r3dfox, a modern Firefox based web browser for Windows Vista, 7, and 8!

The taskbar bug is back in v141.0.3
https://board.eclipse.cx/viewtopic.php?p=6857#p6857
https://board.eclipse.cx/viewtopic.php?p=6901#p6901

It's working fine in v140.0.4.

Annoyance is still there in v142.0.1

I see. But I thought you were able to fix it after v137.0.2 ?
Working fine in v136.0.4
Not working in v137.0.2
Working fine in v138.0.5.

If it can help, this workaround is still valid:

Please restore back this useful feature.

... The native screenshot tool has been re-enabled by default starting with r3dfox-v142.0.1:

r3dfox specific changes on top of the previous v141.0.3 build:

Re-enabled translations and screenshot browser components.

Thanks

Hello there,

I've started using the last x64 version on Windows 7 part of my retro-gaming rig and it feels great for now, but I did notice a small bugger : the three upper right options (Close, etc.) only appear when I activate the (main) title bar - as shown below. They'll still work, but are invisible...
Sorry for reporting that here, as I'm having issues with my (horribly old) Githhub account. It's been at least a decade since my last connection over there and I'll probably need to open a new one.

By the way, I also get from time to time the impression of slightly lower loading performances when handling the loading of multiple tabs, compared to Firefox 155 ESR. No special testing and I care so little about such delays that I wouldn't call that an issue, but, just by curiosity, is there any potential reason why a retro-gaming rig (with an old I5 680 and 16gb of DDR3) could struggle a tiny bit more with R3dfox ? or why 155 ESR could, maybe, open some websites a tiny bit faster ?

That occurred with older versions of R3dfox but I thought it should be fixed now.
Is it the same if you use another theme ?

Yes, I considered that too, but no dice... Switching between 141.0.3 and 142.0.1 didn't fix anything either. Are there any parameters I could check or experiments I could make to help with your diagnostic ?

[Duke]

That's a problem which occured to some people on Windows 7 in the past but I thought it should be fixed now.
I have no idea about what to do, if you could do anything on your side. So I give it to K4sum1 the developer of R3dfox

[BenjaminK]

Let's do that Mr Nukem ... To Github it is, then.
