Sorry to raise another query, but there seems to be an anomaly with italic text in 360Chrome. Look at these two examples of a post I made in a Doctor Who forum. In Firefox 52.9 ESR the text in italics appears correctly, but in 360Chrome it doesn't appear in italics, just at reduced level. Is that expected? Firefox 360Chrome The bit on the left is a bit scrunched up on 360Chrome too.

Could be. I removed the UBO filter, and tried that CSS on my Firefox 52.9, with rather strange results. Single videos still don't appear in the feed, I guess their containers are shrunk down to a single line as happened before. Carousel videos do now appear in the feed, but seem to be very poor quality, like they are now low resolution versions, which is very strange! The other thing I noticed is that although the scroll bars are still there on carousels, as they have been for ages on Firefox 52.9, the little row of blue dots which used to be underneath them to show how many things are in the carousel, are now no nowhere to be seen!

It seems to be fine now. I'm still getting a few sites with insecure connection flags because they contain some resources which are not secure. I guess this is the equivalent of the IE "mixed content" warnings.

OK, I think I've resolved the problem! I found a setting that allows you to select "No Proxy" or "IE Proxy". It was set to "No Proxy". If I set it to "IE Proxy", it uses the system proxy settings, which in my case use ProxHTTPSProxy for https sites. This seems to have fixed it.

It was checked, I've now unchecked it. The one above it is unchecked too. I'm still seeing the first error, but I haven't seen the second one again yet.

Any idea why I'm getting this on quite a few (but not all) https sites? Sometimes I'm also getting some sort of warning message in Russian about security problems. If I check the checkbox and click the link underneath it, the sites then load.

I never use Incognito windows, so that shouldn't be a problem!

Thanks, it does actually seem to remember the English setting over a restart.

OK, I hit F12 immediately after the browser loaded, and the inspector window came up (complete with Chinese tab labels!) No sign of any activity, but you can see from the screen grab the loading animation on the New Tab. It stays there until I load another page, at which point it get overwritten, and subsequent new tabs don't show it.

It's set to open chrome://newtab on startup using the "open a specific page or set of pages" option. If I don't have anything in the home page address field and set it to "open home page" it's exactly the same. I doubt that, it loads pretty fast and works pretty fast, and there's no problem with anything else.

LOL, busted! Yes, "writeable" is correct, which I almost immediately discovered and edited the post. I'm not sure why I thought it was wrong! As regards the editing, when I edit my posts I see this underneath. "Show that the message has been edited" is not checked by default. I thought that was something that came in when the forum software was last updated, but if others aren't seeing it, maybe it's because I'm now a moderator.

I did look at that one, but it doesn't flag up wrongly spelled works while you are typing them anywhere, which is what I'm used to with Firefox. However, I have found one which does do that! It's this one here. It uses an online dictionary rather than one stored on the machine, so it's not as fast as the inbuilt Firefox version, but it's pretty good and does everything I need. Well recommended! Just as an aside, do you know why when I load a new tab when the browser starts, it has a progress animation on the tab as if it's trying to load something? This never goes away. It doesn't appear on subsequent new tabs, just the first one when the browser starts up.

@NotHereToPlayGames Hi again ArcticFoxie. Still getting my head around configuring 360Chrome 13.5. Do you know if there is an English spell checker that will work with it? 360Chrome doesn't seem the have the inbuilt Chrome spell checker that most references refer to. American English will do, although British would be better! I've looked at the available extensions, but none of them do what I want, which is to highlight mis-spellings as I type in website forms. I'm really missing the spell checker in Firefox 52.9 ESR! Thanks, Dave.

I have UBO 1.16.4.30 installed on Firefox 52.9. I did try putting a previously recommended filter into it, but it makes no difference. It's - instagram.com##div.ZyFrc[role=dialog]:style(display: block !important) Is there another one I can try?

I used Presto Opera for years, until they abandoned it, it seemed virtually overnight with absolutely no warning, for the Chromium version. Best browser ever made IMO.

Yes those two video links work in Firefox 52.9 ESR. The problem is not that IG videos have stopped working completely, it's that they have stopped being displayed in the feed. If you click on the comments of an entry in the feed where there is a video missing, when the comments window opens the video plays fine there next to the comments. It doesn't show in the feed though, that's the problem. Sorry, I should have been more specific!

Oh that is a shame, I've been using it on Firefox for years! I've actually just been testing it on Google Chrome 49, to see if it works there, but I'm not having any luck. I'll investigate alternatives, including the one you use. Thanks, Dave.

That's not really a solution, I don't want to remove New Tab Tools, I actually want to use it! Are you saying that it won't work with 360Chrome?

@NotHereToPlayGames Hi ArcticFoxie, I'm trying to use an extension called New Tab Tools with 360Chrome 13.5, as I've always used it with Firefox to give me a new tab page with a "speed dial" of shortcuts on it. The new tab page at the moment appears to be blank, and I can't see how to restore the usual Chrome one. Without that I don't think the extension will be any use. It apparently installed OK, but the settings are greyed out, and although I can apparently add sites to the new tab page, I can't see them. I guess the extension modifies the usual Chrome new tab page, so how do I get that back? Thanks, Dave.

In my experience, Serpent 55 appeared to use Firefox Sync, which really got my hopes up, but it refused to actually connect for me. Serpent 52 uses Pale Moon Sync.

OK, I've tried with Serpent 52, and yes the Instagram videos (and comments view) work there fine! Unfortunately, Facebook still has the problem that you can't post, text entry doesn't work. I would really like to find a Mozilla-based browser that works properly on everything in XP, but so far no joy. If it could still use Firefox Sync to synchronise with my other Firefox browsers that would be the icing on the cake! 360Chrome still seems the best option at the moment I'm afraid.

Thanks, I'll give Serpent 52 a try!

It was actually Serpent 55 I tried it on, but yes, exactly the same problem. I haven't tried New Moon.

Happy New Year to you too! I certainly tried all that with Firefox, but it never made any difference to the Instagram videos problem. It has happened before, and a fix was found, but I haven't been able to identify what needs to be done this time. It's some sort of javascript issue I think, which Firefox 52 ESR (and presumably Serpent which is based on it) cannot cope with. It was Serpent 55 which I tried incidentally. I was impressed with it, but as it didn't fix the Instagram problem I think I will stick with 360Chrome for the moment, it works fine there.

Just an observation about the latest Serpent build, it has the same problem now with Instagram as Firefox 52.9 ESR does. No videos are displayed.
