addonStartup.json.lz4 i deleted it and restart twice, my addons all restored, not sure about others, then to edit the file

@feodor2 Thanks for pointing to the file addonStartup.json.lz4!  That was definitely the culprit. Inside this file, there were leftovers from the removed search engines Bing, Wikipedia and stp (Startpage). Apparently, my profile wasn't as fresh as I initially thought.  In any case, I removed these obsolete entries by editing this file manually, and now the error messages have gone. I prefer the way of manual editing method as it gives me full control about what to be or not to be removed. Thanks again!

@feodor2 Just to give you a little feedback. Your modified code snippets for disabling the signature verification are working great. I edited my config.js file and have been using this modified file starting from the day you posted the changes here and since then, no warnings happened again. I even created unsigned theme files and could install them without any warnings or problems, too. Thus, I was able to revive my black cat theme which was originally an animated theme and could no longer process the animated png file inside the xpi file. I changed some code inside it, and now it can animate the black cat again as it once was, and all that without any warnings about signature verification.  In any case, I am able to modify extensions and themes to my needs in Mypal 68 from now on as has long been possible in the legacy UXP browsers.  Many thanks again for that!

Hmmm...  Maybe we should share configurations...  Have you tested this extensively in XP?  When I 'test" -- I mean to say I'm using it as my daily driver...  I have one private window for Youtube logged on to my account, and the normal window for ordinary browsing...  I did get WebGL2 working, per your instructions by disabling Angle, and I also have multiprocess mode enabled...  I think it is when Youtube is playing a video in that second window and when I am browsing in the normal window that it is triggered...  How do you recommend I generate a crash report?  I am not really adept at that kind of thing.  Thx

Forgot to reply...while it's not a daily driver, I did use it for several prolonged sessions on XP x64, also made it consume most of my then 4 GB of RAM (I'm on 6 GB now ). I doubt my profile is anything special, but I did have to setup a specific compatibility shim to prevent crashes, which I'm not sure is still needed with current versions. I wrote about it many posts ago, nobody commented on it back then if I recall correctly...what a surprise, no one ever knows anything about my issues I post on MSFN...I'm always one-man army tackling them.

I don't remember ever needing to generate crash dumps on XP, I'd have to learn it from scratch as well. We have it quite straightforward these days on current systems.

I know that feeling well. People like to ask questions here, but getting answers to own problems are much more difficult and rather rare. In your case, I'm not really surprised. You solve most problems yourself, leaving only the cases that require specialised knowledge. And these can only be answered by those who have specialised knowledge and skills. And there are only a few members like that in this forum. Most problems I have are usually solved by myself. I tend to present solutions and answer questions here on MSFN. But I am always particularly pleased when e.g. @feodor2 as developer of Mypal 68 supports us here with problems such as @roytam1 and others do in the legacy browser thread.

I recall there was something about Mypal 68 and executing Web Assembly code...ud2 instruction was encountered and that threw crash dialog. There are legitimate uses of that instruction and a crash dialog (or kernel panic if you're in Linux kernel) are not expected (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7268352/linux-kernel-module-to-check-memory-integrity/7268558#7268558). And another one could happen when forcing OpenGL compositing, which AFAIK Mozilla never intended to be used on Windows in the first place, but works in some browsers with glitches. Not exactly performant either, but with it, you can have video in a web browser without screen tearing, which I find to be an unusual phenomenon on Windows XP. I did notice at the later point D3D9 compositing works as well as with the old Firefox versions and roytam1's forks, just needs to be turned on manually in about:config.

If you include layers.prefer-opengl in Mypal, V-sync will work. Test https://www.testufo.com/stutter#demo=smooth

Hi guys,has anyone done any testing against trackers + fingerprint?

 

https://coveryourtracks.eff.org/

I have not (yet) but am wondering myself about the canvas situation (I miss poisondata and wish the developer would incorporate something similar) and whether or not that is still traceable once the browser is closed ... as Mypal68 is my main/default browser now. Will give your link a try and see if I can pull up anything.

Thanks

Somehow this place, https://www.researchgate.net is broken: cloudfare verification stops it, here and in roytam1's build, where I'm replicating this post in case there are different options (I will blank out the one that doesnt' correspond, and accept @Dave-H o r other moderator ruling about it. Basically, if I have the exact download pdf/doc address, no problem. If I have to go through the interface, cloudfare (surprise, surprise) complicates things the way it does. I tried different suaos, and using firefox 115.0 almost does it in vanilla, but not quite. Thanks.

Ugh ... Sorry I've been using:

user_pref("general.oscpu.override", "Windows NT 10.0");
user_pref("general.useragent.override", "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win32; x86; rv:119.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/119.0");

Would that be of any help?

Firefox and MyPal catch d3d9.dll file

but there is a conflict with hardware acceleration if it is enabled

Does this look right to you, grey_rat? and I have hardware acceleration disabled on my old Dell 745. Thanks as you've always been helpful to me and I appreciate that.

Unfortunately no. It's something with my settings. Thanks!

The only solution for the canvas would be to incorporate some form of a fake canvas generator (changes with every launch), like they did it in the Ungoofed Chrome.

@Sampei.Nihira ... just an endless loop with Mypal68 and I've had this going round-and-round for almost 15 minutes and no results come up for me ?

Dom storage is enabled but I have the cache set to:

user_pref("browser.cache.disk.amount_written", 0);
user_pref("browser.cache.disk.capacity", 153600);
user_pref("browser.cache.disk.enable", false);
user_pref("browser.cache.disk.filesystem_reported", 1);
user_pref("browser.cache.disk.smart_size.first_run", false);
user_pref("browser.cache.disk.telemetry_report_ID", "");
user_pref("browser.cache.offline.capacity", 0);
user_pref("browser.cache.offline.enable", false);

Could that be the cause for not getting results?

Again, thank you for your attention.

I'm having the same problem here too.

Hopefully we'll get an answer from Sampei.Nihira when he sees this as perhaps he's very busy, but glad you chimed in my good buddy and good to know its not just me regarding cover your tracks, but, honestly, I not all that worried about it very much but am still curious as to why we aren't able to get past the endless loop.

EDIT: please wait ... ArcticFoxie/NotHereToPlayGames -- 360Chrome v13.5.1030 Redux seems to give results and I'll post as follows - it took a little while but I did get expected results. Sigh But, of course, this thread is about Mypal not 360 Chrome so this was a bit off-topic.

Your Results

Your browser fingerprint appears to be unique among the 191,856 tested in the past 45 days.

Currently, we estimate that your browser has a fingerprint that conveys at least 17.55 bits of identifying information.

The measurements we used to obtain this result are listed below. You can read more about our methodology, statistical results, and some defenses against fingerprinting here.

Detailed Results

Here’s some more granular information we gathered about your browser. Your report includes examples of several different kinds of metrics:

WEB HEADERS

Whenever you connect to a website (in our case, “https://coveryourtracks.eff.org”), your device sends a request that includes HTTP headers. These headers contain information like your device’s timezone, language, privacy settings, and cookies. Web headers are transmitted by your browser with every site visit.

JAVASCRIPT-DERIVED CHARACTERISTICS

Some details about your browser can be discovered by using JavaScript code. This includes fonts, certain details about your hardware configuration, and your canvas fingerprint.
