  1. Yes, I updated all post-SP3 updates. But I cannot find uninstall option for it (it is not in the control panel's update list, maybe because I did a disk clean before to reclaim the space of $*** folders in c:\windows ), so I installed it again and restarted. But it still does not appear in the update list. And LibreOffice still does not work

  2. I used to visit a french learning website through local library website:

    https://login.bibliopointeclaire.idm.oclc.org/login?qurl=https://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?authtype=ip&custid=s9228876&groupid=main&site=rosetstone

    But recently it will display error page:

    Secure Connection Failed
    An error occurred during a connection to login.bibliopointeclaire.idm.oclc.org. SSL received a malformed Server Hello handshake message. (Error code: SSL_ERROR_RX_MALFORMED_SERVER_HELLO)

    I searched about:config and it will allow me to add an exception if I switch "security.tls.hello_downgrade_check" to false.

    I wonder if its default is false before but changed in recent versions. Will it bring any security risk?

  3. Thanks @AstroSkipper and @RamonUn, I created a new profile and copied my messy prefs.js over, by split it half and half... I finally pinpointed the culprit is "layout.css.unset-value.enabled" being set to false. I can not remember why and when I set it. Resetting it sovled the blank content display problem of "https://github.com/graemeg/xananews/blob/master/README.txt".

    "Github cannot open" problem is solely caused by palefill 1.28 upgrade; palefill 1.27 works in multi-thread mode. So I keep palefill 1.28 disabled, and would switch to single-thread if it should be needed.

  4. Report: 

    After upgrade Palefill 1.27 to 1.28, Github do not work in multi-threading mode of Serpent52 (2024-02-23). The page shows:

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Content Encoding Error
    The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because it uses an invalid or unsupported form of compression.

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Disabling Palefill could solve it.

    And in any case, Palefill 1.27 or 1.28 or disabled, multi-threading or not, Github show blank page like this one:

    https://github.com/graemeg/xananews/blob/master/README.txt

     

  5. Serpent 52 encountered blank page today with patents.google.com. Since I had visited the site recently, maybe Google changed something. The error console gives:

    Warning: unreachable code after return statement
    Source File: https://www.gstatic.com/patent-search/frontend/patent-search.search_20231215_RC01/scs/compiled_dir/search-app-vulcanized.js
    Line: 21363, Column: 8
    Source Code:
            return $jscomp$generator$context$m1628565157$0.jumpTo(0); 

    Hope it helps debugging.

    How so? Aren't you subscribed to this thread? :dubbio:

    ...

    so I tend to think toggling only that newer, second, one might be preferable

    I previously set subscription to one E-mail per week, and I have been too busy recently to read these e-mails, so I'd rather log in to check replies. I've took your advice and I'll check the notification options. Thank you.

  7. I happen to find I cannot upload my key to ANY key server. The problem is odd that of two gpg branch, 1.4.23 works, but 2.2.27 (the last version on WinXP) do not work:

    1.4.23>gpg -vvv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --search-keys 0x57548DCD
    gpg: using character set `utf-8'
    gpg: searching for "0x57548DCD" from hkp server keyserver.ubuntu.com
    (1)     Werner Koch (gnupg sig) <dd9jn@gnu.org>
              1024 bit DSA key 57548DCD, created: 1998-07-07
    Keys 1-1 of 1 for "0x57548DCD".  Enter number(s), N)ext, or Q)uit > n
    Enter number(s), N)ext, or Q)uit > q
    
    2.2.27>gpg -vvv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --search-keys 0x57548DCD
    gpg: using character set 'utf-8'
    gpg: error searching keyserver: Unknown error
    gpg: keyserver search failed: Unknown error

    And I am always using 2.2.27, because Enigmail demands gnupg 2.0 branch. I recall I had updated my key using v2.2.27 before.

    It gets even odder when I use wireshark and see that gpg2 does not initiate any connection to keyserver.

    security.fileuri.strict_origin_policy

    Thank you. I missed lots of post. Toggling the value does solve the problem. Reading https://kb.mozillazine.org/Security.fileuri.strict_origin_policy makes me think it must be stricter than it claimed, since all files are in the same directory as IPAlab.html.  Apart from this one, I find toggling security.fileuri.unique_origin also has the same effect. What is (or should be) the difference?

    I  installed VLC and it still do not work. Did you test on the downloaded offline page or on the original site? My problem is, the original site works OK, even I do NOT have VLC installed, nor Quicktime, although it claims Quicktime is needed (I wonder how Serpent 52 achieved this); But if I download the site, and open it as "file:///D:/download/IPAlab/IPAlab.html", then nothing happens when clicking the phonetic symbol.

    I also tried using Minibrowser (chromium 87), the same result. Do browsers prevent local web pages from playing audio?

    luweitest, install VLC player and/or VLC plugin.  Set associations for mp3 in about:preferences#applications

    I checked it works

    Check out this extension as well, maybe it will suit you https://addons.mozilla.org/ru/firefox/addon/singlefile-esr-52/

    I haven't tried VLC, but if it works, why setting associations for mp3 in about:preferences#applications to Windows Player does not work, and the original online version works anyway?

    The singlefile addon do not work (mp3 files not downloaded); it is not capable as HTTrack, a true site copier.

    The mp3 play is initiated by a javascipt link: javascript:PlaySound(a,b), which is :

    <SCRIPT language=JavaScript>
    
    <!--
    
    function PlaySound(Sound,fileName)
    
    {
    
    	var p=top.player.document;
    
    	p.write('<html><head></head><body bgcolor="#000000" leftmargin="0" topmargin="0">');
    
    	p.write('<table width="90%" border="0" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0" align="center"><tr><td align="right" valign="middle" width="70%">');
    
    	p.write('<font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2" color="#ffcc00"><b>You are listening to:</b> "',fileName,'".</font>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;');
    
    	p.write('</td><td align="center" valign="middle" width="30%">');
    
    	p.write('<OBJECT CLASSID="clsid:02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B" WIDTH="200"HEIGHT="16" CODEBASE="http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab">');
    
    	p.write('<PARAM name="SRC" VALUE=',Sound,'>');
    
    	p.write('<PARAM name="AUTOPLAY" VALUE="true">');
    
    	p.write('<PARAM name="CONTROLLER" VALUE="true">');
    
    	p.write('<embed src=',Sound,' height="16" width="200" autoplay="true" PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/">');
    
    	p.write('</embed>');
    
    	p.write('</td></tr></table></body></html>');
    
    	p.close();
    
    }
    
    //-->
    
      </SCRIPT>

     

     

  11. I am learning IPA and find a good site: http://web.uvic.ca/ling/data/IPAlab/IPAlab.htm

    The site works in Serpent 52, i.e. clicking a phonetic symbol will play the sound. Then I'd like to have it offline on my PC, so I download the site using HTTrack.  But the downloaded site do not work: it shows "A Quick Time player will launch here to play the sound files." at the bottom. 

    What could be the cause? For downloaded site, the URL becomes "file:///...", which I don't know if it is relevant.
