My Browser Builds (Part 5)

[DanR20]

Probably not too many using Java these days but I still have some use for it. Getting an xul.dll crash with the latest Basilisk 55 when attempting to run a java test:

Reverting back to June 28 xul.dll resolves it. The latest java version is SE 8 U451 and can only be run on Win7+.

Speaking of non-conformant, I've encounter issues with CloudFlare CDN that its refuses to deliver the resources (IMG, JS, CSS, and so on...) if I were using New Moon,

but they do it just fine if I were using different browser, but I did not like using those browsers.

So I trying to override the User-Agent but the result were the same, such CDN very likely checking for something else. It took me quite a while to find out that what being checked were Referer.

I didn't knew when it started, but its seem that more-recent browser engine new-default behavior would not send full referrer URL if the requester hosts did not match target hosts.

In the picture below that would "www.manganelo.net" and "img-r1.2xstorage.com".

CloudFlare very likely using that as an excuses to ban services to ""older browsers"" that did not conforms.

Is there any setting in about:config or extension that I could use, so I did not have to open Inspect Elements & View Page Source every time such issues occurred, while I'm waiting for the New Moon updates?

Thanks for that. Typically I get it from here and they're pretty good at staying up to date:
