Once the transmission is over, the material played back later has the correct sound speed. The only thing I'm aware of with Serpent is having to use: media.mediasource.mp4.enabled set to false otherwise the sound is distorted in a way that could be described as slow. In any case, setting this to false fixed the sound problem for me. This is a good description of the problem: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1200048/firefox-in-xubuntu-is-playing-mp2t-ts-webm-video-files-with-a-deep-slow (I don't use Linux) Ben. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And as a bonus, formhistory and passwords are also functioning properly. Agreed, and can relate with you on this. 🙂 Thank you so much roytam1 for your work, and all kudos go to him! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mathwiz Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 I just tried html5test.com for the first time in several months and found it doesn't work any more! It just shows a spinning wheel that never stops. I tried St 55, 52, IceApe, clean profile, and versions as old as May 5 of this year. Nothing worked except 360Chrome. Perhaps they changed something. Maybe I'm not looking at it right but I don't see any JS errors. Wait - I think I see the problem. There's a message: api.whichbrowser.net uses an expired security certificate. Expired on 7/12. But why does 360Chrome work? Surely that certificate is expired on all browsers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moreover, in 360 it can be forced to proceed with unsafe certs with a flag (which they might have done with an XP version, at least). Try to force this one, too. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j7n Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 My bank has an old website that works in these Firefox, and it mostly works in Opera 12. Recently they've began offering a "modern" version as an option in parallel. But it doesn't need to be used. However, they required that I update my personal data such as phone number, address, and expected turnover, or I get booted out if I do not do it. Turns out that interface requires Chromium or maybe Quantum. In New Moon and Serpent it showed a white page. Turns out the only changes needed were a country code for the phone number. I'd be royally screwed if I didn't have Windows NT 6 and Opera (Opium). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely that certificate is expired on all browsers! Was that under Windows XP? 360EE variants have known limitations under that OS to verify certificates, associated with the OS's inability to support ECC (Elliptic Curve Cryptography) and SNI, among other ailments... The v13.x variants (Ch86-based) are known to produce the infamous "red X" icon in their URL bar over many HTTPS connections, and such reports are common inside the 360EE subforums ... The fact they do connect implies that secure negotiation is, in essence, broken under XP (it is silently by-passed ) ... The "cosmetic" annoyance of the "red X" icon is usually suppressed by the " --ignore-certificate-errors" flag, indeed present inside the "360Loader.ini" shipped with the NHTPG "mods"; are you using one of these? 10 hours ago, Dixel said: Moreover, in 360 it can be forced to proceed with unsafe certs with a flag (which they might have done with an XP version, at least).

Dixel Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 Firefox has a nasty bug, where it can't properly process enterprise or self-signed roots. If you encountered them, I advise to add this string to default.ini and then try again, security.enterprise_roots.enabled=true 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
