Eclipse Community

Due to server slowness, downtime, and other issues, guests can no longer search the forum or view user accounts. At some point in the future Eclipse will be moving to a more stable and efficient platform that should result in much better stability and the lifting of these restrictions. There is no timeline for this yet, just want you to know what's happening with all the downtime and I have a plan to fix it.

Since you can add config keys through config.cfg then you don't need to hardcode them anymore.
So the advanced user can delete / edit the ones he wants and it might be easier and faster for you to add / edit / remove some keys ;)
Ok, but then each update will replace config.cfg, unless you manually skip it, in which case you'll miss later changes that come from Librewolf.

Because %OS_SLICE% returns Windows 7 or 8 which is not coherent with any version > 115. This may cause problems, check this:

I've been thinking about removing that code because it adds complexity and requires reverting optimizations done to the browser code all for dynamic runtime OS spoofing. I should just fake 10 for those picky sites.

Because I have an account on some of these sites for years, and I don't want my user agent to appear with the F word in it.

Because I see no reason why I should be forced to use these keys. Actually it's a PITA to have to edit these user agents, one by one, each time a new version of R3dfox is released.
Totally agreed!
I was not familiar with the referenced "keys", but Holy Shit, Batman!
UA's with the F word is SO D@MN **CHILDISH**, thanks for the heads-up that SH!T like that is being hardcoded !!!
lol you should see the GitHub issue lol

Yeah, things like "trans-rights=human-rights". blah blah blah
There's "professional" and there's "childish", most of us know which is which when we see it.

The Notepad++ types of activism is never going to work for r3dfox.
At least I don't think it will, lol, what do I know.
I stopped updating mine BECAUSE of all the activism.
My old one works fine for everything I need it for.

You miss 100% of the shots you don't take.

About this issue report:
https://github.com/Eclipse-Community/r3dfox/issues/243

It happens because browser.settings-redesign.enabled is set to True, which is now the default in Firefox.
