There's no r3dfox specific changes in this build, those will come after I finish 147.0.4 and port them over to 140.8.0. I've released this since a supposedly big vulnerability has been found and point releases for ESR versions have been made, and rather than wait for 140.8.0 to release or work on the pre-release build I'd rather just release this for now.
After I release 147.0.4, I'm probably going to work on porting ESR 115/140 security patches to ESR 128, probably until ESR 140 support is dropped if it goes well.

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.
Haven't tested on XP (OCAPI) nor have I extensively stability tested.
Please let me know what bugs or issues you encounter with it.
