Update to firefox 143.0.0.596

Recently (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1937025), Mozilla updated security/sandbox/chromium/ to chromium/chromium@6d3cc0d (Version 120.0.6099.225). Since Chromium 120 no longer supports Windows 7/8, this means Firefox's sandbox compatibility with Windows 7/8 has been further compromised.

To maintain sandbox support for Windows Vista/7/8, I've applied dozens of Chromium for windows 7 patches to security/sandbox/chromium/ and successfully made Firefox launch on Windows 7/8 without disabling the sandbox. The 64-bit builds and the 32-bit builds marked with "-disable-sandbox" suffix should work properly on Windows Vista/7/8; the 32-bit builds without "-disable-sandbox" suffix won't work on Vista. If you encounter any issues about sandbox, please let me know.

changes and improvements:

  • (#73) bring back security.csp.enable

Changing locale:

  • In about:config Toggle extensions.langpacks.signatures.required to false
  • Toggle xpinstall.signatures.required to false
  • Toggle intl.multilingual.downloadEnabled to true
  • Toggle intl.multilingual.enabled to true
  • open the langpack for target locale (eg firefox-70.0a1.en-CA.langpack.xpi if you want an en-CA locale).
  • In about:preferences click "Set Alternatives" under "Language", move desired locale to the top position, click OK, click "Apply And Restart"
