    I already posted the meaning of the error code 0x800706B5: Check if there are problems in your system with the event log service! @WSC4 As far as I understand your error code, the service BITS fails to start because the Eventlog service is not running. Check both services! Are they set to start automatically (auto)? BITS is definitely needed for MU/WU and has to be working correctly. And keep in mind, my guide was generally written for Windows XP Professional SP3 32-bit. But there were members like, for example, @maile3241 who got MU/WU running under Windows XP 64-bit using ProxHTTPSProxyMII 1.3a in the past. Whether it is still working in these days or not, I really don't know. If you can't fix it and all fails, you should give another method a try.

    At the moment, I can't find the original link to the most recent version of Custom Buttons which I am currently using. Therefore, I'll upload it and send you the download link via PM.

    It is not only a warning message which is shown in my images and when installing other unsigned extensions. The extension Custom Buttons, for example, is natively unsigned and does not work correctly due to the signature verification which seems to restrict its functionality. Only the hack did the trick which leads me to the conclusion that this feature has not really been removed, unfortunately. TBH, I hate all these restrictions in general. That's why I love the legacy UXP browsers. No serious restrictions. But nevertheless, Mypal 68 is a really good browser, and I appreciate your efforts.

    I agree. I do not agree. You are a poster here in this thread like me, no more, no less. You can ask whatever you want but asking does not mean it is an order and everyone has to obey. If you don't want to reply to a post for whatever reason, it's your decision. You are free to do what you think. But same applies to me, too, of course. And once again, posting images for documenting purpose is no spamming, and it doesn't matter whether you like it or not. This thread is about the subject matter and not about sensitivities. Period. Now, back on topic, take any extension, remove the META-INF folder, and you've got an unsigned extension. Try to install it, and you will see what happens.

    @feodor2 My posts are always rich in words, precise explanations, documented by images if necessary, on topic and written in the best possible English. You are the developer of Mypal 68 and for that you deserve recognition, but in this thread, you are a poster like any other. So please, act like it! Here, we are not in your issues on GitHub, where you have a lot of spammers and insulters, unfortunately. That's the reason why I stopped reporting issues there a few weeks ago, BTW.
  6. AstroSkipper
    What are you talking about? I ask you a simple question. And to be crystal clear, posting images for documenting facts is no spamming. You should know that regardless of your personal preferences. Everyone is different. Anyway! Based on the nature of your reply, I'll have to assume that your statement about removing the signature verification is indeed incorrect.
  7. AstroSkipper
    @feodor2 Thanks for the new release! In the release notes of Mypal 68.13.7b, you wrote: Unfortunately, I cannot confirm your statement in bold. The signature verification is still active in version 68.13.7b, and certain, unverified extensions do not work properly after installation. Here are two screenshots showing the installation of an unsigned extension: So, are you really sure that signature checking stuff has been removed? In any case, I cannot confirm this statement.

    @a8s If you're going to use a hack like this, you should also read the notes. Here is a quotation taken from the creator's notes: And if you had carried out a new installation straight away from scratch, as I advised you to do in this post, you would have immediately realised that the error was in your configuration.

    Yep, but in your Download or more precisely Opening dialogue , you have the option to "Do this automatically for files like this from now on". In New Moon 28 and Serpent 52 (2023-11-10), this option doesn't exist anymore for downloading an exe file when using a fresh profile. At the moment, the only way to directly open the Save File dialogue is to add the missing mime application/octet-stream what I have just done and to set then the option Save File manually in the Applications window. I hope this missing option will be restored.

    And in Serpent 52 (2023-11-10), the download window is definitely not resized as it should : Sometimes, it is rendered correctly, but mostly not. @roytam1 Can you have a look into that? And is the content of this window as to be expected? Cheers, AstroSkipper
  11. AstroSkipper
    And when trying to download an exe file in my very old profile, the download window looks like in this screenshot: Cheers, AstroSkipper

    Using a more recent profile, the download window in New Moon 28 (2023-11-10) looks like in the following screenshot: I did not choose to open anything, of course. Unfortunately, there is no option in this window or entry in the Applications window to set the default action when downloading an executable file.
  13. AstroSkipper
    In the most recent version of New Moon 28, 2023-11-10, both, the application and the download window, is working and showing entries. Here are two screenshots taken from New Moon 28 (2023-11-10): Therefore, regarding New Moon 28, I can't confirm the issue in my very old profile as described by @VistaLover. I will also have a look when creating a new profile. Cheers, AstroSkipper

