    @exogenesis, @roytam1 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=335545 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=335545#c14 https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=208270 Google searches also implicate browser extensions... clipboardcache files are also created by your OS's clipboard manager, when you copy to the clipboard content exceeding some minimum size: http://jonathan.lalou.free.fr/?p=121 If you want absolute privacy, don't copy/paste login credentials in your browser, type them instead directly (unless, of course, you've been infected with keyloggers ) ...

    Profiles of Serpent 52.9.0 are basically architecture independent, except if you have extensions with binary components (very few exist), plus you'll need the x64 versions of some plugins (e.g JRE) if you want them to load in a x64 browser profile... However, I can't currently test with a x64 OS, so take what I said with a very minute (!) pinch of salt... As you noted, mixing profiles of different applications isn't advised - and profile migrations within the same application should only be attempted when updating from an older to a newer application version/build (i.e. not backwards).

    Thanks for the clarification and screengrab ; so, the AOM will definitely look as "before", but not act completely as "before" ; I browsed briefly the changes inside extensions.js & extensions.xul, what I gathered (at this early morning hour here) - and is proven correct by your image - is that we'll have both the "fixed" version number (as before) and the version number as a tooltip (conceived by Mozilla to replace completely the former ), when cursor placed inside the extension's entry...

    I think I fixed this with "add_ons_manager_version_number-1.0.2-nm27.xpi" : It'll have to do until next week's NM27 build is released...

    https://github.com/roytam1/palemoon27/commit/3bb6519 Hugely indebted ; if I might ask, what exact part of #1161183 was not reverted? IOW, will NM27's TychoAM look the same as in previous build 27.9.7 (32-bit) (2021-02-12) ? Using Aris' extension [Add-ons Manager - Version Number v1.0.1] in latest NM27 isn't a complete solution, because while it does restore version numbers, it takes away the "blue/red dot" feature of TychoAM; I guess this is because said extension uses files from Fx 40.0, not PM27... Thanks for that ; I wasn't sure if that was the case (... I don't speak Javascript , remember?), plus I was feeling lazy to test in Fx < 41.0, so to be on the safe side I hardcoded <em:minVersion>41.0</em:minVersion>, with the expectation that Fx < 41.0 users could always continue using v2.1.9 of the extension... Best regards

    Another not welcome (at least by me) implemented change in latest NM 27.9.7 (32-bit) (2021-02-19), as a result of backporting Fx 41.0 code, is the disappearance of extensions' version numbers inside addons-manager (AOM): This is a direct result of Bugzilla Bug #1161183 landing in https://github.com/roytam1/palemoon27/commit/fd2bb43 as: Bug 1161183: Don't show the add-on version in the list view. r=dao (559bfa7a5) That change was one I objected to with vigor at the time (being a Nightly Tester), but when Firefox 41 stable arrived with it merged, I was already using Classic Theme Restorer, which soon provided a setting to restore AOM to the way it was pre-41... Of course, other Firefox users complained to Mozilla about this change, but Mozilla by then were already on a steady course to degrade their browser into one targeting 10yr-olds, so, unfortunately, Bugzilla Bug #1175324 was WONTFIXed I don't know how @roytam1 feels about this change, but Aris is here again to the rescue: caa:addon/amversionnumber/versions?page=1#version-1.0.1 Download the very first version (1.0.1) of "Add-ons Manager - Version Number", patch install.rdf to add a NM27 specific targetApplication block (see my previous post) and install:
  8. VistaLover
    ... and here is AdblockEdge v2.1.10 for NM27: http://s000.tinyupload.com/?file_id=00091647840675622436 Changes from v2.1.9: 1. Implemented patch to ui.js as per @roytam1 2. Removed signature related directory/file 3. Removed references inside chrome.manifest to non-existing localisation dirs 4. Cosmetic changes to install.rdf 5. Changed Fx related entries inside install.rdf to <em:minVersion>41.0</em:minVersion> <em:maxVersion>45.*</em:maxVersion> ... so it could install and work in FxESR 45 fork (hopefully...) 6. Introduced NM27 targetApplication block inside install.rdf, so it could install as a native extension: <em:targetApplication> <Description> <!-- New Moon 27.9.7+ --> <em:id>{8de7fcbb-c55c-4fbe-bfc5-fc555c87dbc4}</em:id> <em:minVersion>27.9.7</em:minVersion> <em:maxVersion>27.*</em:maxVersion> </Description> </em:targetApplication> 7. Removed fennec2+seamonkey+thunderbird targetApplication blocks... 8. Changed homepageURL to the last working webarchive snapshot: http://web.archive.org/web/20180516130655/https://bitbucket.org/adstomper/adblockedge DISCLAIMER: Use at your own risk - not tested extensively; as I said already, users of 2.1.9 should probably move on to a more current/maintained adblocker extension...
  9. VistaLover
    Adblock Edge v2.1.9 was the last version released before being discontinued and removed from AMO: https://dwaves.org/2017/03/01/why-was-adblock-edge-firefox-addon-removed-from-mozilla-extensions-repository/ It only ever supported Fx 26.0-39.0 to begin with... If NM27's current "upstream" are implementing Fx 41.0 code, then more breakage will take place, not only restricted to this one, but possibly with other extensions originally supporting/designed for Mozilla 38.0, which is what the original Tycho (in NM27) was forked off... @bernd will probably have to change his adblocker extension altogether... Can you try https://addons.palemoon.org/addon/adblock-latitude/ or https://addons.palemoon.org/addon/abprime/ ?

