This build is based off of the support code from Firefox-for-windows-7, which is less buggy and will allow me to get newer versions out faster and easier than before.

I've spent days making sure the browser matches the previous r3dfox 136 visually to the best of my ability. However it's possible I could've missed something. Even if it's the tiniest nitpick of a visual difference, please tell me.

The portable builds are fully portable, the profile directory is inside the browser folder. It does not touch appdata at all.

Notable bugs:
The 32 bit build is built with --disable-sandbox. With the sandbox enabled under Vista, the browser fails to open multiple processes which breaks the browser. The 64 bit build is fine. Considering Mypal68 globally disables the sandbox, I don't think it's that bad. If this really is a big issue then please pr a fix.

r3dfox specific changes on top of the previous v136.0.4 build:
New Windows 7 support codebase. (This should fix PiP and other issues)
Windows versions now have their own specified themes again.
Modern UI setting has been replaced by Windows version theme override.
Menubar text glow setting has been removed as it no longer erroneously shows on Windows 8 and later.
SendFlushRenderingAsync is now disabled in all cases without DWM for causing rendering errors.
32 bit tooltip fix has been massively simplified.
Fixed ESR color scheme not overriding primary color accent.

Haven't tested on XP (OCAPI) nor have I extensively stability tested.

Please let me know what bugs or issues you encounter with it.

These are the same as the v136.0.4+eRust-1.85.1 and the v128.9.0 releases but with a tooltip fix for the x86 versions

Since the x86 versions are the only ones with issues, this release is x86 only.

Changes ported over from later releases:
View Image is now toggleable in settings (Defaults to Open image in new tab)

Improved theme code from 133+ brought over:
Implemented Windows Modern mode from 133+. (This means old 10 override for modern UI no longer works)
This means menubar text glow occurs on all platforms on non-modern mode, so menubar text glow option added to settings.
Menu arrows show on non-native menu lists now (and native menu lists still show their arrows)
Slight translucency in r3dfox theme brought back. (No idea why I removed it in the first place)
Native controls commits have new name, so they may be reset if you changed them.
Stock 115 ESR style fog implemented behind widget.windows-style.show-fog preference.
Useless Windows8WindowFrameColor.sys.mjs removed. Supposedly did fix an issue many years ago, but does nothing as of 115 and r3dfox and was removed in 133.

Haven't extensively stability tested.
