Release notes
This release is marked as beta as I intend to redo the branch and the way the Librewolf changes are implemented. There are also other changes I wanted to make, but I was too tired yesterday and set this to build so I can have a beta release today.
A few other reasons it's a beta release include removing potentially useless reverts for native controls. I haven't been able to find any case where r3dfox 148 has a native control item where 149 does not. Let me know if you notice a regression here where something that should be native appears non-native in the new release.
There are also two bugs from upstream that I haven't gotten around to looking into yet. Some non-native dropdown boxes have the native dropdown tick as well as the non-native one, and menu ticks and dots do not show.
That is all I think for this release. A non-beta 149 will be coming soon.

The portable builds are fully portable, the profile directory is inside the browser folder. It does not touch appdata at all.
Requirements to use the browser on a given OS:
Vista: Service Pack 2 + KB971644 Platform Update
7 RTM/SP0 and later: Should just work.
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.
Cairo/GDI backend ignores system cleartype settings and causes crashes on older versions of Windows and crashes without e10s.
New r3dfox specific changes in this build:
Stripped down and removed old, presumed unnecessary changes. If this brings back old bugs, let me know. Notable points of test would be native controls appearing in the wrong place or not showing where they should, potential issues on Vista with the sandbox and crashing, and the installer maybe having issues.
Disabled some new UI elements, reverted to old default browser text.
Haven't tested on XP (OCAPI) nor have I extensively stability tested.
Please let me know what bugs or issues you encounter with it.