    ... Does it work on NM27? It would be unfair to compare browser extensions and/or userscripts to standalone CLI/GUI dedicated downloaders, wouldn't it? I, for one, have been an avid user/proponent of the original yt-dl CLI app, and have recommended it before in these threads without reservations (and it's an added bonus for XP users that it still supports the OS, because the devs build the Windows binary on py3.4.4)... I'm also fully aware of the existence of the yt-dl forks, yt-dlc (now abandoned) and yt-dlp (formerly/briefly yt-dld - fork of yt-dlc), that became prominent when (USA based) RIAA issued a DMCA takedown against yt-dl on GitHub... I currently use either one of yt-dl/yt-dlp (the latter has some teething issues still. also some quirks I'm not yet familiar with), for Live streams I also use streamlink (officially supported only on Win7+, but with some custom fixes (py3.7) would also run under Vista SP2 - no XP support at all is currently possible ). I'm also fully aware - the XP and Vista 32-bit communities owe a great debt to @Reino (previously aka @CoRoNe) for his 32-bit builds - especially now that the Zeranoe repos/forums have vanished into thin air and the other Windows-binary providers are ONLY compiling/offering 64-bit ffmpeg builds... Kind regards

    Posted about it previously in https://msfn.org/board/topic/180462-my-browser-builds-part-2/?do=findComment&comment=1195339 You can download videos and images from selected sites only, namely: These are local downloads, no on-line service is being used (i.e. you fetch straight from yt servers) ... MPEG-DASH streams also supported, either via downloading separate V+A streams and then manually merging them into a compatible container via your local copy of FFmpeg, or via an experimental alpha feature, where the merge is managed by the script itself... Since practically no legacy "youtube" extensions currently present inside CAA work anymore, SFN-userscript+GM4PM is an elegant and still working yt video downloader for NM27 DISCLAIMERS: 1. I don't own an SSE-only CPU, so can't possibly tell beforehand whether it works on such hardware... 2. The script is somewhat resource-heavy, especially when extracting the download links, very weak CPUs may struggle... 3. For anyone fearful of everything Russian (and the no-longer, at least by that name, existing KGB ...), this is indeed a Russian project... Best regards ("big freeze" already here in Northern Greece... ) EDIT: Another YT userscript I have installed is YouTube Links , but this one requires at least UXP browsers (e.g. NM28/St52)
  13. VistaLover
    I am happy to report that the latest NM27 release [v27.9.7 (32-bit) (2021-02-12), buildID=20210212054235] fixes both the SFN userscript and mediathekviewweb.de reported issues: Huge thanks @roytam1 (OT: Do you also celebrate the Chinese (Lunar) New Year in HK? If yes, best wishes! )

    Disabling Javascript in your browser won't protect you at all from "Remote OS detection via TCP/IP Stack FingerPrinting", which is what appears to have happened in your posted screengrab... More stuff for you to read, am afraid... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TCP/IP_stack_fingerprinting

    I can't recollect whether it's been already reported in this thread ( ), but DB Browser for SQLite , a very handy tool to inspect and manipulate SQLite databases, has moved past Vista SP2 support... Recent versions 3.12.x have been compiled using Qt5.12.x and thus require at least Win7 SP1... The last Vista-compatible version is 3.11.2 (compiled with Qt5.7.1), official download links by vendor below: https://sqlitebrowser.org/blog/version-3-11-2-released/ https://sqlitebrowser.org/blog/portableapp-for-3-11-2-release-now-available/

    If you're looking for the 64-bit edition of latest NM28 (version upped to 28.10.3a1), the correct URI is https://o.rthost.win/palemoon/palemoon-28.10.3a1.win64-git-20210206-bf093ea79-uxp-bd9fdeccc-xpmod.7z

