    I'm not finding it. You do not want "internet security", you only want "firewall". This is the closest I'm finding - https://www.afterdawn.com/software/security/firewalls/comodo_personal_firewall.cfm/v2_4_17_183 In-process of installing Vista. Will attempt to install this next.
  2. NotHereToPlayGames
    Can you provide the link of where you obtained Comodo 2.4? Because I am 100% postive that I have ran it in XP and in 7. I kind of find it hard to believe that it will not run in Vista. I'm creating a Vista VM as we speak. Then will install Comodo and screencap if needed.

    Are you tying our hands with an unwritten request that any suggestion we make has to be "modern"? I personally suggest Comodo Firewall 2.4.18.184. What a firewall "does" hasn't changed over the years, one that was "great" 20yrs ago is still great "today" ON OLDER OS'S. No, I would not suggest Comodo Firewall 2.4.18.184 on Win10 or Win11. But would submit that it still holds its own EXTREMELY well. But for XP, Vista, and 7 - H#LL YEAH!

    No! Not really. But I do not today and have never in the past received those types of results. Nobody "searches" for MSFN to visit MSFN if they don't already have it bookmarked. They search for a specific topic and "find" posts here at MSFN. When I do searches for things that SHOULD find MSFN, they DO find MSFN. In the end though, NOBODY CARES ANYMORE, this thread is LITERALLY nothing more than you and me. NOBODY ELSE.

    I kind of have to wonder if that even matters !!! I mean, I didn't become a member here because I *searched for MSFN*. I just did three different searches for things that I would assume MSFN to be a *RESULT* of that search. And MSFN *was indeed* FOUND in that type of search.

    Being a work laptop, you very likely have broken several company rules-of-use on that laptop just by installing software on it that your IT Department did not authorize.

    I use a userscript where all images are TINY but then I mouse-drag-and-stretch if I want to enlarge. You have your issue-fixes, I have mine.

    You're growing more and more impatient / passive-aggressive / whatever-you-wanna-call-it. We weren't expecting you until May 31st

    Reminds me of when mom used to take us to a place called a "video store". For MOVIES. And nobody in their right mind would ever rent a "video game".

    Maybe it is best to say it this way - we have CLEAR EVIDENCE that there *IS* a "Man In The Middle" vulnerability risk. So it boils down to this - do you TRUST that "Man In The Middle"? If so, keep logging in, your email is required. edit: my email hasn't been spammed. BUT... I've also never been hit with the DNS "redirect".
  11. NotHereToPlayGames
    Heck No! FAR FROM !!! We no longer user our USERNAME to log in, we use our EMAIL ADDRESS. So if your DNS has been HACKED, then you all but GIVE the hacker your email address just by continuing to log in. I'm sure there is some sort of "encryption" involved, but you'd have to ask the hackers if that is just as easy to hijack as it is to hijack DNS.

    I no longer use any UXP browser on a regular basis. If I did, I would actually try to run *WITHOUT* this "new" setting. Or run at 1MB. To be honest. But it would require "experimenting". To me, it seems this setting was never actually intended for these "old" engines.

    Official ESR v78.15.0 uses 2MB. So as far as I can tell, this has "always" been 2MB since its inception.
  14. NotHereToPlayGames
    Does not exist in Official ESR v68.12.0
  15. NotHereToPlayGames
    Official Firefox ESR v91.13.0 does use 2MB.
  16. NotHereToPlayGames
    Okay, I won't try too many versions, but I can report that Official Firefox ESR v52.9.0 does not even have this setting (maybe that was to be expected).
  17. NotHereToPlayGames
    Perhaps the HISTORY of this setting needs researched. I can confirm that Firefox v150 uses 2097152 (2MB) *but* Copilot AI searches indicate that Firefox uses a default value of 1MB (ie, 1048576). So... I would research *WHEN* did Firefox increase this to 2MB ??? And, more importantly, if OLDER versions of Firefox did indeed use 1MB, then these forks should stick with that and not increase to Firefox v150's 2MB.

    To me, the tab/URL bar visual deficiencies FAR outweigh the only-open-for-troubleshooting console. (edit: this is not a Member A versus Member B "vote", just an added OPINION, to me, BOTH are correct, *IF* the owner is going to bend, then a real non-dummy is preferred) But there is another route for us "Type A Personalities". Just use a userscript or userstyle to "redirect" to any favicon of your choice, no "Type A" passive-aggressive tactics required of forcing a server owner to bend to our preference. I actually use SEVERAL as opposed to writing formal letters to government agencies asking them to fix their favicon.
  19. NotHereToPlayGames
    Well, whichever we call it, nobody has presented any solutions.
  20. NotHereToPlayGames
    Technically, I would use the word "idle" instead of "freeze". Idle = intentional pause, WILL resume when tab becomes active... Freeze = unintentional hang, will NOT resume when tab becomes active...

    Chromium/Forks will *only* have that option on MOBILE DEVICES such as laptops. It will appear on chrome://settings/performance BETWEEN the Memory and Speed options, but again *only* on mobile devices. Desktop: Laptop:

    We have to draw the line somewhere. I work for an automotive company. We continue to build "spare parts" long after the car that contains those parts is no longer manufactured. ie, those parts now stock the shelves of auto parts stores and distributors and repair shops. There is no Federal Law dictating how long we have to build "spare parts" to cover warranties or just normal wear and tear. It's a "science" of sorts. We would lose NEW CAR customers if we gained a reputation for not having parts for the USED CAR market. But if you (the car owner) tries to buy a part TWENTY YEARS from now, do you really think you can EXPECT to find that part and then "blame" the manufacturer if you cannot? For reference, as an automotive parts manufacturer, we build our "spare parts" for SEVEN YEARS after that part is no longer used in NEW cars (but on a smaller assembly line and a reduced annual rate based on historic warranty and distributor supply chain data). And the Win 10 1809 version being discussed here is EIGHT YEARS OLD.

    I have to disagree. What happens if one of those outdated updates is discovered that while it was "secure" at the time of release, it opens gigantic security flaws in today's infrastructure? Keep the file there and allow anybody and everybody to "sue" because of those security flaws that exist today but did not exist yesteryear? I say that they own the server, they own the file, it is theirs to keep or throw away.

    Good Luck! I'll be monitoring to see if anybody can find a fix! I have hunted in the past and was unsuccessful. Pluto TV doesn't load until the background tab becomes active, Hulu will unpause a paused video if it is in the background, there are others, those are just the two that come to mind. Nothing to do with "discards", very annoying, I was never able to find a fix. In any event, you should provide an example site(s). So at least others can add that to the list of Pluto TV, Hulu, and now your site(s).

    Until I was on MSFN, I literally (and I do mean LITERALLY) **NEVER** visited YouTube. ****NEVER**** I adblock, so I don't even know who advertises on MSFN, but I do know it is TERRIBLE here at MSFN if you do not adblock. Okay, not "terrible", but a nuisance nonetheless. I once witnessed a bra and panty ad here at MSFN while *AT WORK*, thank golly-G no coworkers walked into my office, they would have thought I was on a "smut page". YouTube *should* ADVERTISE here on MSFN, since they seem to OWN every user herein. From "YT downloaders" to "how do I make my 20yr old computer work on YT". But in the couple of years that I "did" (past tense) use YouTube, it warranted 16 out of 53 site-specific userscripts. 1 for Invidious as a YouTube fallback and 15 for YouTube. So let's call it 15 out of 53. ie, just over 28% of all of my userscripts are for YouTube. I probably should just ditch them all, lol, but who knows, I may use YouTube again one of these days. And they did consume a lot of time to get YouTube to "tolerable".
