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 ... IMHO, a very simple and clean way is to unpack the new Mypal 68 archive file to a new folder, open the browser from there and create a new profile with the same name of your old profile to be imported by using Mypal 68's profile manager. Then, close the browser. Now, delete all files of your just created profile folder and copy the old ones from your backup into it. Now, start the browser again with this new profile. Done! At the moment, I have 10 different Mypal 68 programme folders and many, many profiles, only for the purpose of developing and testing, of course. No problems here.

Monroe Posted February 14 Posted February 14 Thanks AS for the detailed explanation of the steps in setting up a new profile that you use. I will do the same ... it sounds like the way to go after reading your post. ... 1

Karla Sleutel Posted February 17 Posted February 17 I've recently discovered, this browser runs without sandbox! Is it true!?!!? 2
feodor2 Posted February 17 Posted February 17 Yes the browser may be ran without sandbox, same as any other stuff.
AstroSkipper Posted February 19 Posted February 19 (edited) @feodor2 When creating UC.JS scripts, I noticed that some Vanilla JavaScript commands behave differently in single-process mode compared to multi-process mode. When starting the browser, loading new tabs or windows, accessing elements via document.getElementById() and especially via document.querySelector() needs much more time in multi-process mode than in single-process mode. Is there any explanation for this? Is this by default or rather a Mypal 68 specific behaviour? When, for example, starting the browser with the about:addons page, it takes nearly 8 seconds after DOM is loaded to be able to access an element in multi-process mode via document.querySelector() . In single-process mode, it can be accessed directly. This is very strange and does not make the multi-process mode particularly attractive. Edited February 20 by AstroSkipper Update of content 4

Remember not to rely on xul things, I begin to remove them, xul addons page has gone already. Edited February 20 by feodor2 1

I have 2 questions: 1) What the situation with ClouFlare on MyPal68 ? 2) Is there language packs for Ukrainian language (or maybe russian), also i do prefer Ukrainian. Because my relatives don't like English interface. 1

Keeping single-process mode is really a good idea and very important for those running Windows XP on old, weak computers. Actually, this mode works much better in Mypal 68.14.7b than in the previous releases.

I've already mentally and emotionally prepared myself for the next compatibility breakages you'll soon be unleashing. I am really curious to see what will no longer work in the next version as it did in Mypal 68.14.5b. In the meantime, I have written a whole series of UC.JS scripts to be on the safe side if a lot of my older stuff do not work anymore. Hope the Custom Buttons extension will still work in your next Mypal 68 release as it should actually be able to run in newer Firefox versions up to at least 136 as well. And if it works there, it should also be possible in newer Mypal 68 versions with a much lower JavaScript level. Edited February 21 by AstroSkipper Update of content 5
genieautravail Posted February 21 Posted February 21 @feodor2 Cloudflare checks can't be passed in Mypal 68.14.7b. Regards
feodor2 Posted February 21 Posted February 21 Cauldronshitare keep adjusting its checks, though stopped to freeze, shall look later. By one month or may be two I plan move javascript to 92 level and finish new version. @Rod Steel I do not provide languages myself, somebody make their languages by themselves, details on github https://github.com/Feodor2/Mypal68/issues/203 russian is present.

And what if it runs on Nvidia driver? It doesn't work, even in this case? I'm just trying to figure out why no sandbox, the reason, as it's considered to be a serious security flaw. 2
feodor2 Posted February 21 Posted February 21 What exactly does not work with Nvidia and how this is related to the sanbox? What is it about the sandbox thing at all? Any usual program may be ran with or without sandbox as I know, It is users choice what to do.
