vista/win7 for win10/11 This is my main (win10) daily driver for now. I have a few win11pro desktops on the back-burner (virtualbox) ;)

Adding this line "browser.urlbar.update2.engineAliasRefresh" set "true" in the about:config Firefox will show/unhide a hidden button at the bottom of the about : preferences#search window/tab. I was trying to add a searchplugin.xml file the way I use to do in the old days (circa 2009...

Go to your AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\xyzuser.default-123456etc profile and rename it to whatever dog-name you want (lol) This folder contains every permissions passwords preferences etc you need to keep. There is another default profile-folder along with this below, this one is...

I went with 136 to see if an issue I had was still up. Some weird thing would stop youtube from playing whenever without reason. Refresh page would not do anything so I'd restart firefox and go. But after a week of this I got tired. Upgrading to 136 did not solved anything. Duplicating the page...

The other, as always so unpleasant, surprise is the tab that's playing media is shunked leaving just barely enough space to place the cursor without hitting the mute/un-mute button. I've search through about-config for browser.tab , media , override , tabs , width , to no avail. My tabs are...

I've used one of "'memstechtips" (github) apps after installing win10, and since install everything I needed to make everything look like win7 again. In my case "WIMUtil" did the job. Now he's got a new one: Winhance. I'm gonna give it a try later but everything works as I want for now. (Why...

This brings up win7 UI wallpaper chooser/timer/shuffler/etc C:\Windows\explorer.exe shell:::{ED834ED6-4B5A-4bfe-8F11-A626DCB6A921} -Microsoft.Personalization\pageWallpaper

I've created a short-cut using this line below as target; C:\Windows\explorer.exe shell:::{ED834ED6-4B5A-4bfe-8F11-A626DCB6A921} This brings up "Personalization Control Panel", just as the vista/win7 days, the way it should have remained ;)
