    @Cixert Good job! Summarising all our findings is a good idea. However, I noticed that you didn't mention any exclusions. Did you end up without any additional exclusions in the corresponding ExcludeList-xxx.txt files? Especially when downloading .NET Framework updates for Windows XP? In the latter case, for example, I had to set additional exclusions to avoid the download of incompatible, unnecessary updates.

    Hiding the tab bar with still full access to all open tabs via the sidebar in Mypal 68

    Hiding the tab bar with still full access to all open tabs via a toolbar button in Mypal 68

    Personally, I prefer the tab bar visible to manage tabs and jump to the one I need, just the way it has always been. I only made the CSS code above on request and to show that the corresponding code can be easily created for hiding the complete tab bar, even including the New tab button. For all who need as much free screen as possible while surfing, but do not want to do without tabs completely, there will be soon a modified version of "Make the tab bar invisible in Mypal 68" in the next posts.

    What kind of drawback is it? The last weeks, I had been using Mypal 68.14.3b, and all in all, I couldn't observe any serious problems. Today, I have updated to Mypal 68.14.4b. I should mention at this point that I use all your releases with an xul.dll file rebased on the base address of 0x6af00000 to try to improve the terrible memory hunger of Mypal 68. As a further and quite effective measure, especially in multiprocess mode, I automatically perform every 10 minutes a memory minimization by a legacy custom button. In this way, I free Mypal 68 from occupied RAM memory (and that's not even that little) that it does not want to release on its own, even though it no longer needs it. I wonder if such a feature could be optionally implemented in Mypal 68 under the Options → Performance tab, i.e. a checkbox with an input field to minimize memory every x min where x is set by the user. In the end, this would automatically call up the already existing minimize memory function, which all Firefox browsers natively have, periodically. In any case, Mypal 68 (and thus Firefox) must be restricted as far as RAM consumption is concerned. Especially on old, weak computers that are only equipped with a small amount of RAM.

    Disable hardware acceleration as a test to see if eBay tabs still crash or not! Check all relevant settings regarding hardware acceleration in about:config! Especially media and codecs related ones. Tab crashes are very often related to the hardware acceleration as reported by users. Of course, there may also be other reasons. Check also your graphics card drivers and all related settings! Furthermore, try to block on eBay as much as possible by uBlock Origin! And provide your hardware specs regarding CPU, RAM and graphics card, and the used OS! PS: All test should be done in a brand new and clean profile to ensure that the used profile isn't faulty.
  7. AstroSkipper
    No. Actually, these crashes can't be related to these two prefs settings. I use both for a longer time and didn't notice any tab crashes. TBH, I have never seen this messsge before. This must be caused by someting different. And the crappy eBay website doesn't work well in Mypal 68 for some time. I did an order on eBay yesterday using Mypal 68, and it wasn't a pleasure. You should use uBlock Origin in any case especially if accessing such bloated websites. Do you use Mypal 68 in single- or multi-process mode? Do you use a new, clean profile? Please provide more detailed information when posting issues!
  8. AstroSkipper
    TBH, there is actually nothing to work out. Just a bit copy and paste following the instructions. Reading and directly doing is the method.
  9. AstroSkipper
    Yes, I like this extension. It does its job, and the problem with the sporadic disappearance of the Clean Links' toolbar icon doesn't occur anymore.
  10. AstroSkipper
    Set both prefs dom.max_script_run_time and dom.max_ext_content_script_run_time to the value of 0 via about:config!

    First of all, a little tip when replying to a post by quoting. Afler clicking the quote button, you should put your reply outside the quote. Otherwise your actual reply is hidden inside the quote, and only expanding the quote would make it readable. Back to the CSS code. All is described in detail in my article and additionally inside the MYPAL_68_CB_requirements.7z package. It's almost like an instruction manual. You can't really do anything wrong. The whole thing actually only takes a few minutes. Once this initial setup is done, you can easily add or manage UC.JS scripts as well as CSS stylesheets. If you have problems following the instructions, feel free to ask here!

    TBH, what are you talking about profile rebuild process? Simply unpack the most recent version of Serpent to a folder and create a new, clean profile without any modification! Then test the Restore Session functionality! It's that simple. No rebuilding of whatever. First checking if it is now working at all. When done, you can rebuild whatever you want to. And I bet you that the result will be that Session Restore works, but the Restore Previous Session entry is and remains greyed out.

    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.
  14. AstroSkipper
    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.
  15. AstroSkipper
    BTW, I have never seen that a Serpent version can be grayed out.
  16. AstroSkipper
    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.
  18. AstroSkipper
    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.
  19. AstroSkipper
    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.
  20. 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:
