I think it is more something like that ... There was no alpha but a correlation coefficient r of r > 0.95 to express the almost perfectly linear correlation between two statistical variables, the user interest and the (actually my) willingness for publishing. If you want to refer to what I have stated, then please in a correct way. To put it in simple, non-mathematical terms, the greater the user interest, the greater my mood to publish something.

I already reported here that Amazon Germany stopped working properly in Mypal 68.14.x: https://msfn.org/board/topic/183495-mypal-68/page/76/#findComment-1275586 Your posted article on Amazon France has even led to a crash of Mypal 68.14.7b on my old Windows XP machine when clicking on 8 ports Métal 34,99€. The causer of this misery is of course not @feodor2, but the website designers at Amazon, strictly following the rule: The more bloated, the better. However, I personally hope that @feodor2 can fix it one day.

Not necessary - here the custumbutton already published by you /*Initialization Code*/ var prefName = "security.csp.enable"; var enabledImage = "data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAABQAAAAUCAYAAACNiR0NAAAAAXNSR0IArs4c6QAAAARnQU1BAACxjwv8YQUAAAAgY0hSTQAAeiYAAICEAAD6AAAAgOgAAHUwAADqYAAAOpgAABdwnLpRPAAAAO1JREFUOE9jZPgPhFQFIAOpCalqGNi31HQdfQz8R6Gb4drVwLGNwGlQGWQxWAC5Iqnjg7LnwtSD/G0GFYSFpzSQzwTEfWjiIANhPgCx7aGG6COpg6bD/wxuWLzagWYgcgSCDDSG6pmHzcBuHGEH83IEmjxI3A4qpoDNQJBrcMFcpDCDqYFZFACV248chiBJayzGgcLrA5I4SF0tTCOQNsCiByxkBLXlJVTBOSCdA8RiaGEIMnADkoGmuAwEGSqO5C2QxlYgPg8VY4bSoCQCgqFIasPQDMViB2ZI/iFKFUQfCUqJy/WjBhIXTnhUAQCxF7FzNVSQlgAAAABJRU5ErkJggg=="; var disabledImage = "data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAABQAAAAUCAYAAACNiR0NAAAAAXNSR0IArs4c6QAAAARnQU1BAACxjwv8YQUAAAAgY0hSTQAAeiYAAICEAAD6AAAAgOgAAHUwAADqYAAAOpgAABdwnLpRPAAAAOlJREFUOE9j/M/AAERUBCADqYlBzhvpBv6jMAjgYagGiW04ToMajCwGYoPC3BVJHR+UPRemHqTADCoIiyBpIJ8JiPvQxEEGwnwAYttDDdFHUgd2IUjSDYtXO9AMRE4RID3GUD3zsBnYjSPsYF6OQJMHidtBxRSwGQhyDa40mYsUZjA1MIsCoHL7kcMQJGmNxUBQeH1AEgepq4VpBNIGWPSAw9AIastLqIJzQDoHiMXQwhBk4AYkA01xGQgyVBzJWyCNrUB8HirGDKVBSQSkNhRJbRiaoUTl5T94whc93IkykJQCZNRAygtbAOb2sXODGkDmAAAAAElFTkSuQmCC"; this.onclick = function (aE) { if (aE.button === 0) { Services.prefs.setBoolPref(prefName, !Services.prefs.getBoolPref(prefName)); setSelfImage(); } }; function setSelfImage() { if (Services.prefs.getBoolPref(prefName)) self.image = enabledImage; else self.image = disabledImage; } setSelfImage(); replace "security.csp.enable" with the desired thing Toggle CSP is a custom button I created for only toggling one preference in about:config and made it available almost two and a half years ago. To be honest, there wasn't much interest in this button. And your suggestion to use this button as a template is a little off the mark. Toggling the browser.tabs.remote.autostart preference has no direct effect while the browser is running and can't be a solution as you actually should know. More steps are to perform. If you compare the two buttons, you should notice that the PMT - Process Mode Toggler custom button has a much more complex functionality than the Toggle CSP custom button. BTW, I have revised the Toggle CSP custom button some time ago and designed it so that the manual switching of the security.csp.enable preference, for example, in about:config is also registered by the custom button to always display the correct status via the button image as well as via the button tooltip, even in such or similar cases. However, the PMT - Process Mode Toggler custom button does not need such modification, and thus, I have already removed it again, as solely toggling the browser.tabs.remote.autostart preference has no effect on the current browser session in terms of its process mode. Why to tease then? Teasing? I do not tease anyone. I just demonstrated what custom buttons are capable of, and I made it clear to think about publishing if sufficient interest was shown. No more, no less. However, I cannot see this at the moment. And to be honest, I don't know what your problem actually is. Regarding the PMT - Process Mode Toggler custom button, which I already made available for you only, I am the creator and decide for myself if and when I publish something. Just like you do when it comes to Mypal 68. One thing is clear: you are you, and I am me. No pills will help. @feodor2 If you want to tell me something specific, you should articulate it as clearly as possible. I’m not a fan of reading between the lines or subliminal hints.

Thanks for the hint! Since the version 5.2, I have been using the portable version exclusively. The installer version stopped working as you also noticed. I have now installed DiskGenius 5.6.1.1580 under Windows XP. However, on my old computer, this version needs much longer for starting as the previous versions. I am not sure if it is really fully compatible. I have to observe this version over a longer time.

@feodor2 Here is my feedback to your new release Mypal 68.14.7b: I can confirm that the loading and scrolling websites issue in multi-process mode doesn't occur anymore. Same applies to the issue that the GIF image animation was broken in single-process mode. This issue doesn't occur anymore, either. And last not least, same applies to the issue that the last confirmation popup is incorrectly displayed when installing extensions. This issue doesn't occur anymore, either. Good job! So, thank you very much for your quick bug fix version and for all your efforts! Greetings from Germany, AstroSkipper

Then you simply haven't read many of the posts in this thread and in my thread about UXP browsers. FYI, I have neither ruled out nor promised a release of the PMT - Process Mode Toggler custom button even though I generally create custom buttons for personal use. I have written at least six new custom buttons for Mypal 68 in the last few months. And long before that quite a few for the UXP browsers. After releasing some of them, I could not recognise any significant interest. BTW, I have also deepened my JavaScript and CSS knowledge considerably to modify already existing UC.JS scripts and especially to create new ones from scratch. Both are in full swing. It should be mentioned at this point that everything is purely self-taught. Programming is just a hobby of mine. I never learned it professionally. Anyway! Due to a lack of real interest in legacy custom buttons, it seems pointless to me to publish my custom buttons at the moment. I have put it in a nutshell here: Apart from that, I have already published so many different things in this forum that it is difficult for me to keep track. But I don't necessarily have to publish things that nearly nobody appreciates or wants to use. That's exactly how I see it. But we are probably the exceptions here. And then the user would also have to familiarise themselves with the special JavaScript language and its syntax provided by the Custom Buttons extension (there are commands and variables that do not exist in the standard JavaScript language) ... After all, a similar button as a template for a desired one is not always available. Long story short: the ball is now in the court of the readers of this thread.

Just a small hint. My custom button is called PMT - Process Mode Toggler. It toggles the process mode and is therefore a toggler. Back to your statement. If you really want to install the Custom Buttons extension for only one custom button without any deeper interest in Mypal 68 anyway, since you are a user who always deletes everything after a short time, then it's not worth the effort at all. This extension actually only makes sense if you want to retrofit missing features or if you plan to replace a lot of extensions by custom buttons which have only a very low resource consumption and are much less restricted than webextensions. These custom buttons can do things which webextensions are not allowed to do . And especially my self-created custom buttons do exactly what I want them to do.

To get something installed doesn't really mean anything. What matters is whether it works properly in all its features. And actually as always, a superficial view is not purposeful. That means a thorough examination is necessary.

