Releases: Eclipse-Community/r3dfox
Release v135.0.1 for Vista+
I forgot what I was going to do with 134, so I decided to try working on 135 again, and I was able to make it.
I was going to work on a fix for inaccurate menu sizes since 133 before releasing 135, but that has gotten a lot more complicated, and I already made builds, so I'm releasing 135 now.

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 134.0.3-1 build:
Nothing afaik, outside of being a new Firefox version.
Haven't tested on XP (OCAPI) nor have I extensively stability tested.
Please let me know what bugs or issues you encounter with it.
Release v134.0.3-1 for Vista+

ESR v128.7.0-hotfix for Vista+
So apparently I broke the context menu and didn't realize it until after I released 128.7.0. If you used 128.7.0 and your context menu was broken, you may need to go to about:support and Clear startup cache.

Changes ported over from later releases:
I guess I copied over the View image commit to 128, which means this now encounters #253 , I'll figure something out for 128.8.
Selection color on content no longer overridden by r3dfox colors.
White caption text option works again.
Publisher shows up as Eclipse Community instead of Mozilla in Programs and Features.
Haven't extensively stability tested.

ESR v128.6.0 for Vista+
I haven't been feeling it recently, I'm not sure if there will be a r3dfox 134. I figured I would make a new 128 build as it was requested and this is fairly easy to do. I wouldn't say r3dfox is dead, just paused for now.

Changes ported over from v133.0e:
No longer ships with VC++ & UCRT DLLs. If you need these, they're in the VC++_UCRT_DLLs.7z file. Required for use on 7 RTM, Not sure if there are any other platforms that need it due to VC++ and/or UCRT not installing on them.
Default theme now uses backgrounds instead of Aero fog.
Older style now playing icon that doesn't override the favicon.
Native elements in XP (OCAPI) should look more accurate.
Changes on top of the previous v128.4.0-hotfix build:
Tweaked tab background opacity.
Fancy tab hover preview enabled.
beacon.enabled is no longer disabled.
Haven't extensively stability tested.

Experimental Plasmafox v133.0e for Vista+
I said there would be no r3dfox 133, and well, there isn't. This is Plasmafox 133, using the nightly or Plasmafox branding due to having many changes that need to be tested and totally not because I'm a troll or anything. There may be bugs or issues with it, perhaps even previously fixed bugs could crop back up. r3dfox naming will return with 134.
There are also changes to the default theme. No more is Aero fog enabled by default. Instead, the default theme now has translucent backgrounds for elements that could become unreadable on some backgrounds.

Ability to enable modern or Windows 10 UI mode on all platforms in the settings page.
Older style now playing icon that doesn't override the favicon.
Side gloss on the window with Aero themes now shows again.

Redone native theme code from Marble. Marble improved upon the r3dfox code, and so I improved upon the Marble code. I love open source.

ESR v128.4.0-hotfix for Vista+
I have no idea if upgrading from 115 to 128 is broken like it is going from 127 to 128. Maybe follow the same steps as release to be safe idk.
