I downloaded it from a github repo some months ago but just can't remember the original link

In Aris-t2's CustomCSSforFx there's a comment about WIN10 fix for GLASS8 - not supported by Firefox 117+, I wonder if this applies to r3dfox.
I have been using the 125 version for several weeks on Win 7, I also have the CustomCSSforFx
though I have not had time to try any of the code. I have ten laptops here that were given to me
by the US Consulate here in Costa Rico since the US upgraded all their equipment. All 2020 Dells
reformatted and have some Linux distro installed. Anyway I would think r3dfox would use the Win 10 apis
when running Win 10.

There is no real need to use the tray icon to remove an external drive.
Windows does Not use delayed write on external drives by default.
Most drives will flash if their writing data,
if there is no indicator simply wait a few minutes and unplug the drive.

I personally don't think the list owners ever delete anything, only add to them.
What may have been valid when added to the list may not be years later.

When updating filter lists in the legacy extension, you will see many entries in the logger considered invalid filters by uBO. At least, I see them.
Just because their invalid only means they're not used.
It clearly shows in the Filter lists window how many filters are actually used for each list.
If you have a list that shows it's using 0 out of ????? then disable it.

An adblocker is only as good as the lists you use.
I have 47 lists enabled and never see an ad.

I have been reading this and ran the test video using @UCyborg's uBlock Origin 1.16.6b1
on PM latest and didn't see anything not even at the end.

It will work on Win 7.

I am and have been using an extension called "Paywall Pass" for quite some time. It gets me past NYTs blocks and many others.
It's in the CAA.

As I already explained, I try to use as few extensions as possible, as they have a greater impact on memory and tend to cause compatibility problems. If features can be retrofitted by custom buttons, I use them instead of extensions. But I have to admit that I still install far too many extensions, but of course I also use them. As everyone knows by now, I'm also a big fan of extensions.
The About: Menu custom button was created by the well-known developer LouCypher long ago. I just modded it a bit as described in my article.
Extensions:
88 enabled 19 disabled the 19 I only enable when needed.

@AstroSkipper did you fork this button? I have been using one for many years now called "About:about Button"
which does almost the same thing. It's in the CAA. With this one I was able to delete the button from the UI because
it also shows up in the tools menu as a drop down. There are 407 Buttons in the CAA that don't require having
"Custom Buttons" being installed. They install as an *.xpi.

I installed the Server 2008 R2 rollup on my win 7 on Mar 12th.

Hey,I know their great. I have been using Custom Buttons since way back when https://codefisher.org
was created. I basically was trying to get some people here to be interested in forking and supporting
some of the Great addons still in the "Classic Addons Archive" (CAA) that still need a new home and developer.
EDIT:
XUL addons forever. They have the ability to change the browser UI. Web extensions can;t do that.
I for one thought I would never leave Win XP but I was basically forced to go to Win 7 and the experience was Great.

A lot of the best extensions have been forked since Mozilla abandoned XUL extensions. Many on PMs extension list are forked or built new.
Then there's TBs extensions and JustOff's. Even Matt (A$$HOLE) Tobin forked a few. Moonchild for a while changed things for PM to only allow installation of extensions containing PMs GUID. He also reversed that since I and many others know how to edit the "install.rdf" files.
There are many more useful extensions in the "Classic Addons Archive" built by "JustOff" (hope he's still alive) that need coders to take over and update them and to keep them updated. Being 83 YO it can;t be me.
Also I've been using the "custom_buttons-0.0.5.8.9-fixed8-signed" addon since Feb 2020.

I am using a fork of "SQLite Manager 0.8.3.1" which will be supported in the future.
Fork by Moonchild.

Yes I know. I have been using many buttons from CodeFisher for many many years.

I got banned from the PM forums for calling Tobin many bad names.
However after he banned Tobin for good, MC rethought that decision and unbanned me.
And yes the forums there are much calmer. After all the hate Tobin spewed about MSFN I actually joined MSFN

@AstroSkipper, thanks. I was not able to post here using Pale Moon. Using FF to post now
@nicolaasjan notified me of the updated version on the PM forum.
Have re-downloaded and will see what happens.
Sorry but I'm pushing 83-years-old and can't really follow this thread as I should.
Thanks for your hard work on this, I kinda miss @JustOff but he hasn't been heard from since Russia invaded Ukraine.

The driver is the SAS driver for all WD external drives and can be downloaded from WDs website.
Also, if the drive light is not flashing your safe unplugging the drive. Windows doesn't use delayed write on any external drives.

Most forums will need an administrator to delete an account. Just ask.
Also most forums will purge accounts that haven't logged in for a year.

Try License Crawler, it will find ALL keys in the system. Your key should be embedded in the BIOS.