@NotHereToPlayGames BTW, such a legacy Custom Buttons extension I have already provided in September of 2022 in my thread "Extensions and custom buttons for UXP browsers - Corrections, modifications, adjustments, and special recommendations" which can be found here: Custom Buttons - The extension for installing custom buttons. As already said, this version cannot be installed in Mypal 68. And here are more of those old Custom Buttons extensions you are referring to which are all incompatible with Mypal 68: https://sourceforge.net/projects/custombuttons/files/ Can be checked very easily. The good is you won't "have to dig through stacks and stacks and stacks of DVD-Rs" to find your Custom Buttons extension because with a probability bordering on certainty, those old versions, if you ever find any, won't either work in Mypal 68.

Long story short. My question was: And your answer was: When one reads what you have written here: one is more likely to come to the conclusion that your affirmative answer does not correspond to the facts. I doubt with a probability bordering on certainty that you have ever installed a legacy Custom Buttons extension in Mypal 68. Those legacy Custom Button extensions from the old custom buttons forum cannot be installed in Mypal 68 at all. They are not compatible with Quantum Firefox versions. They only work in older Firefox versions up to and including 56 and therefore also in the UXP browsers. As you know, I am only interested in real facts.

Yes. Very interesting. Which version of the Custom Buttons extension did you install in Mypal 68? And which method of installation did you apply to get this version fully working in Mypal 68? And since we're on-topic now, you're welcome to be as detailed as possible. In any case, I'm very curious to read what you will report. BTW, the UXP browsers New Moon and Serpent are of no interest here as Mypal 68 is a Quantum browser.

Your expression of interest has been recognised. So, you are the second one who has clearly stated his interest in my custom button. BTW, have you ever installed and used the legacy Custom Buttons extension in Mypal 68? Without it, the PMT custom button cannot be installed and would be then useless.

Your expression of interest has been recognised. So, you are the second one who has clearly stated his interest in my custom button. The PMT - Process Mode Toggler has not yet been published by me or made publicly accessible in any other way. The generally expressed interest in legacy custom buttons has so far been almost imperceptible in this thread as well as in my other thread for UXP browsers. The same applies to the technical interest in UC.JS scripts and CSS stylesheets. That doesn't motivate me much. Since @feodor2 is really interested in his browser Mypal 68 and was kind enough to restore compatibility with the legacy Custom Buttons extension, I sent him as the very first one my PMT custom button as a small gift. It made sense to me, especially considering all the effort he put into developing this browser. As far as I'm concerned, I can put it in mathematical or statistical terms. There is a clear, linear correlation between the statistical features of user interest and willingness of a developer to publish with a correlation coefficient r of r > 0.95.

This off-topic chatter bores me and has no place here. Just to make one thing clear. You dragged the typo topic into my thread. So you are the originator of this off-topic debate here. Don't be surprised if someone replies to this! So if you have nothing to contribute to the topic of Mypal 68 under Windows XP and just want to gossip about trivialities as you very often do, you've come to the wrong place and should rather visit the non-technical subforum.

Ever heard of a typo? Happens even to the best. If you had read my posts carefully, you would have noticed that I had written it correctly in the post before: The part to which you refer came in the next post: If you're not interested in the content of my posts, and you're just looking for spelling mistakes, have fun with it! You will certainly find one or two more.

I'm glad to hear that. For me, the PMT - Process Mode Toggler is ideal for testing and comparing different things in both process modes with only two clicks in the same profile. At the moment, I have reverted to the last officially compatible version 1.46. But I will test the 1.56 version again. Thanks for the hint!

@feodor2 Thanks in advance! And since you are the creator of Mypal 68, have kindly restored compatibility with the legacy Custom Buttons extension and have already installed it, I have chosen you as the very first to install my new custom button PMT - Process Mode Toggler, which I created for use in Mypal 68, only if you want, of course. I am really interested in your opinion, which you are welcome to post here or in my thread Mypal 68 in Windows XP - Custom Buttons and Extensions. I'll send you the download link via PM. The use of this custom button is explained in the Button Help which can be accessed by a right-click onto this button. Greetings from Germany, AstroSkipper

@feodor2 And after all the issues I've reported here, here's something positive that I've noticed. Mypal 68.14.6b runs pleasantly fast in single-process mode and seems to use less RAM than before. That is really pleasing. Thanks for that!

Mypal 68.14.6b - Confirmation popup incorrectly displayed when installing extensions @feodor2 When installing extensions in Mypal 68.14.6b, the last confirmation popup is incorrectly displayed. It doesn't matter whether running the browser in single-process mode or multi-process mode. Here is a screenshot: Here is, for example, a screenshot taken from Mypal 68.14.4b where this confirmation popup is correctly displayed. TBH, this issue is not as important as the previous ones but it is an issue. Or did you make this change consciously?

Mypal 68.14.6b - GIF image animation broken in single-process mode @feodor2 Purely by chance, I have discovered that the animation of GIF images in Mypal 68.14.6b does not work when the browser is operated in single-process mode. Of course, the preference image.animation_mode is set to the value normal. When switching to multi-process mode, however, the animation of GIF files works again. So this seems to be an issue that only affects the single-process mode. Look at my Matrix GIF image below! I should still mention that this issue didn't occur in your previous releases. Cheers, AstroSkipper

@feodor2 First of all, thanks for all your efforts! Especially for restoring the compatibility with the legacy Custom Buttons extension in Mypal 68.14.6b. At the moment, I am testing this new release and found several issues. Mypal 68.14.6b - The loading and scrolling websites issue in multi-process mode Unfortunately, I have to report that loading websites and scrolling them from top to bottom is seriously broken in my fresh installation with a fresh profile (untouched) when running Mypal 68.14.6b in multi-process mode. If scrolling to the top of this MSFN page, for example, leads to a blue window without content. Here is a screenshot: I didn't notice any corresponding errors in the browser console. I have installed the browser versions 68.14.4b, 68.14.5b and, since today, the browser version, 68.14.6b under Windows XP. The website loading and scrolling issue does not occur in version 68.14.4b or in version 68.14.5b. That means the issue started as of your new release 68.14.6b. And the general.smoothScroll preference is of course set to true which is the default value. So, this issue seems to be a more general one in multi-process mode and does not only happen if the general.smoothScroll preference is set to false. P.S.: After some more tests, I noticed that the website loading and scrolling issue doesn't seem to occur in your new release 68.14.6b when running the browser in single-process mode. In this mode, the loading and scrolling of this MSFN website here is very fast and error-free. It therefore appears to be primarily a multi-process mode issue. Maybe, this information is useful for you. At least I do hope so. Cheers, AstroSkipper

Eassos DiskGenius (formerly PartitionGuru) has been my favourite partition manager for years. As far as I know, the last XP compatible version is 5.5.0.1488 from 2023 and works very well under Windows XP. Many, many features, and you get very detailed information about your drives. It is even able to create images of partitions. In any case, I no longer allow any other partition tools to access my hard drives. And I tried a lot of them in the past.

I assume you rather have a problem with a Windows XP SP3 essential security update since you didn't specify which update you are referring to. This, however, means that no one can help you.

The programme LegacyUpdate has been updated and is now available in version 1.10. Here can be found the corresponding changelog: https://github.com/LegacyUpdate/LegacyUpdate/releases/tag/v1.10.0.0 I'll also update my original post as soon as possible. Cheers, AstroSkipper

Since you replied to @ItCoder, I assume that you are using his proxy server method for restoring MU/AU. Your image shows the error code 0x8024400A which is listed as SUS_E_PT_SOAPCLIENT_PARSE - failed in parsing response. This error can also be found in your uploaded WindowsUpdate.log. A very short research led to the following: The error 0x8024400A often occurs in connection with a Windows Server Update Services (WSUS). The reason for this may be that the WSUS configuration was not carried out correctly or the settings were not distributed correctly via the global group policy. Check the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate Additionally, you can use the WSUSClientDiagTool tool for checking your WSUS settings. BTW, I personally have never been using @ItCoder's proxy server method. Therefore, I can't say more about it. Cheers, AstroSkipper
