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:
SessionStore may be broken in some manner? I'd recommend setting r3dfox to Use custom settings for history, close and reopen browser, then if you wish, set the browser back to Remember history. This process looks to fix the issue.
This version of r3dfox isn't completely compatible with 128 ESR userChrome.css themes. You will need to replace instances of "(-moz-bool-pref: " with "-moz-pref(" for the theme to work correctly.
The r3dfox color scheme selector has been changed. This means your theme will be reset to the default orange for this release. You can change it back to your preferred style in settings.
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.
r3dfox specific changes on top of the previous v128.12.0rc build:
Fixed broken menu spacing in Bookmarks Menu (and likely some other menus as well)
r3dfox specific changes on top of the previous v128.10.0 build:
Fixed useragent missing OS slice when privacy.resistFingerprinting is set to true
Fixed sidebar not reopening on start if sidebar was opened when browser was closed
(Pretty much all just changes/fixes ported from later r3dfox releases)
VC++ DLLs are now included again
Browser omni.ja files are now packaged using Brotli compression. ~5MB bigger download size, but ~56MB smaller than last release when extracted/installed (these numbers are from 139 and I'm too lazy to check the numbers for 128)
Fixed opening and closing find in page causing scroll bar to get funky
Improved menu accuracy (removed 1px inaccuracy in sizing)
Added new Eclipse purple color scheme (This is the most complex color scheme I've made for the browser)
User agent overrides work better (now works for sites like gmx.com)
User agent override added for gmx.com and mail.com
OS_SLICE added to useragent overrides, so the user operating system is reported correctly when using a override.
All user agent overrides are using more realistic useragents (Firefox 115 or Chrome 109)
Option to enable/disable automatic cookie banner handling added to r3dfox settings
Added the rest of the portable mode code (pmprt.mod now makes the browser run in no-remote mode as it should and completely disables set as default functionality) (Normal portable mode (pmundprt.mod) works the same as before)
Added option to enable Skia GDI mode in settings. (buggy)
Redone and improved r3dfox settings. (There are almost too many changes here to list)
GDI and Cairo now display fonts.
Added option to reverse urlbar switch to tab behavior (it's a little buggy)
New Windows 7 support codebase. (This should fix PiP and other issues)
Windows versions now have their own specified themes again.
Modern UI setting has been replaced by Windows version theme override.
Menubar text glow setting has been removed as it no longer erroneously shows on Windows 8 and later.
SendFlushRenderingAsync is now disabled in all cases without DWM for causing rendering errors.
32 bit tooltip fix has been massively simplified.
Haven't extensively stability tested.