    In Firefox 4, the status bar was replaced with the add-on bar, an empty, but customizable, toolbar. In Firefox 29, Mozilla decided to rework the UI again, and ended up in removing the add-on bar as well. From Firefox 29 to 56, the add-on bar could be restored by the extensions Status-4-Evar or Classic Theme Restorer. Mypal 68 is based on the code of Firefox 68esr, called Firefox Quantum, where no add-on bar can be found or natively be enabled by the user. Therefore, I have been looking for ways to reimplement such a status or add-on bar in Mypal 68 with the functionality to display currently loading URLs and hovered links and to place toolbar buttons there. I finally managed to do this and now I have my status bar again like in the old days. The implementation was done by JavaScript and CSS. Here is a screenshot: Cheers, AstroSkipper

    First, I wanted to say "I do not use" but then I decided to write "I don't use". Just a leftover. Thanks for the hint!

    Here are two screenshots to show where and by what means modifications have been done to the user interface of Mypal 68.13.5b: The colours of the areas mean how the modification was made. Red stands for CSS only, blue for JavaScript only, and green for both, JavaScript + CSS. Cheers, AstroSkipper

    You know I don't use Vista and never did before. Therefore, I don't know any details about compatibility with other OSes than Windows XP. And there was no real need for me to try it under Windows 7 or up. Anyway! Thanks for clarification! And happy Thursday evening to you, too!
  18. AstroSkipper
    Developing the JavaScript engine is of course a top priority in order to improve or restore compatibility with modern websites. But everything that has to do with time zones and local time does not work for a very long time. Many extensions need this feature. Maybe, you can reactivate or better re-implement it in the meantime only if the effort is manageable, of course.
  19. AstroSkipper
    Of course, your project, your priorities. I assume in terms of fixing issues it has a similar priority as the issue Internationalization & Localization https://github.com/Feodor2/Mypal68/issues/96 and others which were already long reported before. Right?

    And congrats to your developed Vista SP2 x86 targeting edition of ProxyMII! However, I thought @cmalex's ProxyMII version would also run under Vista.
  21. AstroSkipper
    That's correct. I noticed that, too when using the most recent version of ProxHTTPSProxy. That's why I already updated my post. Best regards, AstroSkipper

    Mypal 68.13.5b does not recognise the system proxy settings under Windows XP which have been set in the proxy settings of IE 8 although the option Use system proxy settings under Network Settings is enabled. I tested this with ProxHTTPSProxy. Can anyone confirm this?
  23. AstroSkipper
    Generally, everything I said in my last post applies. But unfortunately not for https://browserleaks.com/tls which does not work properly with ProxHTTPSProxyMII 1.3a due to certificate problems. I have just tested it. As we already know, this old proxy supports only SHA1 for signing certificates but not SHA256. For browserleaks.com, you need a more recent version of ProxHTTPSProxy and a more recent browser. No full functionality in IE8 anymore. Therefore, forget about https://browserleaks.com/tls and try https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/viewMyClient.html! Here is a screenshot accessing https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/viewMyClient.html with ProxHTTPSProxyMII 1.3a and IE8: This service works with the old ProxHTTPSProxyMII 1.3a. As you can see, the old proxy already supports the TLS 1.2 protocol. Therefore, it should work with MU/WU. But one thing is clear: ProxHTTPSProxyMII 1.3a is obsolete and won't work properly with many sites in these days. Cheers, AstroSkipper
  24. AstroSkipper
    Not really. Actually, you do not need to add browserleaks.com anywhere. So, why did you do that? Anyway! Please, remove these entries! If ProxHTTPSProxyMII 1.3a has been configured correctly, entered as a proxy in IE and started, it should work immediately when calling up browserleaks.com in IE. In any case, the website must not show n/a (no js). Your current settings block JavaScript on this website. No good. All SSL connections should be processed by ProxHTTPSProxyMII. You should only modify the config.ini file if you really know what you are doing and for what reason. Otherwise, the proxy won't work as expected due to misconfigurations.

    Hello @a8s! Cookie Quick Manager 0.5rc2 (and probably most of the others as well) works in Mypal 68.13.5b. No problems here. Maybe, your profile or your Mypal installation is corrupt or misconfigured. First, you should create a fresh profile and try to install the extensions again. If this doesn't help, you can perform a fresh installation of Mypal 68.13.5b. Here is a proof in the form of a screenshot: Cheers, AstroSkipper
