New build of post-deprecated Serpent/moebius for XP!

I was talking about deterioration of the operating system in general. When files become corrupted it can affect the operation of programs or directly break vital parts such as the boot sector of your disk.

Hello chermany4ever,

Thanks for your answer.

A PC with W2K/HDD/FAT32 (with/without NM28/St52) does not have
the problems you describe.

Has your PC  XP/SSD/NTFS problems (with/without NM28/St52) ?

[XPerceniol]

I just started again using Serpent win32-20240127. Overall I'm quite impressed with this as its been a long time since I've used it. I guess I'm getting back into the 'swing on things' again and appreciating Roys browsers. 

I'm going to spend some time tomorrow as I'll be stuck inside with a snow storm and try to figure out:

"- [gfx] Cherry-pick chromium:1864587 (580e04c8a8)"

And exactly what this means - its good to keep the mind occupied with distractions rather than the alternative worries and ailments.

Thanks again @roytam1 for everything you do to keep XP and Vista in busyness in 2024.

Hello @roytam1! I am running your latest version of New Moon 28 installed from the file palemoon-28.10.7a1.win32-git-20240127-d849524bd-uxp-35252384aa-xpmod.7z. When opening the Browser Console (Ctrl + Shift + J) and closing then, it will open automatically every time you start the browser again. I have tried everything possible, but this stupid Browser Console now has a life of its own. That seems to me to be an issue that wasn't there before. I noticed this issue in my dirty profile but even in a clean profile, the same issue happens. Maybe, you can reproduce and hopefully fix it.

That's funny , for me the problem is different with "Ctrl-shift-J". in the latest New moon 28, it opens the console correctly, then I can close it again, but if I want to open it again it doesn't work, the keyboard shortcut "ctrl-shift-J". and the console function in the drop-down menu has no effect either. In short, I can't open the console twice in the same New moon session.  I don't have the problem reported by "AstroSkipper". with console opening and closing. For other functions in the "web developer" drop-down menu it works normally. There's only "Ctrl-shift-j". which poses a problem.

Hello AstroSkipper,

I can NOT confirm your observations with the latest NM28.

I am running the latest version of New Moon 28 installed from the file:

https://o.rthost.win/palemoon/palemoon-28.10.7a1.win32-git-20240127-d849524bd-uxp-35252384aa-xpmod-sse.7z

When opening the Browser Console (Ctrl + Shift + J) and then closing , it will NOT open automatically every time when starting the browser again.

My browser preferences:
1. When New Moon starts: Show a blank page
2. Clear history when New Moon closes

However:
When changing my browser preferences:
1. When New Moon starts: Show my windows and tabs from the last time
2. Unchecked: Clear history when New Moon closes

Under these conditions I must CONFIRM your observations.

What are your browser preferences ?

Hello IYXOE,
I can confirm your observations for these browser preferences:
1. When New Moon starts: Show a blank page
2. Clear history when New Moon closes

When changing my browser preferences:
1. When New Moon starts: Show my windows and tabs from the last time
2. Unchecked: Clear history when New Moon closes

I can't open the Console twice but the second trial gives me the Library window.

Thanks for your report!  I totally forgot to mention this issue.  Same problem in my installation. Once opened and closed then, the Browser Console can't be opened again. So, I can confirm your observation.
But it is very annoying that the Browser Console opens automatically every time the browser is started as soon as it is called up just once.

Thanks for your report! But you are using the SSE version, and it can't be directly compared to mine. But maybe, I'm the only one who has the problem with the automatic start of the Browser Console. I'm curious what @roytam1 has to say about it. In any case, there is a problem with the Browser Console in the most recent version of New Moon 28 which wasn't there before.
