new version is up

I'm hoping for an update to ESR 128.10, as there was a major security patch issued last month.  I think ESR 128.11 was next.  Crossing my fingers

On Win 7, R3dfox is now my preferred replacement for M$ Edge. I had been using the latest Edge version for Win 7 (109), with a UAO to Chrome 125, but that's no longer good enough for some sites (e.g., discover.com).

I did find that Chase.com doesn't like the R3dfox slice in the user agent - or was it the OS slice, revealing Win 7, that it was objecting to? It kept telling me to "upgrade" my browser even though R3dfox is up to version 139! Well, either way, a straight FF 128 on Win 10 user agent satisfies both Chase and Discover, at least for now.

It's ridiculous how bloody finicky some Web sites - particularly financial ones - have become. Security I dig, but way too many folks equate "security" with "only using Chrome, Edge, or Firefox, and a version no older than a few months."

It's probably the r3dfox bit at the end, but idk. Try experimenting with general.useragent.override.chase.com and general.useragent.override.discover.com and I'll add what works best to the next release.

New ESR releases for 128.12 (including a hotfix) ... yay!

Darn!  Seems the new release doesn't support tabs under the address bar (by using Zapp's Photon Theme).  Still works with ESR 128.10.  I wonder if something changed in core Firefox, but there are A LOT of different r3dFox options in Settings now.

 

Edit:  It appears that custom entries in about:config that are used by Zapp's Photon Theme are now ignored by ESR 128.12 rc

You will need to replace instances of "(-moz-bool-pref: " with "-moz-pref(" for the theme to work correctly

That did fix it.

Discover.com works with r3dfox as-is, so no SSUAO needed there. (Edge or Thorium users aren't so lucky; Discover seems to demand a quite recent Chromium engine. Supermium would probably do the trick but I haven't tried it.)

I see several sites with this SSUAO: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64; rv:128.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/128.0

This works with chase.com as well. So I guess it was the r3dfox bit that it didn't like after all. Win 7 doesn't seem to bother it.
