AstroSkipper Posted January 26 Posted January 26 (edited) Mypal 68.14.6b - Confirmation popup incorrectly displayed when installing extensions @feodor2 When installing extensions in Mypal 68.14.6b, the last confirmation popup is incorrectly displayed. It doesn't matter whether running the browser in single-process mode or multi-process mode. Here is a screenshot: Here is, for example, a screenshot taken from Mypal 68.14.4b where this confirmation popup is correctly displayed. TBH, this issue is not as important as the previous ones but it is an issue. Or did you make this change consciously? Edited January 26 by AstroSkipper Update of content 5
AstroSkipper Posted January 26 Posted January 26 (edited) @feodor2 And after all the issues I've reported here, here's something positive that I've noticed. Mypal 68.14.6b runs pleasantly fast in single-process mode and seems to use less RAM than before. That is really pleasing. Thanks for that! Edited January 26 by AstroSkipper 5

And since you are the creator of Mypal 68, have kindly restored compatibility with the legacy Custom Buttons extension and have already installed it, I have chosen you as the very first to install my new custom button PMT - Process Mode Toggler, which I created for use in Mypal 68, only if you want, of course. I am really interested in your opinion, which you are welcome to post here or in my thread Mypal 68 in Windows XP - Custom Buttons and Extensions. I'll send you the download link via PM. The use of this custom button is explained in the Button Help which can be accessed by a right-click onto this button.

feodor2 Posted January 31 Posted January 31 The 68.14.7 version is finished. https://codeberg.org/Theodor2/Mypal68/releases 3
AstroSkipper Posted February 1 Posted February 1 (edited) @feodor2 Here is my feedback to your new release Mypal 68.14.7b: On 1/25/2025 at 7:41 PM, AstroSkipper said: @feodor2 First of all, thanks for all your efforts! Especially for restoring the compatibility with the legacy Custom Buttons extension in Mypal 68.14.6b. At the moment, I am testing this new release and found several issues. Mypal 68.14.6b - The loading and scrolling websites issue in multi-process mode Unfortunately, I have to report that loading websites and scrolling them from top to bottom is seriously broken in my fresh installation with a fresh profile (untouched) when running Mypal 68.14.6b in multi-process mode. If scrolling to the top of this MSFN page, for example, leads to a blue window without content. Here is a screenshot: I didn't notice any corresponding errors in the browser console. I have installed the browser versions 68.14.4b, 68.14.5b and, since today, the browser version, 68.14.6b under Windows XP. The website loading and scrolling issue does not occur in version 68.14.4b or in version 68.14.5b. That means the issue started as of your new release 68.14.6b. And the general.smoothScroll preference is of course set to true which is the default value. So, this issue seems to be a more general one in multi-process mode and does not only happen if the general.smoothScroll preference is set to false. P.S.: After some more tests, I noticed that the website loading and scrolling issue doesn't seem to occur in your new release 68.14.6b when running the browser in single-process mode. In this mode, the loading and scrolling of this MSFN website here is very fast and error-free. It therefore appears to be primarily a multi-process mode issue. Maybe, this information is useful for you. At least I do hope so. Cheers, AstroSkipper I can confirm that the loading and scrolling websites issue in multi-process mode doesn't occur anymore.

Of course, the preference image.animation_mode is set to the value normal. When switching to multi-process mode, however, the animation of GIF files works again. So this seems to be an issue that only affects the single-process mode. Look at my Matrix GIF image below! I should still mention that this issue didn't occur in your previous releases. Cheers, AstroSkipper Same applies to the issue that the GIF image animation was broken in single-process mode. This issue doesn't occur anymore, either.

I advise anyone who wants to create a language package for MyPal68.14.6+ in their language to use the solutions contained in the Russian package mentioned in: https://github.com/feodor2/mypal68/issues/203 . Because the range of changes introduced in this package, compared to the original Firefox 68 package, is huge, and earlier "tricks" such as adding only a few code lines, this time they do not work.

genieautravail Posted February 5 Posted February 5 @feodor2 Bug report on Amazon France and Amazon Germany: On this webpage for example : https://www.amazon.fr/TP-Link-TL-SG108-Switch-Gigabit-Boîtier/dp/B01EXDG2MO/ref=sr_1_1 After the webpage is loaded. If you switch from one model to another model of the network switch, you can't switch again to another model and if you scroll the page, most part of the page isn't displayed. The webpage can't be reloaded. I must close the tab to escape the issue. The issue occur on Amazon France and Germany but not on Amazon USA ! All is fine on Amazon USA. I have this issue since a while, all releases 68.14.x are concerned. Regards

The causer of this misery is of course not @feodor2, but the website designers at Amazon, strictly following the rule: The more bloated, the better. However, I personally hope that @feodor2 can fix it one day. Edited February 6 by AstroSkipper Update of content 5
genieautravail Posted February 5 Posted February 5 @AstroSkipper I know that the issue is even worst on Amazon France that on Amazon Germany. So, we are at least two to have this issue. Strangely, all is OK with Amazon USA... Regards 1

Regards Interestingly, your French Amazon site runs better in New Moon 28 than in Mypal 68, i.e. switching between the different models works, albeit rather sluggishly, at least on my old computer.

Norman Posted February 10 Posted February 10 Not working site in the new mypal 68.14.7b: Thank you, Feodor, very much for your efforts to keep XP usable. From testing the new version mypal 68.14.7b, I have found the following two sites not working properly: 1. https://www.aps.org/publications/apsnews This web site shows its content at the beginning, but then the entire web page turns into a blank page. 2. www.citi.com This site continues to load but the page is blank. Hopefully you will be able to fix these issues. Again, thank you very much. Sincerely, Norman

Monroe Posted February 13 Posted February 13 Today on my Win XP notebook I put a backup on to have a clean Win XP setup installed. Some things seemed a little sluggish. I put the newer version of Mypal68 on and copied the Mypal68 profile folder that goes with this version into the \Application Data folder. However, nothing worked. I ended up having to install Mypal68 and redo all my settings and extensions again. I had saved the Mypal68 profile folder earlier to a flashdrive. This is all that needs to be saved ... am I correct or am I missing another step? Just wanted ask if this is what everyone else does? I am wondering why the profile transfer didn't work or maybe it was just a fluke of some sort. Thanks ...
