  1. Actually, I think I need to rollback to an even older version. Like before July 2019 if mem serves me correct.
  2. Not to my knowledge, no. Maybe some HTML5 canvas feature not found in 52.9? These are the plugins I have running: And here's the multimedia section from HTML5test:
  3. I actually just started using Purity. I haven't had an account in years, I only just reopened one for my gf. I was using Social Fixer for Facebook, but then found FB Purity. Hiding the 'People You May Know' from my timeline was enough to sell me Would be rather embarrassing to hit add by mistake. Zuckerbook doesn't make it too obvious when you have active friend requests out too sooo Edit: Actually I take it back, timeline autoplay does actually work for me using this useragent. I'm using Pale Moon 28.13. Tested Waterfox Classic 2020.08.1 too. Perhaps its a restriction of some sort with Ff 52.9?
  4. That's promising. So userscripts could probably be injected to fix the regressions with the new layout. Yeah that's intended behavior for this useragent. I'll try and hold out with this layout til my favorite script Facebook Purity is updated, and hopefully UXP fixes that regression with the reactions.
  5. I'm ambivalent about the new design. I don't think any FB design has been particularly bad, but the new version puts unnecessary strain on non-Chromium browsers (gee who would've guessed?). I'm guessing its WebComponents or some other related shenanigan. In any event I'm guessing that useragent will buy us a few months at least
  6. I can't be certain of this, but I think the old FB version will be accessible a bit longer using a Safari useragent. When using one particular string I don't receive warnings or prompts to switch to the new version. https://www.fbpurity.com/faq.htm Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_10_5) AppleWebKit/603.3.8 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/10.1.2 Safari/603.3.8 New layout seems to play nicely with UXP browsers btw, video playback included. Some ridiculousness with reactions though.
  7. Simpler, lighter client. Can run real-time, but 1.75 and lower predate the service subscription model. The key I purchased years ago is still very much so valid for this client version, and actively receives definitions. I might buy a later copy (renewed yearly) at a later time though if I feel I'm missing features, it's fairly cheap.
  8. For ref, I run 1.65 on Vista and 7. I'm getting definitions updates still, the last just downloaded today.
  9. Ah yes, nearly dismissed his rigid licensing of the theme. It's for this reason his work practically died with ESR52 and no future forks exist on UXP. Waterfox Classic has a dedicated version of the theme. It's rather pretty, but it's somewhat crippled for Aero. The Thunderbird 68 version is also.... well tbf Thunderbird Photon/Quantum is a mess of its own, so I shall not go further My favorite browser theme was the default Strata from Firefox 3. Fortunately Aeromoon is around for my use case. But old DeepDark releases looked amazing too. I shall hunt for a copy. Wayback Machine for AMO is rather hit or miss, but I've had limited success there.
  10. Sorry to deviate from topic, but would you mind sharing where you got that older 52-compliant version of DeepDark? Classic Add-ons Archive doesn't archive themes and I've been at a loss to dig up some old themes prior to the Extensions Pearl Harbor of 2018
  11. Interesting. I always assumed they adopted Blink-based QtWebEngine to supersede QtWebKit, like Falkon did. Is WebKit even maintained outside Linux and macOS anymore? I think the GNOME Browser uses some variant of WebKit.
  12. They very well might, but using later than vmtools 10 is ill-advised. 12 tools do in fact work from my testing, but tread carefully going higher. Just because they're not hardlocked from installing doesn't mean bugs won't be introduced. VMware 15 worked rather awful for me, even running a Vista guest in 10 compatibility mode. Just a heads up in case it's sluggish for you too.
  13. Perhaps I wasn't very clear above, I do apologize. Of course it's a fork, I never meant to infer otherwise. What I meant is that it wasn't based directly on a particular version, as in not a static carbon copy. 52 was the fork-off point. And there have been CSS/js implementations unique to UXP that its fork-point, that being Firefox 52(.6?) lack. globalThis is one that comes to mind. (waterfox classic is similar, albeit less consolidated. its more of a transitional project to tide people over with old extensions) Now of course, they are completely on their own from here on. No more shortcuts and cannibalizing newer Firefox engines with the 24 ESR UI. v29 seems to be touching on more CSS and DOM properties, which is a good development sign. The commits are all public. And yeah. It would appear we've scared the OP off -jk
  14. Ah, I suspected Radeon. Radeon outside Windows 10 and Linux can be a mixed bag, but a friend and I decided Adrenalin 19.12 (with a RX 580) takes more kindly to 7 rn. Care to give that build a try and report back your experience with it?
