The design is meant to be similar to how the caption bar worked on 115 ESR. The title bar is forced black stock because it's forced black or white on 10+. 8.x was the caption bar color with 115. That's what I'm going for. |

So that's not "modern" No offense, thanks for your work, you are almost our only hope for a Firefox based browser on Windows 7 and 8 in the future. |

Hi, what .mozconfig file contents do you use to build r3dfox? |

I've just installed version 126 and I'm not sure to like the very narrow scrollbar, maybe I just need to get used to it. And the new about:config is somehow strange, to me it's making things visually harder than before when I want to compare settings between browsers. But thanks for the fast update, well done |

You can easily undo the change by changing these back in about:config. https://github.com/Eclipse-Community/r3dfox/commit/b99317de24238ed57c1beef5f3e176cadf8d4137 Yeah, I should probably make it an option, and the above an option too. |

So new release (likely 126.0.1 when it releases) will have about:confignew. I wasn't able to make the scrollbar stuff an option. |

Post subject: | r3dfox, modern Firefox for Windows 7! |
Perfect! Not a problem for me, I can deal with the config key values. But I'll try to get used to it for now and I'll see if it's a problem or not over time with practice. |

I took another look at it, and I was able to make the scrollbar stuff an option woo |

Pushed 126.0-2 which has the changes! |

And now I know what was my problem with the scrollbar, it was not the width but the missing arrows at the top and the bottom of the scrollbar. But now with the new options the arrows are back even with the tiny scrollbar so everything is good for me |

For me it's the other way round, about:config is the new one and about:confignew the classic default one |

Do you happen to use 7 without DWM? If so, I wonder if my menu fixes also fixed that. I must have messed that up, guess I'll correct in next release. |

Post subject: | r3dfox, modern Firefox for Windows 7! |
Oh, I didn't mess it up. about:config is technically new, however it's the classic version that has been around for ages and was replaced somewhere in 7x/8x. about:confignew is the new version that replaced it somewhere in 7x/8x. |

Nope, I'm on Windows 8.1 stock. OK I misunderstood it, I expected confignew to be your new implementation. BTW, there are some options missing in Privacy & Security: While there are present in LibreWolf and Firefox ESR: Firefox Relay email, Windows single sign-on and Save and fill adresses. Not that I'm using them but I wonder if it's done on purpose or not. |

Post subject: | r3dfox, modern Firefox for Windows 7! |
I think Firefox Relay is removed or disabled since it relies on an external service, but I think Librewolf should disable it too idk. Something about removing it sounds familiar idk. Windows single sign on and authentication are likely restricted in Javascript as they likely only work on 10+. My commits add back the restrictions so broken options aren't displayed. |

I don't know if this's the place to report bugs or not, but, I can't seem to use the Picture-in-Picture feature, it works fine with Firefox (mainly tested it on YT), but I can't seem to find, or use it in r3d, I REALLY hope that it's just a bug, and not an intentional move... if anyone knows anything, please hit me up! |

How do you build r3dfox browser? I did everything as in Firefox and building only completes when no custom mozconfig is specified. If I build with mozconfig you provided, then the following error appears:

That sounds like it's trying to skip straight to PGO which is odd. Maybe try clobbering? If that fails, maybe just comment out PGO. |

Got this when I tried clobbering:
The error that I wrote earlier about still appears tho. |

Ok, i've commented-out lines about PGO, btw will this affect performance? And now it goes past that error, but there is a new one:

do you use rust9x? |
Author: | TSNH [ 14 Jun 2024, 21:30 ] |
Post subject: | r3dfox, modern Firefox for Windows 7! |
No I don't. WOW, I didn't know such a thing existed and it looks really cool. I'll check with that when I have time. Is there anywhere a list of dependencies that need to be installed to build r3dfox? |
Author: | K4sum1 [ 15 Jun 2024, 02:32 ] |
Post subject: | r3dfox, modern Firefox for Windows 7! |
I need to make a how to build guide. I think you just link the latest rust9x release as a toolchain then do rustup override rust9x in the root of the r3dfox directory. Then it should work. |
Author: | TSNH [ 15 Jun 2024, 09:06 ] |
Post subject: | r3dfox, modern Firefox for Windows 7! |
Still the same issue unfortunately I unpacked rust9x to C:\Users\myusername\rust9x and run:

If you ran ./mach bootstrap from stock 127, it should just work. I don't think I did anything special in that regard. |
Author: | K4sum1 [ 15 Jun 2024, 09:35 ] |
Post subject: | r3dfox, modern Firefox for Windows 7! |
Also you might need to remove ac_add_options --enable-bootstrap from the mozconfig. |

Ok, thanks that did the trick, it goes past that error, but now there is a problem with Rust again
