interesting. never heard of a site (browser ?) throwing a "Secure Connection Failed" message

when a UA change "fixes" it, forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.php?f=61&t=31734

but sure enough, it is so

& i see we are up to 123, Firefox/128.0 SeaMonkey/2.53.20

s/3/8/

therube: I could do it with nginx

Preferences -> Advanced -> HTTP -> Identify as Firefox also works (but who would want to do that!)

i'll note that at, dnschecker.org/user-agent-info.php

The FF/SeaMonkey setting changes what they call "Browser:"

With it being "Firefox 128.0" vs. "Mozilla 128" (& without the .0 - should that matter in any way)

therube: anyone who has been paying attention for the past decade would set their UA pref to cosplay as firefox for webcompat

this is far from a new and radical concept

anyone who uses SeaMonkey keeps the dual setting - because we're SeaMonkey ;-)

One tidbit toward SSUAO is enable and improve the update service for it and do a pref ui for it

therube: well SM's settings are slightly different from what was all done in UXP not that I always agreed with HOW that was changed..

actually, the ".0" does seem to be pertinent.

if i take the FF UA

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64; rv:128.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/128.0

& override it so that Firefox/128.0 becomes Firefox/128, so:

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64; rv:128.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/128

then the site again fails

.9 normally defacto means UXP

precident is a bitch

so be careful with point nines

so maybe that .0 should be there

some scripting may assume UXP in rare instances

the same logic that often parses rv also parses client slices

so it will expect at least one decimal place

I know my UA logic always did

therube: why UA sniffing is being used when everything is JS and JS can feature detect

but as we saw with clownflare even if they use feature detection they will just deny anyway or allow it to break in any event

video, demo.mp4, does not *display* (at least on my end) in SeaMonkey or FF115, github.com/AminBhst/brisk

but i can use FlashGot in SeaMonkey & download it, where it plays just fine... can i drag & drop... ?

no.

therube: WORKSFORME in seamonkey

but I am on linux

I HATE how the modern skinned media bar looks

maybe cause, Format profile: High⊙6 (& i'm on Win7)

that should be reverted back to the old controls imo

You are just using the wrong OS

therube: why are you on Windows 7 and not something else?

Win7 works, works as I need, does what I want it to do, no more, no less, has a UI/UX that works for me.

& it's what I have ;-). my (brief) looks at Win10 have me pulling my hair out how to do simple things that i've done for years & no longer know how to do.

my lightly NTLite'd LTSC 2019 functionally with a few tidbits is effectively a non-aero windows 7 UI except for crap they moved to PC Settings.

and a few XP app incompatibilities

therube: its kinda funny cause when I have to do something that changed oddly in Windows 10 I normally have to default to the absolute oldest method.. command line registry or launching something from memory

floppies, arstechnica.com/gadgets/2024/10/212…n-francisco-trains-off-floppy-disks

but you can be sure their DOS based systems can't be hacked, where you can be sure their wizbang 212 mill will be hacked.

but I contextualize the height of UX to be Windows 3.1/NT3.x and Windows 2000

for Windows

devclass.com/2024/10/22/should-java…gle-driven-proposal-divides-opinion omg, from the School of Bad Ideas at Googletech...

> A Google engineer presented a proposal to the official standardization committee that would split JavaScript into two languages, a core to be implemented by runtime engines and a more capable variant which depends on tools that compile it down to that core.

so what Mozilla is doing with using NPM for modern Firefox

Standardizing V8 and Frameworks is not exactly a great idea..

imo

just ain't
