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.
r3dfox specific changes on top of the previous v147.0.1-1 build:
Disabled Spectre mitigations by default for more performance. Even Mozilla themselves disabled one of them, "This mitigation has only theoretical value and a very real performance cost." https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1877605
Added new settings for enabling/disabling geolocation, urlbar formatting, and more.
Corrected switch to tab setting information. Apparently it works as intended.
Added new patches and preference changes from Librewolf.
Haven't tested on XP (OCAPI) nor have I extensively stability tested.
Please let me know what bugs or issues you encounter with it.
