Compositing Direct3D9 - PM27 layers.prefer-d3d9 true , PM28 - auto, Basilisk 52 - auto, Basilisk 55 layers.prefer-d3d9 true

Latest version of Firefox 54 in which Compositing Direct3D9 works.

@Monroe It stands for Binary OutCast Navigator (browser itself is the Navigator though, as pointed out by roy in the next post, not sure what MailNews exactly is, and Binary Outcast is its creator), it's basically a SeaMonkey fork (made by Matt Tobin as far as I know though I might be wrong), so no, if you're already using Basilisk, then there's really no point in using BOC as well.

Yes you're obviously right, saw what I wrote earlier on Github and copied it without thinking for a second that Navigator doesn't start with a C...

OK ... thanks roytam1 / Tamris for the reply. I will continue using 'basilisk52 for XP' and also PM (NM) 27 and 28 ... I also use the K-Meleon update from roytam1.

Tamris posted - "if you're already using Basilisk, then there's really no point in using BOC as well.

I guess I'm 'good to go' ... thanks again.

Here, on my very old WinXP Laptop, I have had BETTER luck with using RT BorealisXP Browser. But I have also had a usable positive result with the RT NM28XP Browser too. And also with the Basilisk55 (not 52) Browser. The additional comment that I would make about the RT BorXP Browser, is that I am not clear on a source for EXTENSIONS for it. However, with RT BorXP Browser, I was able (see earlier messages here, this thread, from me, thanks to 'VistaLover' user help) to get ENTENSIONS for uBLOCK and uMATRIX installed and working (GORHILL = Author, from his GITHUB site, slightly edited for install) with RT BorXP Browser. So, that seems to give me a decent level of browsing protection (via uMATRIX) overall. So, I do APPRECIATE that RT has decided to have this BorXP Browser available as RT is doing it.

@Sampei.Nihira <-- Saw your message below mine. Again, NO IDEA here on a website that has EXTENSIONS that would install into the RT BorXP Browser. Again, I did get, via slight customizing, the (GORHILL from his GITHUB site), uBLOCK Origin and uMATRIX (both Extensions) to install into RT BorXP Browser. The other aspect of BOREALIS Browser, is that it is that TOBIN person's coding (he authored it). And since some (many?) do not like TOBIN, because of certain actions that he did it to make his coding NOT work well under WinXP, I am not sure that you would see much support in terms of solving any problems related to EXTENSIONS for RT BorXP Browser. And, I respect that some users would feel negatively about TOBIN. I have been using the RT BorXP Browser because my particular old laptop hardware and software seems to 'like it' (the TOBIN coding) pretty well overall.

'Sampei.Nihira' <-- RT (himself) did REPLY to you (message below), so THAT would be GOOD advise!

Hi,

with NM28 I can also install the Seamonkey themes.

With Borealis they do not install.

Even the Pale Moon and Firefox themes do not install.

So which themes can I install?

TH.

@TechnoRelic  TH.:rolleyes:

Basilisk in my PC is slow, and I would be curious to try Borealis but with a minimum of customization.