  15. It can definitely drag a bit compared to other browsers when subjected to script-ridden sites, but not the point of unreasonable. I mean it survives Google Photos and Docs save a stutter or two, so that's a feat in and of itself. I can play 1440p HTML5 streams and actually get away with fewer CPU cycles than Firefoxium. Multithreading improvements are an area for improvement I agree, but not necessarily with multiprocess. (uBlock Classic is ehhhh though, I found it hung the browser often. Their own Adblock Latitude with hardened list subscriptions added manually performs infinitely better) Almost every program excluding Pale Moon. They forked from Firefox for a reason. Their objectives are clear, they have a roadmap, target audience, development looks sound, websites render fairly consistently and accurately. The extensions I like using aren't really feasible through webextensions. Many of these 'extensions' could just as well exist as userscripts. Cracking away at userChrome for skinning is a PITA (and almost certain to be sunsetted later, like all options that get shoved into about:config) I have 20 or so, and all are unique to PM, many based on old FF extensions. Some completely unique, but still designed with that XUL/bootstrap paradigm. Biggest design principle I disagree with is lack of WebRTC. Not having to open Chromium or Firefoxium to make a WebRTC call would be nice. (their forum can be a bit draconian at times. but newcomers on there do often ask some pretty stupid s*** that make even me grit my teeth)
  16. Loosely. 52 was the fork-off point, but it isn't a carbon copy of 52x. It doesn't even have the same GUID. It gets recent javascript and DOM updates too, albeit more slowly. http://www.palemoon.org/unstable/releasenotes.shtml But yeah, there's a lot of shared ancestry.
  17. I think you're mistaken mate. MyPal is an XP-compatible rebuild of Pale Moon 28.x by a forum user, same as RoyTam1's New Moon. It isn't based on any version of Firefox. They forked off from Tyhco/Gecko and created UXP/Goanna quite a few years ago. Its UI and use of XUL is similar in operation to 4-28x era Stratum Firefox though (also you're using the Vista board, which has an ongoing extended kernel project which is bringing some more mainstream browsers to NT 6.0) See: (stickied thread) and
  18. Now I see a conflict of interest. While not entirely without provocation, as there were some instances of licensing/trademark misuse with the MailNews fork-off. Useragent sniffing is very distasteful, and in this case even misleading. I could sort of understand a BinaryOutcast-specific project doing something like this, MT is rather more rigid with rebuilds/redistribution of their projects (which is within rights). But barring access to a Pale Moon affiliated website strikes me as a pretty serious conflict of interest. Especially with the nature of the block. It didn't warn about your OS or user agent. It rather led one to believe there was a connectivity conflict. Even MyPal was reportedly affected, and they do everything by the book. Even created independent branding rather than adopting the generic 'New Moon' brand as requested from M.C. This was, if intentional, the biggest abuse of power I've seen from the project yet. I hope to see a reasonable explanation, because occurrences like this will not go unnoticed and potentially jeopardize the reputation of UXP. UXP during this time of chromification is needed more than ever. But on the other hand. Adopting a unique brand for NM seems in order imo. Serpent is similar in theme to Basillisk without grounds for confusion, I would think. Surely something lunar-themed or nocturnal for RT1's NM can be conjured up too
  19. It could be profile corruption. I'm pretty sure both MyPal and New Moon share the same profile location. They're usually identical, but NM is still based on 28.10 rather than 28.12. So opening NM after running MyPal would be like stepping a version back. Profile data usually fares pretty well moving forward with versions, but less so stepping back. You should always keep profile backups. Start a new profile and see if it still persists.
  20. Pardon me in case its been answered before, but what motherboard are you using? Have you ever tried 4xx?
  21. Hit an issue opening Firefox 78.0 and 78.1. I tried both versions of your kernel32.dll, and didn't modify any x86 files. I had it working fine in a vm (think the files changed since), but on my friend's testbed this is the error I receive: Problem Event Name: APPCRASH Application Name: firefox.exe Application Version: 78.0.0.7481 Application Timestamp: 5ef4dbb9 Fault Module Name: ntdll.dll!RtlQueryPerformanceCounter Fault Module Version: 6.0.6003.20749 Fault Module Timestamp: 5e4026a5 Exception Code: c0000139 Exception Offset: 00000000000b6688 OS Version: 6.0.6003.2.2.0.256.1 Locale ID: 1033 Additional Information 1: fa3e Additional Information 2: ac0507478d1c5bd693cfc4fe3987e900 Additional Information 3: fa3e Additional Information 4: ac0507478d1c5bd693cfc4fe3987e900 Read our privacy statement: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=50163&clcid=0x0409
  22. Just wanted to confirm that moving profile data from \Binary Outcast\Interlink to \OpenSource\MailNews presents no issues here after updating to the latest MailNews client with the rebranded executable. All my accounts were logged in and authenticated, though folders were re-downloaded (imap). Many thanks
  23. Inkscape 1.0 (May build) working here. I grabbed the 7z archive rather than the installer package though, so it just runs from a local folder. No other workarounds necessary. Just runs
