DanR20 Posted Tuesday at 07:29 PM Posted Tuesday at 07:29 PM 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: https://www.javatester.org/version.html Reverting back to June 28 xul.dll resolves it. The latest java version is SE 8 U451 and can only be run on Win7+.

Joseph_sw Posted yesterday at 02:51 AM Posted yesterday at 02:51 AM 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?

Both computers have WinXP SP2 installed plus the update to SP3, which does NOT include Internet Explorer 8. Because the crash msg was by MS, I installed Internet Explorer 8 IE8-WindowsXP-x86-ENU.exe (8Mar2009). During the installation of IE8 I de-selected "Install Updates". New Moon, release of 26Jul2025, subsequently did NOT crash at www.rt.com anymore. So the release of 26Jul2025 (only of New Moon, not of Serpent) seems to require a component of IE8 which is not contained in IE7. Can you fix this? There are various flavours of WinXP SP3, by installing the complete package or by going the upgrade path, e.g. WinXP SP2 plus the SP3 upgrade. I have preferred the upgrade path because I have no use for IE8, included with the complete package. I will restore the IE7-only version of WinXP SP3 on my computer, so if you fix the issue, I'll be glad to test it on my IE7-only version of WinXP SP3. Edited yesterday at 12:34 PM by Multibooter

What SSUAO in use? In what way does the site NOT work for you? I'm currently using: general.useragent.override.arte.tv;Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; rv:128.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/128.0 and a very old by now NM28 (v28.10.7a1, 32-bit, 2024-09-06) has no issues here, both loading the site AND playing back videos:
