    r3dfox, a modern Firefox based web browser for Windows Vista, 7, and 8!

    Posted · Edited by Jody Thornton

    Darn!  Seems the new release doesn't support tabs under the address bar (by using Zapp's Photon Theme).  Still works with ESR 128.10.  I wonder if something changed in core Firefox, but there are A LOT of different r3dFox options in Settings now.

     

    Edit:  It appears that custom entries in about:config that are used by Zapp's Photon Theme are now ignored by ESR 128.12 rc

    You will need to replace instances of "(-moz-bool-pref: " with "-moz-pref(" for the theme to work correctly

    That did fix it.

    You're right, #compact-mode doesn't seem to do anything (I hadn't actually tried it before, as I'm very happy with it the way it is!)
    132 looks exactly the same to me as 126 did.
    :)

    Actually v126 R7, the height of the tab bar was less (equivalent to modern-day Chrome), and the transport buttons (back, forward, refresh and home were a fair bit bigger.  I'll live.  It's just that when using other themes like Blue Mica, or Classic Blue, you see a weird separator line between the most right tab and the New Tab button.

    Have you tried #compact-mode in the flags?
    :dubbio:

    Yes.  That flags did not make any difference.  Then I tried #compact-ui, but that was really small.  Too small actually.

    For what it's worth, I'm using Supermium on a Dell Inspiron 1420 notebook with Vista Home Basic.  I have enabled flags for classic interface, and native user interface elements (both of which appear to make no difference).  @Dave-H are you getting the same interface that you had with v126 R7?

    Jody, friend, there's a huge improvement for us, Vista fanatics, a simply marvellous browser! Released recently. 

    Two versions. Choose marked "Vista".

    136 (non-portable)

    https://github.com/e3kskoy7wqk/Chromium-for-windows-7/releases/tag/136.0.7063.0

    134 Portable, Ungoofed.

    https://github.com/e3kskoy7wqk/Chromium-for-windows-7/releases/tag/ungoogled-chromium_134.0.6998.165

    Made by a student from China, so I can't give any personal guarantees, you understand.

     

     

    Sounds as though it's worth checking out.  Thanks @D.Draker :)

    I have not witnessed this but I do not "pin" tabs.  That bit of detail was KEY to this and nobody seems to have cited that tabs were being PINNED.

    So my curiousity would be this - does the issue self-correct if you UNPIN the tabs, exit and relaunch, then PIN them again?

    I'll have to try and look again.  I do not pin tabs ever, but I could try that.

    Just one thing, in case I'm worsening my own situation.  I never actually "install" the browser.  I open the setup archive in 7-Zip, and extract the "Supermium" folder into \Program Files\Supermium.  Then I run the executable with a shortcut.  Is that not recommended?

    I didn't see any evidence from him, Can you see the screenshot I uploaded?

    Yes I did.  Why would I lie about something like that?  Anyway, here is a link to a Github bug, with one of them showing a Windows 7 machine exhibiting the same symptoms.

    https://github.com/win32ss/supermium/issues/1263

    Scroll down the page ... See the image?  That's what I had.  Anyway, I went back to R7.

    @Jody Thornton is a trusted member, moi fellow Canadian friend, there's no reason not to trust Jody. Are you sure you write about the 132 R1 re;ease?

    Thanks @D.Draker.  That was very kind of you.  Have a good day.

    How are you folks getting the new Supermium to look more like the older R7 release, as far as tabs are concerned?  My tabs lokk really "tall" and spaced apart.  Any help is appreciated.  Just looking for perhaps, a flag to change.

    Also, there are spaces now between the tabs.
