    Catsxp 3.3.5 (Chromium 112) works on Windows 7.

    You are trolling and spamming as usual. And it is more and more your usual activity here.
    I provide useful information for people. And you are just complaining and complaining with little benefits to anybody.

    I posted latest supported stable versions.
    And when you go to Vivaldi website and choose Windows 7, they will propose you the same version I posted.
    So direct your complaints there, to Vivaldi Technologies.

    You're just playing the smartest guy in the town, selling your personal highly debatable preferences as facts. Here like elsewhere.

    If we had all other programs, as stable as Vivaldi snapshots, we lived in a way better world.



    Sure, never offer a dinner in a good Italian restaurant to people who think the macmenu is the best thing ever.

    I run the 109.0.5414.129_chrome_installer.exe file with the --system-level switch in the Run dialog box and it either silently clean installs or quietly updates the Chrome 109 browser on my old Win7 PCs to v109.0.5414.129 without problem. when I download & run those particular chrome_installer.exe installers from those random google links, I always use
    them with the "--system-level" switch; first two dashes or "double dash" preceding "system-level". I never run such exe files by itself w/out switches. and the "--system-level" switch forces the install to the \Program Files\ folder.
    (ex. c:\temp\109.0.5414.129_chrome_installer.exe --system-level)

    i'm using your SlimFirefox and it's fantastic :)
     
  8. It surely is :) It is my day to day browser on every single PC.
    Only on smartphones I prefer KiWi or Bromite instead of Firefox.

    Where is this SlimFirefox? I want to try it.
     
  10. I will tell you but do not tell it to anybody. Because it is top secret and it is password protected (because this secret is really deep).
    Just scroll up three posts and click the link inside the post which will appear.
    But remember: this is secret, so do not share it to anybody :D

    Firefox devs just said they will support windows 7/ 8 with an special 115 ESR release.

     
  12. The script creates 3 files:

    1. %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile>\prefs.js
    2.
    %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile>\chrome\userChrome.css
    3.
    %SystemRoot%\System32\drivers\etc\hosts (modification only)

    You cannot include hosts in portable app, but the first 2 files can be migrated there.

    Oh sorry, I still don't know/understand how to run the script for the portable version.
     
  14. Extract these files from non-portable profile and copy them to portable profile. Easiest way if you do not understand shell scripting.

    As a longtime Opera user I never loved FF but now, that trident and presto are gone, anything that can limit the blink/webkit dominance is surely welcome.

    And I guess that the niche of W7 users, being presumably a not that small niche, could be a good reason to push FF devs, to release ESR version based on FF 115.

    I tested the SlimFirefox script a bit and tried to adjust some functions, but I'm more less guessing their meaning, not knowing what they really stand for.

    I would be happy if I would know what to change if I still want to use the following functions:
    • Firefox account login function. I want to access my bookmarks on all my computers
    • When I sometimes accidentally close my entire window or some tabs I would like to be able to recover them
    • The autofill option is sometimes quite useful for me
    Thanks
