hi #SeaMonkey, can anyone check if OverbiteFF is working in your suite? I can't seem to load any Gopher page here. Thanks

It needs a mini update. njsg should know.

Ah found it chatzilla/75c8c75015bc5afdf7930a834f599fe1c04f6eca

ah cool, thanks

I do not run it but these you need to remove the second and third parameter from the init.

unfortunately I doubt floodgap is ever going to update OverbiteFF for this, but fortunately I've been planning to fork this extension anyway

Just search for it. Different file. The patch patch was for cZ.

if it still not runs probably nsIPrefBranch2 or nsIPrefBranchInternel needs to be changes to nsIPrefBranch.

Bug 1374847 was backported

thanks, the pump.init change worked! :D

If you fork it and have a working version up on github or gitlab we can change the reference to it in SeaMonkey.

mimasama: I don't think I've ever asked, did you hear from Cameron about this? Just wondering if he has commented on this issue.

it's possible he's happy to update it with a version that works for both arities but just doesn't know about the issue

I think I wrote the line number somewhere, now was it on IRC or on USENET? Well, if you already got it working, no need for it, but let me check...

I don't know if Cameron has heard about it (I don't have his contact), but it seems that according to the official page of the extension, OverbiteFF is no longer supported: gopher.floodgap.com/overbite/d?ff38

so pretty unlikely he will update it

line 1255 components/protocol.js news://news.neodome.net/udhd96$ngl$1⊙dm

I did the if check for both cases

(maybe the ircbot code needs a change so that it does not mangle news: addresses... I keep forgetting to percent-encode the @)

The Twit-- X™ embeddable widget now causes extreme slowdowns too

no, it has been causing slowdowns for weeks

but I thought it was more of a host site issue

but nope, it happens with several sites

too bad Redirector can't catch those ones

yes, the fact The Social Network Formerly Known As Twitter remains relevant among the population still confuses the hell out of me

but now I'm this close of just blocking Twitter domains on my routerbox DNS

"TL;DR: If you want to play with a shiny new Matrix 2.0 client, head over to Element X."

why not rename the whole thing as Element then? It seems it's the only client that matters anyway

I would be interested in knowing about such a fork. It's a shame that Mozilla dropped tiny little gopher, and ftp, and added Web blobs and direct access to the GPU and tons of other massive actual vulnerabilities.

because that's what webdevs love, they call it "Pushing Things Forward™" because OMG SHINY!

they don't care about security, or even compatibility, they care about padding their resumes

The only reason I keep LibreWolf around even is because Chromium's extensions model already sabotages privacy extensions and they've promised to bring the hammer down some more.

If Mozilla follows them on that one I'm gone like Enron. I keep everything backed up into Brave for Contingency.

you know Brave is Chrome, right?

we should not be supporting the new IE

no, not even as a fallback

For Fedora Linux, 2.53.17.1 (with libwebp security fixes) goes onto CentOS-7 and the generic build only. All the others Fedoras and CentOS-8 use system libwebp, which is already updated by the ordinary distribution way, so no need for the extra update there.

The same is probably true for the other distros (if SM-2.53.17 was built with the distro's system libwebp).

buc has two other sec fixes and one for Windows.

Debian/Ubuntu tossed SeaMonkey a long time ago so anything that builds off of those probably tosses it too.

No system libs for you!

I definitely recall Ubuntu complaining that "SeaMonkey isn't up to date with security fixes anyway." Like, just turn off active content. It's so much more pleasant anyway.

Redundant image formats give us MOAR codec hell.

As if WebP wasn't bad enough, 9to5linux is now using both WebP and AVIF on the same site, and SeaMonkey is not the only browser I have that can't render the AVIF junk.

There should be a law that 1992 JPEG is the only thing allowed on the Web. No, an international treaty, modeled after the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban.

The "use system libs" has been a endless point of contention between upstream and downstream developers

there are good points from both sides

so reaching a compromise is tough, especially from projects as big and complex as modern web browsers

there are very good reasons to enable building with system libs, but there are also strong points in favor of vendored-in dependencies
