BTW, why the "RC" label ?

Well, it isn't very well tested. I'm not sure if there's any deeper bugs that would make it unstable. I make new major versions RC releases, and if it proves to be stable, I remove the label in the next release. Recently I haven't had the time to make a second release and the RC has been pretty stable anyways.

There was a feature in R3dfox 130.0.1 which seems to have vanished from v131.0.3: when searching for some text in a page the current result was highlighted with green color as usual, and the other results on the page were highlighted with pink color and their locations were shown in pink color as well on the scrollbar.
I find this feature very useful but this pink highlight part doesn't work anymore for me. Is it gone or have I missed any setting ?

That should be that Highlight All option on the find bar. It works fine for me.

Yes, that was it! It switched to false for some reason :-|

With version 132.0 RC the tabs are smaller than before but they use the same space on the bar so this is just wasted space:

Version 130:

Version 132:

And the speaker icon of the tabs has been changed, I find it harder to see if it's ON or OFF at first sight.

Tabs should be fixed in 132.0rc-2

Speaker icon I'll look into later when I fix some other bugs

Should I just straight up revert this or bring back the old icon for the r3dfox theme only?

I like the old one because it's not too flashy.
Or make it red when it's muted ;)

Still the same old eRust 1.77.2. Remind me to upload the binaries to GitHub sometime.

I've found a solution here:
https://github.com/Aris-t2/CustomCSSforFx
.tab-icon-overlay[soundplaying] {
  fill: #058B00 !important;/* var(--green-70) */
}
.tab-icon-overlay[muted] {
  fill: #D70022 !important;/* var(--red-60) */
}
.tab-icon-overlay[activemedia-blocked] {
  fill: #FFE900 !important;/* var(--yellow-50) */
}

:root[lwtheme-brighttext]:not([style*='--lwt-header-image']) .tab-icon-overlay[soundplaying] {
  fill: lightgreen !important;
}
:root[lwtheme-brighttext]:not([style*='--lwt-header-image']) .tab-icon-overlay[muted] {
  fill: #ff5a5a !important;
}
:root[lwtheme-brighttext]:not([style*='--lwt-header-image']) .tab-icon-overlay[activemedia-blocked] {
  fill: orange !important;
}

@media (-moz-content-prefers-color-scheme: dark) {
	:root[lwtheme]:not([style*='--lwt-header-image']) .tab-icon-overlay[soundplaying] {
	  fill: lightgreen !important;
	}
	:root[lwtheme]:not([style*='--lwt-header-image']) .tab-icon-overlay[muted] {
	  fill: #ff5a5a !important;
	}
	:root[lwtheme]:not([style*='--lwt-header-image']) .tab-icon-overlay[activemedia-blocked] {
	  fill: orange !important;
	}
}

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.
I've found this CSS code which is making all menus and the context menu with a black background:
https://gist.githubusercontent.com/Guerra24/6d7bc4be8849bb8d6eef3a2a74d68e1f/raw/1bbd31ac576af9ce6e4b07468dd4edff38956928/win10-context-menus.css

Although on my Windows 8.1 it's kind of 'jumping' a bit when I hover the context menu with the mouse :roll:

I've modified the code a bit so the 'jumping' is gone. I share here my userChrome.css file if some people want to try it. After downloading it remove the .txt extension, the file name must be userChrome.css and it's case sensitive.
WARNING! To avoid possible troubles make a backup of your whole profile before using this file. You've been warned.

It's to be used with R3dfox in compact mode, which is the default mode of R3dfox. I haven't tried it with any other browser nor with any other density than compact.
I'm also using both the dark mode and the dark theme, the purpose is to get black background in menus including the context menu.
It's working fine for me in Windows 8.1, I haven't tried with any other OS yet.

There are different sections, read the comments in the file but I also explain them here:
- General vertical line spacing
- Menus with black background
- Colorized audio speaker icon
- Unified extensions container icon removed

Be careful with the last part, make sure to pin all of your extensions to the toolbar before using it. Disable it if you plan to add a new extension or you won't be able to access its icon.
Enjoy and feel free to improve it, then to share your modifications :)

my antivirus bitdefender is having a fieldday deleting this browser thinking its a "trojen malware" and erasing all traces of it from my computer without notice is this detection actually real? or is it just a really big false positive

Really big false positive. I can say, from an InfoSec standpoint, that r3dfox is as safe - if not safer - than stock Firefox.

Says it's clean on VirusTotal (checked all four files). It's just a false positive.

On a unrelated note, there's a typo in the name of the 32-bit installer.

I guess you mean R3dfox 128 ESR because there is no R3dfox 115 ESR AFAIK.
Well, R3dfox 128 ESR is a fork of Firefox 128 ESR but R3dfox can run on Windows Vista and above while Firefox 128 ESR requires at least Windows 10.

Oh yes, I've forgotten this one. But it's quite old now, it's better to use recent versions since they can run on Windows Vista, 7 and 8 and several security flaws have been fixed.

Also maybe not going to make any new r3dfox releases for a while too.
I'm not sure if there will be a r3dfox 134. I wouldn't say r3dfox is dead, just paused for now.
Aw, that's really sad news... :( :wtf: :cry:
At least there is a maybe ;)

My family, friends & myself will definitely be looking forward to future "r3dfox" updates since all of us don't want to install Windows 10 or 11 just to use the newest release of FireFox.

IMO though, there would be numerous more "Likes" if more people knew about this Thread & also the various other Eclipse Member projects ...especially the "Windows 7 v5" release Thread. :D
