... YES, we know already! :angry: Please stop repeating yourself ad nauseam... :( As I wrote in my post:

What is it exactly you don't understand? I think the saying "A picture is worth a thousand words" should have applied here... If you're not at all familiar with the browser's Developer Tools section, then educate yourself; basically, for the purposes of URL sniffin (detecting background URLs for media and other content), you really only need WebConsole (CTRL+SHIFT+K):

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools/Web_Console

... and, on occasion, Network Monitor (CTRL+SHIFT+Q):

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools/Network_Monitor

Load  https://winfuture.de/UpdatePack in a New Moon 27 tab; in that same tab, open WebConsole, filter for ".mp4" (without the quotes) and then reload the page, followed by clicking the play button in the embedded web player; the link to the video itself should appear (https://videos.winfuture.de/16838.mp4)

Right clink the link; you can copy the link (and use whatever download manager/extension already installed to fetch it to disk) OR you can opt to open it in a new New Moon 27 tab; if you have set up the browser correctly (LAV filters provided by roytam1 for SSE-only processors), it should start to auto-play; right-click the video and an option is there to save/download it!

(<Personal rant>: I acknowledge most people here offering guidance/help do so on a voluntary basis, out of the goodness of heart, sacrificing valuable personal spare time... I'm no different :P; but what really aggravates me is the lack of willingness on the help-receiving parties to do some of the "homework" themselves, learning things along the way; it appears that most people expect to be spoon-fed like a one year old toddler, this attitude never promotes one's own knowledge :( </Personal rant>)

You dont need to tell me what we have to learn. we have here a lot of low-level(compared to the software-pros here)-people who need advice and have other more serious tasks than software-learning.
You should better have setup a STICKY like i have done after endless amounts of hours grabbing through this informations. THE WINXP-WORLD would thank you.
so i executed what had been said about the LAV-files(will correct in my statement about simply running LAV-filters-exe).
Could run everything except dont know how to filter .mp4. Thanks

Major cuck up by Mozilla disabling addons because of invalid certificates.

Ok putting my tinfoil hat on (why not, it feels good) maybe it wasn't an accident but intentional. I'm reading that older pre-quantum release versions are affected as well, e.g firefox 56.0. Could it be a scammy attempt by Mozilla to force those users to newer versions? There are ways around it, which would require editing omni.ja, but most users probably wouldn't know or take the time to go through the trouble.

Not sure about this but would not it be just a matter of replacing the cert file in the profile with the updated one?

Another possibility is self-sabotage. As we all know, Mozilla has been infected with Google moles for some time and with the recent uptick in firefox market share all of a sudden this hits. Then we see post after post throughout the internet about how "this is the last straw, I'm leaving firefox for chrome."

/end tinfoil rant.

Thankfully, basilisk isn't affected nor is 52esr since xpinstall.signatures.required is set to false. Keep up the good work guys.

I uninstalled Firefox 52 ESR.

 

52esr is kept around here as a portable as needed, which these days is almost never.

A few insiders at Mozilla believe that several Firefox screw-ups were intentional:

I want to thank NM28 developers for great job.

There are several questions:

1) It is possible to remove from the menu of the Bookmark somehow the Panel of Bookmarks and Not Hemmed folders of a bookmark or at least to make them invisible?

2) Whether there is some expansion with a proxy for the browser?

In Russia the main Rutrecker.org torrent tracker is blocked by the authorities and to it there is no access. The application for Firefox by the New Moon browser is not supported.

No doubt that's true but Mozilla also hired Google insiders to do the same thing.

It's going to be interesting to watch Google sabotage Microsoft's chrome edge, you know they will, or at least try. The war is on.

Here we go with Browser Wars 3.0!

I came of age just as Netscape vs. Microsoft was wrapping up, and MS, of course, won that war.

Then Firefox vs. Microsoft (aka Browser Wars 2.0). Firefox won!

Now Google vs. everyone else! Google is employing the same sorts of tactics (and worse) that MS was trying back in the 90s, and sadly, it seems it's working in their favor, much as it did MS back then (the only difference is that they got sued for it; nobody wants to try suing Google now-- they're too big!)

When will they ever learn?

Too big? That is good reason to go after Google. Give them the AT&T treatment for trying to monopolize the web.

I guess the open sourcing of Chromium gives them a leg to stand on this time, though I'm still uncomfortable with their grasp in other places like search engines and video hosting.

This is a discussion for another thread, but I wonder how long it will be before Bing and Yahoo! become facades for Google Search?

Just look at its market share:

That graph speaks volumes!

I'm often dismayed by how poorly all the other search engines work compared to Google, which I'd prefer not to use. However, the sad fact is that it's virtually impossible to not use, and I'm beginning to understand why that is: Google either owns, or plays a part in maintaining, virtually all the services and technologies the modern WWW operates on (about the only thing they don't have direct control over are the back hauls and fiber optic lines that make everything work; AT&T and Verizon own most of that in the US, apparently).

Most of the rest (in the US, anyway) is owned and/or operated by Amazon or Facebook :no::thumbdown:puke:

And even if none of this were true, it might as well be, given how Google treats its competition (in terms of browsers, Firefox has probably been the only significant competitor for awhile now, and it seems to be losing).

Same here and back then IE5.5 - IE6 was actually pretty good in comparison. But then Firefox came along offering many more options and the ability to personally customize the browser with addons so they won. Apparently it's all lost on them.
