It was discussed a few pages back: There is a patch for Waterfox Classic, based on FF 56, but between FF 53 (the St 55 fork point) and FF 56, I think Mozilla's Javascript engine was rewritten in the Rust programming language. Before Russia invaded Ukraine, Feodor2 noted that Rust can be made to output XP-compatible C code, so it's doable, I think, but a lot of work, and of course @feodor2 has been unavailable to help with our trivial matters since the invasion....

The fact that Feodor has been able to do as much as he has, given the circumstances, is truly incredible. I admire his dedication and enthusiasm for the projects he's worked on over the years...his 'old' MyPal (29.3.0) is still one of my primary daily-use browsers in XP, and it's been very exciting to see the progress that has been made so far on the newer 68. He's one talented coder, as his 'resurrected' MyPal 68 has proven...it's a shame to look back on that whole fiasco nearly one year later, because the Pale Moon developers had an opportunity to take the highest of high roads by inviting Feodor to work with them and even help them restore official compatibility to benefit XP/Vista users, but instead they fought and alienated him and many others. In a more ideal world, there would have been a mutual respect that could have led to a long-term partnership, maybe even a friendship. I'm genuinely praying for him, his family, and all of his friends...and of course, I'm keeping Roy in my thoughts too as he's in Hong Kong. They both come from places that have been through so much, especially in recent times. To Roy and Feodor: thank you both VERY much for everything you have done. Your efforts have never, ever been in vain. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise, I would state facts I didn't know or remember exactly, and, spoken for me only, I don't do that generally! :-) But good to know that my recall is correct, and works as it should be although I am not really the freshest one, referring to my age, LOL! Cheers, AstroSkipper You're completely right with that, but this wasn't the point. The point was that I just wrote down the facts before you have posted your AFAIK with which you brought some unnecessary uncertainty into discussion. You know what I mean?

It simply means I did no research yet, but I am sure that my recall is correct. And that is not unnecessary, of course. You know what I mean? BTW, I already agreed to your statement, so what are we talking about? In any case, I decide definitely on my own the use of AFAIK. That has to be absolutely clear.

modnar Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 Mighty fine! Everything needed works in the latest build (20220706/9), turns out that problem saving files went away after I compared refreshed prefs.js and my profile's prefs.js and modified (mainly) the browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone to 4.8.5. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to hear, was wondering what you meant by "zeroed settings". I've actually gone through my prefs.js the (very) long way and made sure as there was a lot of invalid prefs along the way with changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soggi Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 @AstroSkipper I'm completely with you with the use of "AFAIK". I just wanted to say that I already mentioned the facts (and I also would use something like "AFAIK", if I wouldn't be sure for 100%), no offensive diction. It is some kind of unnecessary uncertainty for other members/readers who don't know the specifications of those CPUs exactly, whom to trust and so on... kind regards soggi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way to get rid of uncertainty. There is one main principal: Trust is good, control is better! And I follow this rule generally. And that doesn't mean I don't trust you, though, and hopefully, maybe, you trust me either...

XPerceniol Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 (edited) Well .. IMHO (how about that one ... ha) You could rename your prefs.js once you get it right to user.js for a new profile and it will write to prefs.js you can then delete the user file. Otherwise, if you just copy the prefs.js sometimes it spits out invalid prefs. Been there and bought the T-Shirt. 16 hours ago, modnar said: Mighty fine!
