I have already fixed it. Only a few entities have to be added and translated.

I didn't succeed in changing the langpack into a working Dutch version.

I changed:

langpack-nl@palemoon.org.xpi\browser\chrome\nl\locale\browser\preferences/advanced.dtd

Now it looks like this, but the Advanced tab is still empty.

Any ideas?

Yes. Your file advanced.dtd is not correct. Starting with line 32, you did something wrong. For example, the following entities from line 32 to line 37 are missing:

<!ENTITY systemDefaults.label            "System Defaults">
<!ENTITY alwaysCheckDefault.label        "Always check to see if &brandShortName; is the default browser on startup"><!--XXX-->
<!ENTITY alwaysCheckDefault.accesskey    "w">
<!ENTITY setDefault.label                "Make &brandShortName; the default browser">
<!ENTITY setDefault.accesskey            "d">
<!ENTITY isDefault.label                 "&brandShortName; is currently your default browser">

You should compare your edited file with the original one (chrome\en-US\locale\browser\preferences\advanced.dtd) in the omni.ja file once again. Keep the same structure and don't mix up lines!

Excuse me, but can somebody help me with my problem. On my post on previous page nobody answered.

I don't have an account there so not sure if an attempt with made up credentials would count.

Maybe you can still access the Hotmail/Outlook account under Windows XP with OE Classic, but I haven't tested this anymore.

<off topic>OE Classic will probably work since I think the login procedure is the same for Hotmail as O365, and it works for O365. I lost access to OE Classic when my old Win 7 work PC's hard drive crashed, and since I was unhappy with OE Classic for reasons I've given elsewhere, I never bothered to try to recover the license.

Actually for testing purpose, I installed OE Classic and set up my Outlook account. All in all, it was quite simple if you know what to do exactly. However, New Moon 28 has problems with the Microsoft Login tab which was called up by OE Classic and unfortunately empty. So, I first had to log into my Outlook account via the web interface in New Moon 28. On the second attempt, my account was offered to connect to OE Classic. Here is a screenshot:



Now, ir simply works. OE Classic can be used for the basic Outlook email service under Windows XP. Here is a screenshot from OE Classic's interface:

@AstroSkipper, I just tried MailNews and I'm getting the same thing:

 

Without making me wade through all the YouTube/Vorapis discussion, was a solution to this broken dialog ever found?

I'm thinking there must be a solution since the dialog comes up correctly when accessing Outlook on Serpent.

yeah I know this problem but unfortunately I don't have a solution of "Security Error: Content at XXX may not load data from YYY"

EDIT: with some hints from https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1697805, disabling private window letting it go further but it gets another problem

OE Classic is an email client which can be registered in the Microsoft account as a secure email app done by the OAuth2 mechanism of this email client. I'm afraid that won't work with Mailnews until Microsoft classifies this app as secure too. The OAuth2 mechanism in Mailnews must add this app to the Microsoft account as a trusted and secure app. Just my thoughts.

Don't know how I missed that.

Working now, I guess:

I believe @roytam1's attempted fix uses the M$ tokens from Thunderbird, so M$ should "think" MailNews is Thunderbird and work accordingly. (@Dave-H uses an OAuth2 proxy that works the same way.) The issues we're having are more complex. It appears you experienced a version of the same problem:

OE Classic uses the default browser for the login, so logging in first via the Web interface works; but with MailNews, that trick doesn't help, because MailNews tries to use its own MailNews window for the login (it is a UXP application, after all) instead of opening the login window in the default Web browser.

At any rate, thanks for confirming that OE Classic works with Hotmail. I figured it would, but I no longer have access to my licensed copy (due to a crashed HDD) and didn't really want to mess with it; as you may remember, I had numerous complaints about it when I tried it over a year ago, but it might be OK for a simple personal Hotmail account.

Just like last time, I have listed your Dutch Language Pack in my Alphabetical list of all posted extensions.

Personally, I hope @roytam1 will be able one day to successfully implement a working OAuth2 mechanism in Mailnews. At the moment, I use the free version of OE Classic only for my basic Hotmail/Outlook account. TBH, I haven't expected that Microsoft/Hotmail/Outlook accounts could really be accessed any longer by an email client under Windows XP since last month.  Now, I am able again to access my personal Microsoft/Hotmail/Outlook account in a very fast way under Windows XP as it has been before with Mailnews instead of getting upset about a terrible web interface.

In the latest versions of New Moon, when playing videos (Youtube, VK), the load on the three-core processor is 99% and I am not the only one with such a video bug.

Well then, please, make account there using 10 minutes mail service. Because that bug is annoying and need to be fixed. But i need somebody to confirm it first. Is it me or everybody have it with New Moon.

Ok, that would be a naughty problem. Latest New Moon can not login in to, gm, xvideos.com

If I were to report every dirty website that doesn't run properly in UXP browsers, this thread would be completely littered.

Apart from that, I consider requests for members to register on such a questionable website to verify login problems to be highly dubious and a no-go.  I think rather important and reputable websites should be considered here.

Just to report here a rather important and reputable website , I checked Microsoft's account login website in the most recent releases of New Moon 28 and Serpent 52. Unfortunately, I got an empty login window in New Moon 28, the same I got in Mailnews. And in Serpent 52, not even the login window could be called up. If calling up the login window from the Outlook website, I was able to login to my email account in New Moon 28.

Hello AstroSkipper,
Here are my screenshots of
outlook.live.com
with NM28 and St52 (latest releases).

Since I don't have an M$ account this is the end of the line.

Obviously St52 does not work with M$ Outlook.

According to Wikipedia (as ranked by Semrush) Xvideos is 11 most popular site in the world and is ahead of such sites like yahoo.com, amazon.com, netflix.com, twitch.tv, microsoft.com. Ooops, turn out your beloved microsoft.com is less important to people.  Also there is nothing "dubious" in it, this is same company that owns Penthouse magazine and many other brands.

Oh well, i guess i will test it with New Moon and Pale Moon on my other computers.
