Plasmafox is the nightly branding for r3dfox. This release has the Plasmafox branding due to it being based upon the nightly build 152.0a1-v2. This is a bit out of date considering the official version is on 153.0a1 by now, but I had to build this version before proceeding to 152.0a1-v3 and beyond, and figured I might as well release it. This release is 64 bit only for now. Historically I never made 32 bit beta builds, but if wanted I can make them for later versions.
Also on top of that, Plasmafox has experimental features not in release r3dfox. Such as enhanced tab unloading on low memory with options to tweak for it from #17.
Otherwise it's on par with r3dfox 150.0.3 + the new features included in 140.11.0esr.
By the way if you still still have a Plasmafox v133.0(.4)e install you want to update to this release, please back up your profile if you wish to use it with this version. It automatically enabled clear history for me for whatever reason and cleared my history, but I had backed up my profile so it was fine. If you're starting fresh, you shouldn't have any issues.

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:
See above note.
Also allow all pdf files to be printed.
Haven't tested on XP (OCAPI) nor have I extensively stability tested.
Please let me know what bugs or issues you encounter with it.
