    So is this poetic justice or maybe was he following orders as he claims in earlier posts on that site? I am not so sure. I read his posts here and sometimes he seems alright but other times he acts like how he does when he says Moon Child was behind the scenes. I am not sure what to think. But it seems my first post likely has no chance if M.A.T was not the sole problem. I really need help understanding this.

    Damn [insert nice stuff] eat each other alive when in need. That is all there is to it.

    A local proxy that can "appear" to be anything we want it to "appear" to be.  Which FAR exceeds some third-grader knowing how to spoof a User Agent.

    True that. A steroid-fed hybrid of proxomitron and decentraleyes. If done in a pi-hole it could mean better safety/privacy and good business too.

    Hi @XPerceniol,

    For e10s, I use

    user_pref("extensions.interposition.enabled", false); // set (true for no e10s) *-*
    user_pref("extensions.interposition.prefetching", false); // set (true for no e10s) *-*

    For network stuff, these are the settings I change/monitor:

    // NETWORK
    user_pref("network.allow-experiments", false); // set
    user_pref("network.dns.disablePrefetch", true); // set
    user_pref("network.dns.disablePrefetchFromHTTPS", true); // add
    user_pref("network.http.altsvc.enabled", false); // set
    user_pref("network.http.altsvc.oe", false); // set
    user_pref("network.http.redirection-limit", 12); // set
    user_pref("network.http.sendRefererHeader", 2); // default
    user_pref("network.http.spdy.enabled", false); // set
    user_pref("network.http.spdy.enabled.deps", false); // set
    user_pref("network.http.spdy.enabled.http2", false); // set
    user_pref("network.http.speculative-parallel-limit", 0); // set
    user_pref("network.IDN_show_punycode", true); // set
    user_pref("network.IDN.restriction_profile", "high"); // set
    user_pref("network.manage-offline-status", false); // set
    user_pref("network.predictor.enable-prefetch", false); // default
    user_pref("network.predictor.enabled", false); // set
    user_pref("network.prefetch-next", false); // set
    user_pref("network.protocol-handler.external.ms-windows-store", false); //set
    user_pref("network.seer.enabled", false); // add
    user_pref("security.sri.enable", true); // default
    user_pref("webchannel.allowObject.urlWhitelist", "127.0.0.1");

    github-wc-polyfill for one. Maybe I read you wrong, I interpreted it as you got Serpent 52 addons working in Mypal 68.

    Yeah, sorry. For a few uses it seemed to work, but it breaks after visiting a few github pages. I've seen the same in e10s enabled sp52, but don't use github that much, so that's it for me.

    I have also noticed issues with ublock and umatrix dropping off, somehow, their guard, similar to chrome's "your app has crashed" but without the notification.

    I read that the new Mypal release released yesterday finally has WEBRTC.

    I wouldn't know. One of the first things I do when tweaking a browser is to turn webrtc and webgl off.

    I assume I haven't missed much, have I? :P

    How? I just get an error about extension being corrupted.

    userChromeJS doesn't work neither.

    I'm sorry, I didn't see this before. Which one of them? all of them? I have them all working in sp52 for a year at least, some much more.  But I may have tweaked a few of them a bit and forgot about it.

    ABOUT:CONFIG stuff

    User.js functionality is broken.

    First batch of odd keys:

    Unlike FF52 and derivatives, network.proxy.socks_remote_dns is set to false by default. I wonder why.

    Unlike FF52 and derivatives, browser.eme.ui.enabled is set to false by default -would this interfere with silberlight?

    The key dom.workers.enabled is missing

    Hi there. Testing it.  It works well in heavy scripted sites (fb, yt and the like), probably better than 360chrome. However, it has all the issues of FF post 52: poor interface, lack of suitable addons, privacy issues, etc.. Therefore, I will keep it for alternative use when sp52 doesn't work.

    Will report on use of user.js, in particular hardware acceleration and e10s, in separate comment

    Noscript last (FF) version works, but I do not like it -what version is recommended? The same applies to ublock: last FF version installs and works well, but the interface is lacking -what version is recommended?

    Greasemonkey last FF version installs, and scripts from usual places do as well. I cannot find, however, where the settings are saved. I would like to have this to have preconfigured scripts if I rebuild the profile.

    The writing has been on the wall for roughly two years that XP isn't going to last "forever".

    That has been said so many times... In any case, maybe access to some websites is lost. But for almost all other day to day business still works, and better, than subsequent versions (excluding perhaps a well modded w7).

    In my imagination, I can see a near future where I connect into a raspberry-pi 4 for both internet connection and x-windowing of a few apps that require something better than xp and are worth the effort (i.e., apps with no suitable replacement in the "They"-wanna-see-deprecated xp).

    I just found out that there is another about:config item related to e10s:

    user_pref("extensions.interposition.enabled, false); // set (true for no e10s)

    and there is also another related extensions.interposition.prefetching

    EDIT: using these tweaks, it seems to me that I can see less v-synch (or whatever is the horizontal-line artifact that every now and then shows up while watching videos. Some old extensions (for example, TB profile switcher 1.77) become less responsive due to lack of shims, but no other significant drawback.

    Cheers!

    [downthemall] used to work like a charm until 3 months ago. Now it consistently generates "server error *".

    @nicolaasjan, @RainyShadow. After a long search, I found the problem with this, as well as difficulties downloading addons from dfferent platforms. The problem was eMatrix 5.0, when tightening too much. I had the following umatrix rule:

    matrix-off: behind-the-scene false

    But since two or three versions ago, it interferes with the above.  The solution, other than changing it to true, is to also add the following 3 rules (I'm not yet sure if the first two are strictly necessary)

    behind-the-scene * css inherit
    behind-the-scene * image inherit
    behind-the-scene * other allow
     

    Hope it helps someone else.

    Note, that this program doesn't allow to move icons, it only preserves the order! Here are recommended programs to move them:

    EDIT: Issue solved after running debug mode, then restarting on run.

    Hi there. I'm trying to try your library. On restart, following the readme instructions, I am able to run and debug the utility, but my set up is not able to create the utility registry entry at [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SysTrayUtil].  Should I create it manually?

    I was getting errors at 100% in the past. Then i configured it to use a temporary folder while downloading and got rid of that. Not sure if it was the same error as yours.

    Yeah. But in my set up I cannot get rid of the server errors at 100% level. I tried changing temp folder, changing the number of fragments and so on, to no avail. Unfortunately, the DTA logs doesn't produce info that I, at least, can use to understand and change what is wrong.

    I will try in a vanilla profile and see what happens. A pity: this addon was part of my daily workflow. Download star is good, but lacks the capability of saving downloaded files to specific folders on demand.

    Cheers and out! :P
