ProxHTTPSProxy and HTTPSProxy in Windows XP for future use
AstroSkipper replied to AstroSkipper's topic in Windows XP
I have never been using Windows XP Professional x64. Therefore, I cannot report from my own experience. As you already read in my article, this OS doesn't support SHA256 to sign certificates. Thus, I fear you are stuck with only ProxHTTPSProxyMII 1.3a when accessing MU/WU. For more detailed information in terms of your OS, you should contact @maile3241. He got it working under Windows XP Professional x64. BTW, there are other options to update your OS. I listed them in my thread 'General and specific solutions for problems regarding AU/WU/MU in Windows XP'. Have a look here:- 928 replies

@WSC4! That's not going to work. Why are you trying to access the url http://update.microsoft.com/? This is not the correct link and will only end in an error page. Did you read the whole documentation? Here is a link: Under point 18, you will find the links you need to call up: http://fe2.update.microsoft.com/microsoftupdate/v6/default.aspx?ln=e or http://fe2.update.microsoft.com/microsoftupdate/v6/default.aspx?ln=en&g_sconsumersite=1 But I recommend to read the whole documentation first to avoid further problems. Using this method to access MU/WU means that all components have to be configured 100% correctly. And please note that I have written my instructions mainly for Windows XP 32-bit! This means that a few steps can be skipped under Windows XP 64-bit. But you will realise this if you read everything carefully. Cheers, AstroSkipper

XP/Vista-compatible clients for modern email services?
AstroSkipper replied to Mathwiz's topic in Windows XP
I assume no one has attempted it. And I think there won't be anyone trying that. The only person that could realise such a port is not interested in an x64 build. TBH, I don't believe there is any acute urgency for doing so, either. -
XP/Vista-compatible clients for modern email services?
AstroSkipper replied to Mathwiz's topic in Windows XP
You can download only one type of installer from their website which is a 32-bit version. There is no other version. -
I am old school. Thus, I prefer to have my tab bar directly below the navigation and bookmarks bar as it was in the older days. Anyone who uses UXP browsers or old Firefox versions will be familiar with the Tab Utilities Phoenix or Tab Mix Plus extensions, which make changing the position of the tab bar in these browsers child's play. Interestingly. there are also Tab Mix Plus versions for the newer Firefox versions. Unfortunately, these do not work with Mypal 68; at least Firefox in version 78 is required.

The answer is yes. There are scripts to move the tab bar to the bottom of the browser window. Have a look here: Cheers, AstroSkipper

Custom CSS scripts to modify the GUI of Mypal 68 Here is a screenshot showing Mypal 68 with the tab bar below the navigation and bookmarks bar: And here is a screenshot showing Mypal 68 with the tab bar on the bottom of the window: All was done by using already existing, custom CSS stylesheets to move the tab bar to a desired position. This time, I only used scripts from CustomCSSforFx. Cheers, AstroSkipper

Add custom search engine With the extension Add custom search engine, you can create custom search engine entries for the search bar and the URL bar. Your custom search engine needs a name and search URL. Additionally, the user can determine an icon, a suggestion URL, POST query parameters, the input encoding and a description. Icons can be selected from your local computer or specified as an URL pointing to an image. The extension UI is accessible via a button right next to the URL/search bar or the options in the Add-ons Manager. Tested version: 4.2 Here is a screenshot: Download link: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-custom-search-engine/ The extension Add custom search engine is one of those I mentioned in my previous article Managing search engines in Mypal 68. I tested this extension by creating a custom search engine and adding it to Mypal 68. It worked without any problems.

My Browser Builds (Part 4)
AstroSkipper replied to roytam1's topic in Browsers working on Older NT-Family OSes
TBH, it was a long time ago when I corrected this issue. It may well be that I had also corrected entries in the colors.dtd file at that time. And the issue is related to the Colors dialogue, of course. But I definitely know (I had briefly checked before replying) that I added for example the entities I already mentioned in the content.dtd file. But maybe that wasn't the cause of the Colors problem, but of a previous problem. I compare and correct, but I don't document every single step. In any case, the most important thing is that all errors are found, and the language pack works again. And now, you at least know where to look. Anyway! I'm glad you were able to correct the Dutch language pack. -
My Browser Builds (Part 4)
AstroSkipper replied to roytam1's topic in Browsers working on Older NT-Family OSes
No, I mean the file content.dtd which is located in the omni.ja file in your current programme folder of New Moon 28. However, not the omni.ja in the main folder but the one in the subfolder browser. You only have to extract it then. The omni.ja is an archive file which can be extracted by 7-Zip, for example. After extracting, you will find the file content.dtd in the subfolder /chrome/en-US/locale/browser/preferences. Hope I could help you. -

@nicolaasjan BTW, you are welcome to post your corrected Dutch language pack in my thread Extensions and custom buttons for UXP browsers - Corrections, modifications, adjustments, and special recommendations.Then, I would list it in the second post of my thread, as I already did for my German language packs, so that users can find it much more easily. Only if you want, of course. -
My Browser Builds (Part 4)
AstroSkipper replied to roytam1's topic in Browsers working on Older NT-Family OSes
Under browser\chrome\de\locale\browser\preferences\, for example, new entities were added to the file content.dtd starting from line 33 jsOptions.label, jsOptionsWasm.label, jsOptionsWasm.accesskey. The best is to compare this file with the original English one, and you will see all the entities to be added, removed or changed. -

My German language pack for New Moon 28 - Fixed - Part 2 In the German language pack from the quoted post above, I found another issue under Einstellungen -> Inhalt -> Farben months ago. Here is a screenshot to demonstrate this issue: I had already fixed this problem at that time and the language pack got the version number 28.10.0rc3. This fixed version wasn't offered by me, though. Here is a screenshot of the fixed version: Yesterday, @roytam1 reported a new problem in the preference menu under Einstellungen -> Datenschutz due to changes of some entities. Here is a screenshot of this new issue: Today, I have fixed this issue in version 28.10.0rc3 and have assigned the number 28.10.0rc4 to the new, corrected version. Here is a screenshot of the fixed version: And here is the download link of the updated, German language package in version 28.10.0rc4 for New Moon 28 from 2023-10-19 and up: https://www.mediafire.com/file/6f7jyk6fldmzihh/de-28.10.0_RC4.xpi/file Greetings from Germany, AstroSkipper

Thanks for the hint, @roytam1! I'll update my German language pack as soon as possible. I already fixed another problem in the options dialogue months ago.
