So that's not "modern"
No offense, thanks for your work, you are almost our only hope for a Firefox based browser on Windows 7 and 8 in the future.

And why is it better than the classic command line ?

I'm not leaving behind users of 8.x, it's the same as Firefox 115 on 8 Well, if I want to use Firefox 115 ESR on Windows 8 I can do it. And in fact I am also doing it. But the idea behind R3dfox is to use a modern version of Firefox on Windows 7 & 8. I quote from the project page: Eclipse r3dfo...

Well, the default dark theme is doing that with Firefox and LibreWolf but not with R3dfox anymore. The latest version which can have the black title bar is version 122.
I understand the improvements for Windows 7 users but Windows 8-8.1 should not be left behind.

Could probably do it, I'll give it a shot for next release.

Thanks!

Two videos that are showing the problem I'm talking about I don't know what has been done, but the video playback problem seems to be solved with latest build of LibreWolf 125.0.2-1 by Adeii :thumbup: I still got some error messages in about:support but it doesn't appear to be a problem for now: (#...

Well done with JPEG XL, it's now working fine and also on this HDR JXL page as well: https://people.csail.mit.edu/ericchan/hdr/hdr-jxl.php I also like the fog effect on the title bar, I find it really classy :thumbup: However, and since you are able to tweak the title bar, as a Windows 8.1 user if o...

I've just noticed the DRM WidevineCDM option is missing in R3dfox 125.0.2-2: LibreWolf: DRM-LibreWolf.png R3dfox: DRM-R3dfox125.png And these keys are missing in about:config : media.gmp-widevinecdm.enabled media.gmp-widevinecdm.visible After adding them the option is still not showing in the Genera...

the translate popup option is still missing For now I'm not able to find any difference in the about:config settings between LibreWolf, which is showing the translate popup option, and R3dfox which is not showing it. The browser.translations.automaticallyPopup key exists and works fine in both brow...

ability to set two different search engines

Solved by setting browser.search.separatePrivateDefault.ui.enabled to True

Thanks for the menus!

However, the translate popup option is still missing:



And also the ability to set two different search engines:

Quick and dirty workaround, enable widget.non-native-theme.enabled

Perfect! Thanks for the tip
But why dirty since it's enabled by default in R3dfox 122 and also in Firefox 115.10 ESR and 125.0.1 ?

I've just tested v125.0rc2 with a new profile. it doesn't fix the unreadable drop down menus and missing translate option issues I've reported in this post: https://board.eclipse.cx/viewtopic.php?p=4831#p4831 :| Same with RC3 :cry: The dark mode is unusuable until the menus color is fixed, please d...

Yes, but I kept getting a nondescript "HTTP error" trying to upload the image, and I'm not sure how to begin diagnosing that.

Happened to me too but only when the PNG image file was too large. Looks like it breaks when trying to upload more than about 1MB.

I get this from both versions https://files.catbox.moe/5sw706.png I can't see the image :cry: Even though I can open catbox.moe it won't let me open files.catbox.moe because of a potential security problem :? Do you know you can attach images directly to the posts and then place and inline insert ?...

why would it be inconsistent in the stuff I do tweak? I don't know what is going on but I have the feeling some things don't work in a VM the same as on a "normal" system. Sometimes it takes several long minutes before the file I've just downloaded is finally released by the system. Very ...

Some system tools which are still runnning on XP, not really widgets but at least they run: HWiNFO: https://www.hwinfo.com/about-software/ They claim the 32-bit portable version is still XP compatible: https://www.hwinfo.com/download/ Also available on SourceForge: https://sourceforge.net/projects/h...

Executable files (.exe) are being accessed by a SYSTEM process that nothing can identify for a short period after being seen in explorer. So if I open a directory and try to delete the .exe, it fails for a little bit saying the file is in use. If I download an executable file to my desktop or any w...

In the past I've used Kerio Firewall on XP, the best firewall I've ever had. Nowadays I'm afraid it will be quite hard to find something that is still running on XP :? Port 53 is for DNS and port 67 for DHCP, so yes they must have access to the network. List of TCP and UDP ports: https://en.wikipedi...

I've just tested v125.0rc2 with a new profile. I'm not sure what is this icon fix about: "This release fixes the listbox dropdown icon having no background." but for sure it doesn't fix the unreadable drop down menus and missing translate option issues I've reported in this post: https://b...

Some buttons also look strange compared to official Firefox:

R3dfox 124.0.3 and LibreWolf 124.0.1-1 by Adeii:

Firefox 115.9.1 ESR and 124.0.1 and R3dfox 122.0.1:

Not a big problem though, just FYI.

So I've tried https://github.com/adeii/supermium-portable/releases/download/F1235/librewolf-portable-win32-124.0.1.7z uploaded 1 hour ago as I'm typing this. But Librewolf.exe modification date is 25 march, the only files which have been updated are lgpllibs.dll (06 APR) and xul.dll (11 APR). Result...

Remove telemetry is a good idea, of course. But don't lock Enhanced Tracking Protection or cookies like LibreWolf does. Keep in mind people will use R3dfox as a modern Firefox replacement on Windows 7 & 8, so IMHO it must behaves as close as Firefox will do. Whilst LibreWolf is really dedicated ...

IMHO R3dfox and LibreWolf are two different approaches, that's why I'm using both. R3dfox is just like Firefox to me, it works and behaves the same, whilst LibreWolf has specific security settings and some of its options are locked to enforce privacy. So the simplest and fastest thing to do would be...

I have the feeling it's the same issue, or a very similar one since it's the same error messages, that's why I'm asking to apply the fix to LibreWolf as well

Does the non hotfix release have the same problem? Yes, that's the problem I was talking about here: https://board.eclipse.cx/viewtopic.php?p=4617#p4617 and there: https://board.eclipse.cx/viewtopic.php?p=4619#p4619 I still have these error messages in about:support of LibreWolf 124.0.1-1 and some ...

Yeah I need to get around to fixing those menus, but I'm not entirely sure what they are.

Maybe a hint about the white menus: the background of the right click context menu is also white.
With dark theme and dark mode it should be black, or at least very dark, just like it was in version 122.
