Hi again. There is this ery robust but outdated spoofer that, besides spoofing, allows you to see the status of a number of about:config settings, and of course the possibility of changing their values through a convoluted but very convenient interface (much like configuration mania does). I use both mostly for that. Now, I do not spoof with this addon (I use the "real" profile) because its browser definitions are pre-52. But as a consequence, the setting "real" profile sticks: the "real" profile can be detected though configuration mania and cannot be changed, which defeaats the purpose of the general, so to speak, general.useragent.override. So my real specs can be known, and heavily scripted sites know I'm flying through their scripts, whiche they don't like. But I insist: i like my privacy. The addon is based in https://github.com/dillbyrne/random-agent-spoofer. And for what I understand, the browser definitions are in https://github.com/dillbyrne/random-agent-spoofer/blob/master/data/json/useragents.json, for example: { "description":"Chrome 52.0.2743.75 (Win 7 32)", "useragent":"Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/52.0.2743.75 Safari/537.36", "appname":"Netscape", "appversion":"5.0 (Windows NT 6.1) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/52.0.2743.75 Safari/537.36", "platform":"Win32", "vendor":"Google Inc.", "vendorsub":"", "buildID":"", "oscpu":"", "accept_encoding":"gzip,deflate,sdch", "accept_default":"text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,image/webp,*/*;q=0.8", "accept_lang":{"en-US":"en-US,en;q=0.8"}, "pixeldepth":"24", "colordepth":"24", "screens":"800x600,1024x600,1024x768,1152x864,1280x720,1280x768,1280x800,1280x960,1280x1024,1360x768,1366x768,1440x900,1400x1050,1600x900,1600x1200,1680x1050,1920x1080,1920x1200,2048x1152,2560x1440,2560x1600", "profileID":"W1" }, Would any of you know how to update those entries? Thank you very much!

Well, after too much tweaking and finally rebuilding the profiles from scratch, the issues were two: 1) umatrix settings (for FB and also YT and derivatives) should NOT Spoof HTTP referrer string of third-party requests. See pic. 2) previously, through various hacks I was able to convince FB to accept fake referrers (including not referrer at all), but not anymore. Using configurationmania, see pic below, I need now to send the full url and referrer header for cross origin requests (I do NOT use noscript for the social media profile) BUT with strict origin. see pic2 Hope it may help someone else.

On tweaked sp52, facebook does not show videos. Console tells: Cross-Origin Request Blocked: The Same Origin Policy disallows reading the remote resource at https://video.xx.fbcdn.net/v/XXXXXXX[long sequnce] (Reason: CORS header ‘Access-Control-Allow-Origin’ does not match ‘https://www.facebook.com’) Has anyone seen something like this? Again, this happens in a much tweaked sp52. It works in vanilla. Thanks. PS: for a second, disabling ublock seems to solve the problem, but for only one video/shot. Then it gets f...ed up again.

Hi there. It used to work like a charm until 3 months ago. Now it consistently generates "server error *". Anyone has seen and solved this?

Try greasemonkey-3.30-pm_forkBranch.

