    ... I don't think, personally, an apology was owed ; those who follow closely this thread should have already been aware of the original post mentioning Kafan (albeit in a 360EE topic): FWIW, I, too, dislike this "behaviour" and, to this day, have not found a way to override it ...

    Correction : Mozilla, aping Google to the letter, but with a delay of a few years, put Vista SP2 on the same boat as XP SP3; FxESR 52.9.x was/is the last version of Firefox to run on (plain) Vista SP2; release channel v53.0.x. could be "hacked" to launch there, too, but with serious shortcomings in the media playback department... TL:DR: Fx 53.0+ requires Win7 SP1 and higher (obviously, I'm not talking here about Vista's 64-bit Extended Kernel implementations ) ...

    Well, who would have thought? German sites/services not loading properly in "our" legacy browsers? "Dirty" workaround in Serpent 52: Pick only one (doesn't matter which) on the list of below four "about:config" prefs: layout.css.all-shorthand.enabled;true layout.css.is-where-pseudo.enabled;true layout.css.legacy-negation-pseudo.enabled;false layout.css.unset-value.enabled;true ... and toggle its value; then the sites will render OK: As I am unsure of the eventual effect on other sites, once you're finished with MM/Saturn, reset the pref you initially selected ...

    ... Can you also test whether "github.dev" now loads successfully in UXP? Below screengrab is with latest NM28: Although, besides the BigInt one, there's another alarming TypeError: Thank you so much ...

    Thanks ; however, UAC was turned off from the very start this Toshiba laptop, with Vista OEM 32-bit, came into my possession ...

    ... And why would you "fear" that? Why, OTOH, didn't you "fear" that something had gone wrong on box's side ? If it wasn't immediately obvious, no wrong doing on "your part" was implied/insinuated; I posted the "Sorry..." box screengrab as an indication that at the time I tried to fetch that file (thanks ), I was met with that box response ... Sure enough, currently (ca. 15:40 GMT) the page loads as expected and the download button(s) works, too (screengrab from St52):

    ... Yes, have also been using BC myself, but on Vista SP2 32-bit ; it was someone here that suggested it to me , but can't remember who now (either you, jaclaz , or, possibly, UCyborg ) ...

    ... I often do that myself when I have to batch-change file extensions inside a directory, however it won't help me much when needing to change something in the actual filenames ; and one other thing: the functionality you described in the first line requires at least Windows Vista, as it's not present by default in Windows XP SP3; I have seen, though, over the years, some .reg files or other utilities intended for XP that try to emulate it; e.g. https://techjourney.net/add-open-command-window-here-to-windows-xp-folder-with-powertoy/ https://petri.com/add_command_prompt_here_shortcut_to_windows_explorer/ [Use at your own risk! Have not tried myself...] Regards.

    ... And just because I am, I posted my "reservations" wrt the "chocolatey" package referenced; simple as that ...

    ... I believe the focus by users here is on Client versions of Windows (XP) 32-bit, not on their Server counterparts; WinXP SP1 (x86), as pointed out by @Dixel, as well as the x86 Server Editions, had PAE enabled by default; MS disabled PAE in SP2+ x86; at least that's what I understood after a bit of searching (was not having a computer around the Win XP SP1 era ) ...

    Thanks for your kind and genuine concern ; Wed, July 26th, will be a living inferno at "my" place (33-44C) , but temps should fall back to tolerable figures after Thurs 27th ... ... In all fairness to that "previous post" you're alluding to, a download link was never asked originally: OT: I'm finding myself posting less frequently in MSFN lately, especially when I see "behaviour" I don't condone myself - I really hate "politics" and some posts and actions by certain members here are being "policy"/strategy-driven; "opposing" groups of members have formed and the reason of the "opposition" isn't actually based on the merit of one member's contributions, but on (often irrelevant) matters like age, nationality, political "tendencies", "way/style" of expressing one's thoughts, etc. I'm no member of any social medium, I, practically, only post here (when I feel the need to ) and on GitHub, so I have no "addictions" related to "like/approval" counts; I have striven to remain impartial and only (positively) react to content I find useful/helpful, never giving a second thought if the member posting it isn't to my full approval as a "character/person"; sadly, that same impartiality isn't exercised by everyone here and this has become quite evident to those (few?) of us frequenting the forums on a steady basis... I was raised as a liberal person so I had to speak my mind about how I feel; apologies if any of you found that little "rant" as unacceptable/offending... Best wishes to all : remember, we all share the same planet ...

