PM28 doesn't show the increased percentage when clicking control + mouse scroll

Actually, this is normal; you should realise that while the UXP platform was forked from a Firefox ESR 52.6.0 platform snapshot, the application Pale Moon 28 itself (built on the UXP platform) does not implement the Australis GUI, much like its previous major version 27.

The feature you describe was added on top of the Australis interface (Fx >=29.0) by Mozilla developers and should be there in both Firefox ESR 52.9.0 / Basilisk 52 (Serpent 52.9.0), as long as you do not move the "Zoom Controls" button (- +) to a browser toolbar; this native browser feature was not present in the pre-Australis (Fx <=28.0) Firefox GUI that PM uses...

fix it please.

There's nothing to fix here, as explained above; BTW, you should not expect @roytam1 to implement major new features in New Moon 28 (his fork) that are not yet present upstream, i.e. in original Pale Moon 28 source (master branch); the way I see it (and please someone correct me if I am wrong), Roy's main focus is/should be creating and testing patches to Pale Moon that will enable it to run on Windows XP + Vista, both OSs that the official app has dropped support for; main browser code is still the task for Moonchild Productions; if you do find a bug inside Roy's patches (that enable XP+Vista support), by all means report it here, but GUI improvements + implementation of new features should not, IMHO, be a thing for Roy... ;)

In any case, if you want the requested functionality in New Moon 28 (currently at version 28.2.0a1), you can install an extension which offers pretty much the same thing, Zoom Page v15.7 (it creates a button that can be placed inside any toolbar, but, sadly, not inside the URLbar):

more bugs  :}

I think it's universally accepted there's no software that is bug-free; however, your bug reporting skills are very flimsy in this case; please read Information to include when asking for support ; providing just a screengrab without further info (e.g. the URL details of the page where this occurs) so other people here can test and try to reproduce results in pure sensationalism, with slim chances of a resolution of your issue...

Please understand I have nothing personal against you :), my advice above was simply offered so us members here can help each other in a more productive manner... ;)

Regards

+1. Let's let Roy concentrate solely on that, which is of paramount importance to both XP and Vista communities. :yes:

nope, the SRWLock changes are needed to be undone as well.

... this link is now "404 - Not Found" :huh::dubbio:; whatever happened to it? ... And is this UXP patch file applicable to both browser applications, i.e. New Moon 28 and Serpent 52.9.0 ?

As far as I am aware, FFmpeg 4.x.x branch is still Windows Vista compatible, so perhaps you could, in theory, include the ffvpx 4.x.x code and "ifdef" it for winver >=6.0 (for us using UXP browsers on Vista), else fallback to ffvpx 3.4.x for winver < 6.0; but, IMHO, eventually you should start experimenting with patching the 4.x.x code, to gain for all (XP+Vista) the performance and security improvements merged in the 4.x.x branch by the FFmpeg devs... :rolleyes:

Thanks for your on-going stupendous efforts! :wub:

NewMoon it's really worth of use. Lighter than firefox.

Is there any way to get this externsion working? The browser extensions for FF (53+/48+) can't be installed neither in the "save as" mode.

Hi :); unfortunately, both the current Firefox (53+) full browser extension (at version 3.2.32) and the limited Old Firefox (48+) browser extension (at version 1.0.6) are of the WebExtension type, a format that Pale Moon (hence New Moon) does not support by choice/design :no:; OTOH, Serpent 52.9.0 comes with a limited set of WebExtension APIs, so you might want to check your luck there ;) 

I was successful in installing the full extension on both Serpent 52.9.0/55.0.0,

but since I don't have the app installed (nor a MyJDownloader account), I can't test the extension is fully functional! ;)

Hope I've helped... :P

Hi.

There is no need for webextensions.

Dedicated extensions can be installed:

https://addons.palemoon.org/extensions/

Legacy extensions for Firefox (usually older versions).

Other extensions (the best is HTTPS Always) for supported browsers:

I compiled myself an ffmpeg version targeting XP 32-bit and also XP x64 last weekend. Built on CygWin, removing bcrypt/schannel and avssource stuff (because I don't have that on CygWin), and replacing the crypto functions with OpenSSL. I can confirm that this works without any Windows API modifications; No Extended XP or anything on my machines, it's all regular Microsoft stuff:

ffmpeg 4.0.2 64-bit on XP x64