    My previous reply was composed without reading your most recent "EDIT" ; I still feel (though I obviously might be wrong) that my "tone" in these forums strives to be civil and my responses helpful; I would extremely hate it to be called one day the M.A.T. of MSFN! But every one of us has a different/unique type of personality/mindset, especially when that is conveyed only through written speech in a forum... Complete resonance between forum members is, in my opinion, very scarce/difficult to attain... E,g. you said: I. OTOH, feel you needed to, if you were "curious" on the subject... So let's agree to disagree on that and go our merry ways... In any case, water under the bridge, I sincerely hope no ill feeling exists still on your side, best wishes... PS: When I, personally, have IT related queries, first thing I do is apply the biblical "seek and ye shall find" and when that one is exhausted without outcome, only then comes second the biblical "Ask, and it shall be given you" (with the likelihood, when not dealing with God, that it might not... )

    I apologise If I sounded harsh/hostile in my reply to you - no disrespect was implied/meant... "Your" time is as precious as anyone else's in these forums, so I won't accept that as an argument (but this is just me) ... Yes, these "Roytam1" threads go big pretty quickly, but that is why Forum (Google, etc.) search exists... I'm not even able myself to easily locate my own posts from 2-3 years ago! You have been a previous user of New Moon in your "Vista" era, so, in my book, I thought it a given you already knew how NM is being built off of official PM: (I realise now I was wrong ) - and direct links to Roytam1's GitHub repos are always given with every weekly release cycle announcement here, so one has to only go back (in this thread) a few pages at best to read the latest release notes - or bookmark the permanent link to Roy's blog ... As for calling you "superficial", sorry, I was just being carried away by the manner the majority of software users think that version N is way better than version (N-1); it's one of the reasons Mozilla moved on to a rapid - monthly - release cycle in their chase after Google Chrome... So, I just interpreted your question as "look, PM 29 has been out, are you able to match it?" ... Regards
  21. VistaLover
    FWIW, the introduction of v29.0+ in official Pale Moon has already caused the malfunctioning of several forks of popular Firefox-exclusive legacy (XUL) extensions, when installed in PM; those extensions have internal code routines that check for appVersion >= 29 and then apply, accordingly, Australis-specific code/features that, of course, are not supported by non-Australis PM29 and, thus, result in a broken extension (partly or completely) ... I won't expect New Moon 28 to forever stay at a 28.x.x version number ( @roytam1 hasn't yet indicated publicly his intentions on this), but, at the moment, staying there avoids nasty surprises from legacy Fx extensions - but may introduce issues with proper PM extensions that demand a minversion of 29.* ...

    Latest UXP forks by @roytam1 are already being built (as has ALWAYS been the case) on code cherry-picked from the master branch of the official UXP repo, as well as the master branches of official Pale Moon (for NM28) and Basilisk (for St52), so 98% of latest PM 29.0.1/29.1.0a1 and Basilisk 52.9.2021.02.06 is ALREADY there in latest NM28+St52! @Jody Thornton , with respect , you're just being superficial and looking only at version numbers, not actual source code; so get yourself informed (and refrain from possibly spreading misinformation...) . ... And it has been explained numerous times here that @feodor2 's project (Mypal) forks/follows more closely the RELEASE branch of official PM, so nothing new/surprising there...

    These prefs are NOT to be found in latest Serpent 52.9.0 BTW...

    Is "upstream" supposed to be https://github.com/rmottola/Arctic-Fox ? I briefly browsed their issue tracker, https://github.com/rmottola/Arctic-Fox/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+sort%3Aupdated-desc but no sign of a mediathekviewweb.de related open issue... Just to be clear, I'm not doubting you in the slightest, I was simply curious to read what they had to say on this... The site itself complains about an "unsupported browser or disabled Javascript", and the Web Console reports "TypeError: n.reconnection is not a function" in https://mediathekviewweb.de/static/socket.io.min.js Incidentally, package palemoon-27.9.7.win32-git-20201121-fa350a3b2-xpmod.7z (buildID=20201120050330) is the last one on which a very useful/favourite GreaseMonkey script works, on later NM27 versions it simply refuses to work at all... The userscript is SaveFromNet: https://en.savefrom.net/user.php?helper=userjs Direct link: https://download.sf-helper.com/chrome/helper.user.js Last good NM27: First bad: Browser Console error on the latter: Regression window: https://github.com/roytam1/palemoon27/compare/fa350a3...b383d6b [Showing 373 changed files with 11,858 additions and 5,748 deletions.] It's hard to pinpoint the culprit commit no doubt, but I and @bernd have great faith in you... FWIW, the same userscript works fine in UXP forks and Vista-usable Chromium forks!