    Unless I'm being thick due to the excessive heat where I live, how is that link useful here? It requires "chocolatey" package manager, an attempt to equip the Windows OS with a package manager like MacOS (Homebrew) and various Linux flavours... AFAIAA, Chocolatey isn't compatible with Windows XP: https://docs.chocolatey.org/en-us/chocolatey-components-dependencies-and-support-lifecycle#supported-windows-versions If one uses the "Download" button at the bottom of the left sidebar, one ends up with a "sqlite-studio.portable.3.1.1.nupkg" file... I even went as far as extracting that file with 7-zip, in PS script file "./tools/chocolateyInstall.ps1" there indeed lives a "download URL": $packageName = 'sqlite-studio.portable' $url = 'https://sqlitestudio.pl/files/sqlitestudio3/complete/win32/sqlitestudio-3.1.1.zip' $checksum = 'ddcaae8f6579de62174337f50e3a64a6f2112b8189796a7902933dd1bbe140ac' ... but, sadly, that url 404s now (but was actually "saved" by the WA, as @AstroSkipper posted later on) ... So, why was that link posted, especially since some 4min ago before your post "we" already had an answer: If I'm still missing something obvious, please enlighten me ... Kind regards.

    PR#2276, which "closes" issue #1240, has been now merged in the official UXP repo: https://repo.palemoon.org/MoonchildProductions/UXP/compare/7175868...b4ddadd

    Relevant info on HSTS: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Strict-Transport-Security Emphasis put on the "note":

    ... I just hate it when I have to contradict you , but latest Serpent 55 works as intended here with the plain HTTP version of "html5test.com": http://html5test.com/ Either "you" have an extension/extension setting that forces HTTPS on connections, or "I" have, in both St52+55, a "custom setting" that doesn't forcibly redirect to the secure version of a site (when it exists...); try on a fresh St55 profile, perhaps ?
  19. VistaLover
    If you must use "html5test.com" on Serpent 52 (and the rest of the UXP-based browsers), you can simply use the plain HTTP version of the test suite ; all connections work via plain old HTTP, even the ones to "api.whichbrowser.net":

    Was that under Windows XP? 360EE variants have known limitations under that OS to verify certificates, associated with the OS's inability to support ECC (Elliptic Curve Cryptography) and SNI, among other ailments... The v13.x variants (Ch86-based) are known to produce the infamous "red X" icon in their URL bar over many HTTPS connections, and such reports are common inside the 360EE subforums ... The fact they do connect implies that secure negotiation is, in essence, broken under XP (it is silently by-passed ) ... The "cosmetic" annoyance of the "red X" icon is usually suppressed by the " --ignore-certificate-errors" flag, indeed present inside the "360Loader.ini" shipped with the NHTPG "mods"; are you using one of these? Exactly!

    GitHub, i.e. Microsoft, are currently "baking" another "royal screw" for "legacy" clients/platforms, in the form of "passkeys" ; it's currently under a "Feature Preview" flag one can opt out of, for now: About passkeys - GitHub Docs According to: https://passkeys.dev/device-support/ this "security" feature (which is based on the Web Authentication API) requires at least Google Chrome 108 and Win11 22H2 ... https://passkeys.dev/docs/reference/windows/ I've resisted 2FA on GitHub with a passion (as I don't own a mobile device myself ), but I sense it'll become mandatory even for "plain" GH users such as I ; earlier in the year, it was shoved down the throats of "repo/organisation" managers, or something to that effect...

    ... Of course I do , I was here for all that period... Hopefully, "these dark times" () are now way behind us, never to be experienced again (fingers crossed) ... Are you referring to @i430VX 's one (and various other, home-made recipes, based on batch files) ? Surely, these "convenience" tools could be adapted for newer, more "accurate", browser-package filenames, especially if a notice was put out a week or two before any eventual changes ...

    1. Go to "about:config" 2. Locate "plugins.always_show_indicator" 3. Toggle its value (from false -> true) From then on, once you visit a site requiring Flash (or other NPAPI plugin), you'll always get the plugin icon at the left of the URL bar; below, a NM28 screengrab when visiting: https://www.ultrasounds.com/US.html

    Pardon me for asking, but is that based on some new "policy"/conviction? Also, hash "d849524bd" corresponds to https://repo.palemoon.org/MoonchildProductions/Pale-Moon/commit/d849524bd which is from 2 (!) years ago... Current tip of the official PM repo is at: https://repo.palemoon.org/MoonchildProductions/UXP/commit/cd0c08484dd8681e20191592527f8b23a8d3c06c If that string is there inside the NM28 package's filename as a remnant from past times, perhaps it should be removed, to avoid confusion (for the few people like myself who actually check commit hashes/source code ) ... The redownloaded package (Last modified: 2023-Jul-15 08:00:34): "basilisk52-g4.8.win32-git-20230715-3219d2d-uxp-787a64cf9-xpmod.7z" actually corresponds to custom UXP branch snapshot cf35c4742 ... And, like above, hash "3219d2d" corresponds to: https://repo.palemoon.org/Basilisk-Dev/Basilisk/commit/3219d2d again from two years ago ; tip of the official Bk repo is currently at: https://repo.palemoon.org/Basilisk-Dev/Basilisk/commit/6c67945dafc47792c7028b50405cfd65dab2ff77 If that 2yr-old string inside St52's package filename serves no purpose now, perhaps remove it altogether? AFAIAC, latest St52 package could just be named (for x86, SSE2+) as: basilisk52-g4.8.win32-uxp-custom-git-20230715-gcf35c4742-xpmod.7z Kind regards, thanks for the stupendous work you're doing ...
