    What I suggest (bisecting) is basically just an automated version of this. You tell git to start a bisect, give it a good and bad commit (the releases), and just build from there, marking good or bad as you go. You're going to need to read up on git. Since this is Firefox, maybe you need the mercurial to git translator as well, but not sure what your source is. If you get a proper git clone, you can then just git revert (--no-edit) (commit) and fix any conflicts that may arise.

    Yeah, it's a slow process. When I began, it would take me basically a full day to bisect to fix an issue. Part of that was that I was dumb and issues can be a bit finicky, I had to do it twice the first few times. I recommend when bisecting removing the alpha or beta identifier from the version number as that changes how some things work, and can better expose problems.

    What I would do is grab 3.6.28, try to build for 9x, then start fixing issues. Since I suck at coding and debugging, I would bisect to find offending commits and fix or revert them until the browser works. Basically what I did for r3dfox. I would give it a try, but I have many other projects I'd rather do currently.
  4. K4sum1
    I don't like the idea of an alpha fork, you really should try getting 3.6.28 working.
  5. K4sum1
    To get it working on 7 (VxKex), you need to edit prefs.js and set browser.taskbar.lists.legacyBackend to true or just use r3dfox
  6. K4sum1
    Just bisect and revert or undo any offending commits. See if you can get up to 3.6.28.

    Finally looked at this, focus is set to false by default. VPN was still enabled. I'm in the middle of working on an experimental feature, so I can't exactly just go and flip the pref, but I'll try to remember to do so.
  8. K4sum1
    You should probably mention that in the post then.

    For intelppm.sys, wouldn't you need to update checksum for Windows to accept the driver? Or is this a only a post-Vista behavior?

    I meant to reply to this but I guess I forgot. I use HTTP Downloader if I want fast downloads, and with it I can see regressions even past 3 parallel connections.
  11. K4sum1
    What exactly would parallel downloading do?
  12. K4sum1
    Closest thing would be Echelon but that's Firefox 4 and some styles are broken.
  13. K4sum1
    Whenever I get around to making 126.0, I'll set those.

    I haven't looked into it, but it might be better if you want the classic theme or Aero with modifications. I would need to set up my own 10 VMs with classic and Aero to test. If there is any difference it will not be measurable. I was going to do like AVX builds, but I found that made no measurable difference. I considered disabling it by default since privacy stuff recommends it, but I know those systems are always very finicky and I don't want to confuse the average user interacting with them even more so I just left it.
  15. K4sum1
    Yeah, there are no plans for XP/Vista support.
  16. K4sum1
    I did that a bit back, forgot to post back here. Not entirely sure what you mean by that. There is some delay loaded or disabled pre-10 stuff like the share menu or tablet mode for 10. All I did was undo what broke 7. What I did was make Aero work on 7 again, so it should work on r3dfox. It's not something I test, although I don't stray too far from stock. I think the custom settings options would probably break and about menu would be stock, but I guess working well enough. Everything else mentioned should be like stock Firefox. I didn't change too much. https://github.com/Eclipse-Community/r3dfox/tree/release-121

    Which one is generally accepted as being better, Serpent 52/UXP or Serpent 55/Mobius?
  20. K4sum1
    Wow that's nice. I would like to add a portable mode similar to Mypal68 so a shortcut isn't needed, but I guess that works pretty well too.
  21. K4sum1
    Only functional changes would be less telemetry I think. There are a few design differences, but fairly minor. Mostly just Firefox but for Windows 7.
  22. K4sum1
    I'm interested in adding a portable mode, but I would need it pull requested or a direct explanation or commit on how to do it.
  23. K4sum1
    r3dfox is release branch Firefox made to work on Windows Vista, 7, and 8. Also with limited compatibility for XP using One Core API. Main download: https://github.com/Eclipse-Community/r3dfox/releases Alternative download: https://sourceforge.net/projects/r3dfox/files/ If you run into any bugs or issues, please report it on GitHub under the issues tab. I am more likely to get to it and remember to fix it if it's there. If you don't have a GitHub account, here is fine too though.
  24. K4sum1
    Yeah, I only found it because I searched "winvertroll" and wanted to see where I could find it by searching, and landed here. I edited in fixed link. Didn't even know MSFN sent notifications for edits. I need to get around to trying 1.19 or 1.20 with NotSoNew, that might be a better way to get newer versions on XP since it should work stock.

    Latest Firefox (122.0.1 as of posting) for Windows 7 https://github.com/Eclipse-Community/r3dfox/releases
