Firefox 134.0.1 is out, so maybe it's time for a R3dfox 134.0.1 ? ;)
Please keep this project alive, in two months Mozilla may stop making v115 ESR versions so Windows 7 and 8.1 users will have no other solution for a modern and up to date browser :(
With R3dfox you have the secret of making DASH and HLS videos working fine on Windows 7 and 8.1, you are our only hope :thumbup:

Hey K4Sum1. I had filed a bug on Github, regarding ESR 128.6 no long allowing white caption text, as was switchable in ESR 128.4. I was just wondering if there may be a fix on this, or if you are no longer working on the project.

Thanks. Have a great week.

Maintaining these things is a full time job, it's not for everyone.
Off Topic
Personally, I have no use for r3dfox. I'd like to be able to have Floorp on my computer as alternative browser. While still too close to Firefox in basic operation for my taste, at least it comes with friendlier (IMHO) interface out-of-box. But it doesn't run on my CPU lacking SSE 4.1 instructions and compiling from source, which could probably allow producing binaries without SSE 4.1 optimizations, is impossible with measly 6 GB of RAM.

But I realize my interests are niche even among outsiders, so I just grudgingly fire-up Firefox when Pale Moon fails. So far, I haven't encountered the need to update it beyond 110.

Ok, I've further discussed this in private, and now I'll make a 133.0.3 with some bugfixes and combining some of the commits to make things easier for forward porting.

Good news! Thanks! :thumbup:
Even though I don't quite understand why a 133.0.3 version and not a 135 🤔

133.0.3 is here just to make it more convenient to get it working on 135 next.
