Releases: Eclipse-Community/r3dfox
Release v129.0-3 for Vista+
Note: If you are upgrading from 127 or earlier, you will want to uninstall any old versions of r3dfox before upgrading to 128+. This will not touch your browser profile or settings. If you do end up with a new profile or no settings, follow these steps. Go to about:profiles, select the previous profile (Usually default-default) as default, and restart the browser.
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.
Changes on top of the previous 129.0-2 build:
DoH settings in preferences work again again because people wanted it to work before Mozilla fixed it.
Inactive window menu bar text is always black.
Haven't tested on XP (OCAPI) nor have I extensively stability tested. If you are using 7 RTM, you need to install the VC++ 2019/2022 redistributable, and copy the appropriate files from the r3dfox-7-RTM-fix.7z to the r3dfox installation directory, and it should work.
Please let me know what bugs or issues you encounter with it.

Release v128.0.3-hotfix for Vista+
Nobody reported that the caption buttons do not work with the menu bar disabled. After making the previous release, I noticed they were missing with the classic theme, but I was too tired to fix and make a new release at the time. So I left it for tomorrow, however I was super busy and nobody reported it so I forgot. Then I get a bug report on Discord about the caption buttons not working in regular mode. How was this not reported immediately after I made the release wtf?

Notable bugs:
I probably fucked something up, don't know anything yet.
Extended JPEG-XL support removed, only basic level. Might fix in release 129 if I try at a time when I seemingly have +5 IQ for no reason.
No Vista support yet.
Changes on top of the previous 128.0.2-2 build:
I guess being 129 idk

Release v128.0.2 for Vista+
So the 32 bit build doesn't want to build. I could probably clobber and it would probably be fine, I'm just too tired to wait the hour that would take, so 64 bit only release for now.

Release v115.13.0esr for Vista+
Edit: For portable mode make a file named pmundprt.mod in r3dfox_esr\browser
The contents of this file does not matter, only that it exists. This file was accidentally not included in the portable release.

Most of the r3dfox customizations options do nothing and I have no idea why. So it's hardcoded to be the default. I'm not sure if I can ever fix this under 115 ESR. I figure it's not really worth bothering as most people would want this for userChrome.css themes anyways.
Changes on top of the previous 115.13.0esr build:
32 bit build passes PGO, and yes it was Rust9x. (I use eRust now)
Discord, Snapchat, and Whatsapp should work stock now.
Site specific useragent overrides are back after being removed in 71. general.useragent.override.(site) works in r3dfox.
More privacy respecting default preferences.
I no longer need to hex edit the output, and yes it was Rust9x.
The code is now release 115.13.0 level.
DisplayConfigWindows was added back. (This mitigated some issue on 10 or something idk)
