It doesn't seem like reliance on application.ini is a problem, but the some of the code in "nsINIParser.cpp" (located in xpcom\glue) doesn't work on Windows 9x. I replaced the file with the one in RetroZilla, which allows Firefox to get past the "Couldn't load application.ini" error on Windows 9x, but still doesn't load. Here is the commit: https://github.com/ClassicNick/fx36oldwin/commit/389cadfb85c36d92fd37a1a41f17cab96d3ba1a6

No luck here in old or new versions of NM27, NM28, BNavigator, and MyPal 27.9.4. I don't know how to "prove" that it is Chrome-Only, but I can only perform your cited task in a Chrome-based browser. Sorry, I tried to help you out. "it is what it is"... 1
Dave-H Posted April 23, 2021 Posted April 23, 2021 FWIW Google Drive works fine in current versions of Firefox, so there's no "Chromium only" policy there as far as I can see.

With all due respect, "current" Firefox, as in ex "Firefox Quantum" (v>56), now "Firefox Browser" (latest is v88.0), is but a mere "Chromium" fork itself in so many ways under the hood/bonnet, that only its front-end somehow differentiates it from "proper" Google Chrome ; in what is known as "Google-parity" among Mozilla devs, they have been constantly aping all "Chrome-isms" over the last years to the point I, myself, consider current Firefox as yet another Chromium clone... FWIW, I have been following Firefox's "progression" ("regression", if you ask me ...) quite closely over the last decade or so, having been a Nightly Tester with a Bugzilla account since Firefox v21 ... So, I'm not really taken aback that Google Drive does work "fine in current versions of Firefox" , I'll have to side with @ArcticFoxie on this: Google make sure "their" Services work best/exclusively on Chromium derivatives and current Firefox can be considered as being one of them... Another case in point is the Google-owned Widevine CDM, which currently only works in "Chromium" browsers and current Firefox; in fact, Firefox's implementation of WV is almost identical to the one in Chrome, so much so that when Moonchild tried to backport it to official Basilisk 52/UXP, he failed miserably; that "pure" Chromium code was impossible to adapt to Fx52esr derived UXP, as a result, Basilisk is being shipped with broken WV since August 2019 (!) ; MCP's plan is to remove WV support altogether from that browser ...

Sampei.Nihira Posted April 23, 2021 Posted April 23, 2021 (edited) Pale Moon 29.2.0 will be released on April 29. https://forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.php?f=1&p=213409&sid=1c34a77e96560ee41145acdfe68ff8cc#p213409 In order to avoid some trick of the "diabolic couple" I have modified my extensions, now all installed extensions have the wording: "This add-on directly targets New Moon" Edited April 23, 2021 by Sampei.Nihira 2

So is Firefox 88 actually now a Chromium browser, or is it just aping a Chromium browser? I thought the Mozilla devs were still working with their own engine, not now using Chromium code. if the latter is the case, that's really sad. 1
