My Browser Builds (Part 5)

[j7n]

Where do I put this in New Moon or Serpent? The official page says it is a Developer Extension for new browsers where YT is fast anyway. Can you comment under videos with this? I'm afraid it will be a constant cat and mouse with updating it.

Add a new user script in Greasemonkey and paste the code. The project was around for few years now it seems. Supposedly basic functionalities requiring login work, though TBH, I'm more of a passive user myself so can't offer any first hand experiences. Comment box is enabled when logged in at least.

This user script just acts as a launcher, the main thing is fetched from their server and it does receive updates every once in a while.

I notice ads in search results, guess standard uBO filters don't cover it. They said it's best to turn off uBO for VORAPIS to avoid conflicts, supposedly there's a setting to turn off ads in the interface, but I don't find it. I don't seem to get any at first glance in videos themselves without uBO though.

Firefox 38.8.0esr ported to VC2010 for older processors and older XP.

Repo: https://github.com/roytam1/firefox38-vc2010

binary: http://o.rthost.win/gpc/files1.rt/firefox-38.18.6-vc10-tls13-20241221.7z

It doesn't run, but I can't test it on older processors and older XP. I mention it, because the older version of 20240606 (firefox-38.8.0-vc10-tls13.7z) is OK.

you may recover from last version and only replace nssckbi.dll from this package.

I replaced nssckbi.dll, but the message remains.

you did the reverse. you can extract all files from firefox-38.8.0-vc10-tls13.7z, and just extract nssckbi.dll from new package.

[schwups]

I've done the reverse - You are right.

For users who open @hotmail/@outlook email via Serpent, tested on Serpent from 2023, about:config > general.useragent.override.live.com:
Mozilla/5.0 (%OS_SLICE% rv:63.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/63.0   - no, can't open login page
Mozilla/5.0 (%OS_SLICE% rv:64.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/64.0   - OK, can open login page via Google, can't open via microsoft.com

In order to avoid this message: "You are trying to login from different device, provide recovery email or phone for code verification", for my 2023
Serpent I decided to use:
general.useragent.override.live.com = Mozilla/5.0 (%OS_SLICE% rv:94.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/94.0
Is this a good UA string to use for stable @hotmail login?
If you think this UA string can be improved, feel free to reply.

Update:
Last time I could only login via support.microsoft.com > Sign in .

latest VC for MIPS is 4.2, which doesn't need minimum requirement for compiling retrozilla.

I'm not familiar with the situation - are they deliberately denying access to the UXP?

By the way - Happy new year to all!