Hi there. I managed to set it up, as instructed, in SP52. Due to some of the settings below (which one I have to remember/figure out), though, I have to allow visited sites one by one (see attached pics). I will keep testing over the week and report back. Also note that -more likely due to current restrictions in my set up and their interaction with proxomitron, it is not possible for me to -for example- reply in this forum. These are of course things that I thing can be solved with tweaking. With chrome, I was not able to make it work. I will keep trying, but it may be due to restrictions in my systems. Thanks! The settings that may be causing the issue reported in the first two pics are: user_pref("security.nocertdb", true); // add user_pref("breakpad.reportURL", "127.0.0.1"); // set user_pref("browser.ssl_override_behavior", 1); // set user_pref("browser.xul.error_pages.enabled, true); // default user_pref("browser.xul.error_pages.expert_bad_cert", true); // set user_pref("security.block_script_with_wrong_mime", true); // default user_pref("security.OCSP.enabled", 0); // set user_pref("security.OCSP.require", false); // default verify (options) user_pref("security.ssl.enable_ocsp_stapling", true); // default user_pref("security.ssl.treat_unsafe_negotiation_as_broken", true); // set user_pref("security.cert_pinning.enforcement_level", 1); // default user_pref("security.mixed_content.block_active_content", true); // default user_pref("security.mixed_content.block_display_content", true); // set user_pref("security.mixed_content.send_hsts_priming", true); // default user_pref("security.pki.sha1_enforcement_level", 3); // default user_pref("security.ssl.errorReporting.url", "127.0.0.1"); //add user_pref("security.ssl.require_safe_negotiation", true); // set user_pref("security.tls.version.fallback-limit", 3); // default user_pref("security.tls.version.min", 3); // set user_pref("security.ssl.disable_session_identifiers", true); // add user_pref("security.nocertdb", true); // add user_pref("breakpad.reportURL", "127.0.0.1"); // set user_pref("browser.ssl_override_behavior", 1); // set user_pref("security.ssl.treat_unsafe_negotiation_as_broken", true); // set user_pref("security.cert_pinning.enforcement_level", 1); // default user_pref("security.mixed_content.block_active_content", true); // default user_pref("security.mixed_content.block_display_content", true); // set user_pref("security.mixed_content.send_hsts_priming", true); // default user_pref("security.pki.sha1_enforcement_level", 3); // default user_pref("security.ssl.errorReporting.url", "127.0.0.1"); //add user_pref("security.ssl.require_safe_negotiation", true); // set user_pref("security.tls.version.fallback-limit", 3); // default user_pref("security.tls.version.min", 3); // set user_pref("security.ssl.disable_session_identifiers", true); // add

This actually seems to increase the level of blockage: http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=1542805 - 2 (the default) is the minimum. As you, I have this blocklist thing disabled, but just in case...

Yeah, go ping your momma! What about extensions.blocklist.pingCountTotal and extensions.blocklist.pingCountVersion?

I have always been overwhelmed by both the promise of proxomitron, and the difficulty of making it work: I always gave up. SO I'm following this discussion with much interest.

Just wondering: Is there a procedure to export mailnews generated email accounts into icedove? In case somebody knows...

Not really, sorry.

Interesting. I thought it had to do with tweaks I had made, but it seems to me you are right: Logitech wireless keyboard also fails to enter input into FB in SP52 (mouse is ok).

Hmm. What is that? Mind to expand?

Hi @user57, the last official version for XP allows select and copy text. This last version of yours doesn't seem to allow it. Any idea why? Thanks! SOLVED: in the text file (SumatraPDF-settings.txt) that pops up from menu-->settings-->advanced options, change from false to true EbookUI [ UseFixedPageUI = true ] ChmUI [ UseFixedPageUI = true ]

Courtesy of Hangar0, https://www.portablefreeware.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=24715&p=102101#p102101, this build of mplayer works well in XP. Other than the dvd menu (which is f***ed up), it works with smplayer - just copy onto the mplayer folder of smplayer 21.1.0 (the last version that seems to work in XP. On a related manner. Can someone with the due expertise test this version of ffmpeg (https://sourceforge.net/projects/mplayer-win32/files/FFmpeg/git-N-104423-g682bafdb12/), compared to that of https://rwijnsma.home.xs4all.nl/files/ffmpeg/?C=M&O=D?

I consider Comodo bloatware, and am not sure of how safe it is, in terms of privacy. I prefer simpler things like kerio and privatefirewall. I disable the MS firewall.

Not sure if it could help you but you may want to give it a try: https://www.paehl.de/checkdisk

Well, I remember using w2 (with those old external sort-of-disks), w3 in the early 1990, w5 and then w98-me. I almost decided to stick to wme. But XP was so much better... I pondered moving into w7, but I saw very few advantages and many drawbacks. I never considered moving into w8 and all subsequent spyware.

I read somewhere here (can't find it) that it is possible to get rid of the "restore" popup... How do you do that? It is annoying to have to close a useless (for me) popup. Thanks!

As per all this font fingerprinting (ahem) stuff... Almost a joke, nowadays, particularly in a Chinese derivative of a google product. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WIX_6EVf7pI

Hi there. I've been testing 13.5 I've noticed that connecting to two services that use dx (say youtube and a movie provider such as most movie sites -ok.ru for example) end in error, even if run in different browsers. My system being tweaked beyond recognition may be it.

There was a second sentence that I decided to delete, if you must know.

Ha ha, @VistaLover, the damn thing kept working anyway, and lookin' good. No blame, the I'ching says :P

Ha ha ha
