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

[Taiclaw]

Is there a programming forum for FF? Since most FF programmers only use the more modern parts of the internet these days and no longer use things like forums or email...
To communicate with them is a problem for an internet oldy like me...

A new solution:

A portable FF for all Linux Distributions or a portable FF for all existing OS's or a new Version of FF OS like the selfrunning DOSBox Pure Unleashed ! ^^

Your browser is the last hope for a poor man like me... - actual FF ESR 115.29.0 is recognized as too old...

How about spoofing User-Agent?
Go to about:config, add a string-type preference named general.useragent.override with value Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:140.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/140.0. (Replace the number after rv: and Firefox/ to approriate ESR/stable version at the time you do that.)
If you are using r3dfox then you can also spoof only some specific sites by suffixing the domain name after preference name like general.useragent.override.jwx.org

I've tested it! Doesn't work!!!

Can you give us a tutorial , who you create r3dfox?

If it were up to me, I would just want r3dFox to be stock Firefox ESR 140.x, with the ability to run it on Windows 7 and Windows 8. That's it. No Anti-DRM or Wildevine either, since I want to be able to watch streaming news channels. But I'll live with that.

Not really possible, read this, specifically the "Widevine or DRM protected content does not play" section. https://github.com/Eclipse-Community/r3dfox/issues/35

I think that's kinda just a generic Linux binary. They're pretty portable although Linux isn't made to run raw binaries like that.

I don't think I can just give a tutorial on that, it's pretty complex. I'd just start by taking a given commit, looking at the title and comments around it, and seeing if you can figure out what code changes in the commit do what specifically.

Are you making similar Librewolf changes to the new ESR versions? (I almost hope not ...lol, but it is your browser)

Thanks!


But:

Enhanced Tracking Protection defaults to strict now. Other options are removed to match Librewolf behavior.

Please don't do that. Keep the custom settings on.
Please please please

They will come in next release. I don't see any real negative to them though. Can you like give me a reason to not do it?

But why? I don't see any reason you shouldn't just use strict mode. Unless you can give me an example of a website that breaks in strict mode.

Only if it causes problems with customization, or mass changes. I stick with ESR, so that UI customizations or other usrChrome.css changes last for a whole year. I like stability

I don't think it should cause any problems, just making sure people know in an abundance of caution.

Because:

I want to use my own cookies setting: cookies from unvisited websites. IMO all cross-site cookies is too strong for some sites so you have to add the site to the exceptions which disable the whole ETP for this site. Very bad.

I want to be able to select the windows it applies to: all windows or only in private windows. So I can instantly switch between a normal or a private window if needed.

I want to be able to disable suspected fingerprinters on the fly. I've noticed some parts of some sites won't load or even custom fonts won't load it it's enabled. Again adding the site to the exceptions is not a viable solution to me.

Ok, that's fair. I'll make the settings visible next release.

I use Custom too....

I just add AutoConfig code to disable JavaScript completely and to delete cookies on every startups I was surprised to find that the main website to submit homework and reports of my college still works just enough for me to send in a couple PDF files
