary to the code you linked to, I modified only relevant IDs and classes. And just for clarification, CSS code can't really remove elements but change their appearance, i.e. in this case make them invisible. Whether this CSS stylesheet also works in a heavily customised profile, I can't say. This has to be tested by the user. If necessary, the code must be modified then. And this is how your userChrome.css file in the mypal_profile_folder\chrome folder should look like: /* Copyright (c) 2017 Haggai Nuchi Available for use under the MIT License: https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT */ @import "./css/tabs-toolbar-invisible.css"; @namespace url(http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul); toolbarbutton#alltabs-button { -moz-binding: url("userChrome.xml#js"); } You see the tabs-toolbar-invisible.css file has to be imported by the userChrome.css file. The advantages of this approach is the modularity of your CSS implementations and the better overview. You always know exactly which code was responsible for what and can quickly activate or deactivate certain CSS stylesheets. The deactivation of the file tabs-toolbar-invisible.css is done inside the userChrome.css file as follows: /* @import "./css/tabs-toolbar-invisible.css"; */ The requirements for use is, as already mentioned, the package MYPAL_68_CB_requirements.7z provided by me in the first post of this thread. If all done, your browser with a new, clean profile should look like this: Cheers, AstroSkipper

    Thanks! All further considerations regarding your request will be now done in my thread which I created especially for such things.

    @tinman2000 As your request refers to CSS browser modifications, I would like to continue our conversation here in this thread which was created by me for such purposes. So, you want to completely get rid of the tab bar for whatever reason. You linked to this CSS stylesheet https://raw.githubusercontent.com/OneJaredNewman/firefoxcss/main/userChrome.css which you wanted to use to reach your goal but it didn't work for you. TBH, this CSS stylesheet contains a lot of (unnecessary) code which is not directly related to the hiding of the tab bar. The linked code was actually meant to create a vertical tab bar for which, among other things, the horizontal tab bar had to be hidden. So, it was never meant to only hide the horizontal tab bar. If you simply use CSS code provided as it is, recommended by whomever or found by searching the Internet, you will quickly realise that it does not always work or does not correspond to what you actually wanted to achieve. Very often, CSS stylesheets are more adapted to the respective browser (and its version), a specific purpose by its creator and the changes made so far, i.e. they are more of an individual nature. Personally, I am a friend of minimal and more universal code that actually achieves the desired result. When I am back at my desktop computer, I will provide short CSS code to make the tab bar and the new tab button invisible, all that in a separate post, so that it can be found more easily later. But as I already mentioned, you should first prepare Mypal 68 so that such CSS implementations work properly. This has been described in detail in the first post of my thread under "Reqiurements for custom buttons, other script-generated objects and CSS code implementations in Mypal 68":

    You're welcome. You can customise Mypal 68 to your needs using CSS stylesheets and UC.JS scripts. I already gave you a link to my thread: https://msfn.org/board/topic/183657-mypal-68-in-windows-xp-custom-buttons-and-extensions/ There, you can find a lot about this stuff. If I understood you correctly, you want to completely get rid of the tab bar. Right? You can do such modifications via CSS code inside the userChrome.css file or via separate CSS files which must then be integrated into the userChrome.css via the import command. The latter is the way I prefer. But first, you should prepare Mypal 68 as described in the first post of my thread under "Reqiurements for custom buttons, other script-generated objects and CSS code implementations in Mypal 68". @tinman2000 Is that what you had in mind? Mypal 68.14.3b without tab bar and new tab button:

    If you want to use prefetching for faster loading of websites and their content, you should untick this option in uBO to avoid interference. But prefetching and DNS prefetching shouldn't be mixed up.

    Update notification! As already reported, the Root Certificates have been updated and are now from 28-05-2024. Here again a screenshot: I totally forgot to update 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). I have just made up for that. Cheers, AstroSkipper

    If I wanted to install a Comodo Firewall 6.x.x version, I would go with Comodo Firewall 6.3.39949.2976 as it is the last archived version. You know I personally prefer Windows 10 Firewall Control XP Plus which I have been using for many years.
  17. AstroSkipper
    So, have you found anything yet? I'm pretty sure that the original installer was stored somewhere on the Windows system partition. When the uninstaller is called to change features, you can check which files are accessed. I assume it'll be a MSI installer.
  18. AstroSkipper
    It's been a long time when I used Comodo Firewall. If I remember correctly, I stopped using it at the version 5. Which version introduced the modernised UI you don't like? BTW and AFAIK, Comodo Firewall 8.4.0.5165 was the last properly working version in Windows XP.
  19. AstroSkipper
    You're welcome. I only picked installers of version 6.x as I was of the impression you'd prefer the version 6. But other versions are also still available.
  20. AstroSkipper
    BTW, there is a chance that this installer still exists in one of your subfolders of the c:\Windows folder, added there for a later install or uninstall of programme features. Search for it there!

    I only had to click on the button "Purge all cashes" and, after updating all filter lists, the BPCF filter list was updated, too. The BPCF website does not work in New Moon 28, either, but fortunately in Thorium.

    Inductive conclusion and generalisation of my empirically acquired data regarding sudden Thorium (Chrome) browser crashes: After all the measures, investigations and my proof, I described in detail in previous posts, I have come to the conclusion that spontaneous, recurring crashes of Chrome browsers, as, for example, Thorium, can be caused first and foremost by drivers or driver corpses, but also by services or programmes, running in the background responsible for interference, among other things like hardware defects and so on, of course. The so-called filter drivers deserve special mention at this point. Many of the Chrome browser crashes that have been numerously reported in different Internet forums, are probably due to this. But without a thorough investigation, such issues can't be clarified, and their real cause was therefore very often never discovered. So, my advice at this point. If such crashes happen, check first the Windows\System32\drivers folder for drivers or driver remnants that could be the causer (in most cases rather drivers from third-party providers), even if they are loaded correctly and do not produce any error messages! Problematic drivers can of course be loaded from other locations than the Windows\System32\drivers folder, too, especially when it comes to third-party drivers, all depending on the respective system, of course.
  23. AstroSkipper
    I have just noticed that the update of the BPCF userscripts seem to be done automatically by the developer. You will only notice that if the userscript manager has been configured to update them automatically, too. If so, user actions are not really necessary.
  24. AstroSkipper
    Glad to hear that all is now working for you!
  25. AstroSkipper
    If you are additionally using the Bypass Paywalls Clean filter usersrcipts, don't forget to also update them in your userscript manager!
