Basilisk 2021.03.17 released

Unread post by Moonchild » 2021-03-17, 11:51

This is a small bugfix update.
  • Changed the version of NSS to a custom build to address certificate import and (hopefully also) keygen issues.
  • Updated the embedded emoji font for Yet More Professions With All Skin Colors&tm;.
  • Updated the YouTube Studio useragent for compatibility.

I'm not sure if I'm jumping the gun here with the big time difference, but the release notes page isn't showing the new version yet.

Forgot to purge the cdn web cache. Should be ok now.

Thank you for the continuous maintenance of the project and the update! I was wondering today that no update came for 5 months. But if everything goes well, this is not necessary... ;-)

There have been more releases than that.

It is actually the 6th update within the last 5 months:
that is really faster than sluggy Mozilla :angel:

Is there something broken in your update prefs?

Now I am very surprised! Previously I always got an automatic prompt to update. I haven't received that for 5 months now. I'm still running version 2020.10.28 and I get the message "Basilisk is up to date". So there seems to be something wrong with the update mechanism... How can I find out if the update settings are correct?

Preferences -> Advanced -> Update


Is it possible that you use 32-bit Basilisk?

The 32-bit version was discontinued late last year.
Last 32-bit release was 2020.11.25 (one release after the version you say you have) and in it auto-update was removed for that architecture.

Uhhh. That's it! I use the 32 bit version because I use some add-ons / extensions / plugins that are (were?) not available for 64 bit. Then I guess I'll have to see if these add-ons are available for 64 bit in the meantime. That will be quite a work. :-(

Normally only plugins are architecture-specific, so you can likely limit your work to that.

Thanks, I'll get to work on it now. Because the old Basilisk does not show the option buttons anymore on the configuration page of my router after a firmware update. So now it's really high time...

Edit: Oops! I'm really flashed! I just installed the 64-bit browser and after opening the new browser everything is the same as with the 32-bit browser! Even the layout, tabs, history, bookmarks, addons. All the same. Unbelievable! Do both browsers access the same dataset? Will there be any problems if I delete the old browser and its directory?

Anyway, you just put a big smile on my face! If I knew it was this easy, I would have done it a long time ago! Basilisk is simply the best browser! Thank you so, so much for this!!!

Hmmm, the option buttons are not displayed correctly in the current 64-bit Basilisk either. But that's WHOLE bad! The router is no longer configurable like this! :-(

Here the screenshot from Basilisk:

And here from Chrome. This is how it should look like:

Concerning FritzBox, please read through this thread, with particular attention to this post.

And please search the forum next time before posting a problem.

@coffeebreak: Sorry for my question. I was just a bit upset about this stupid behavior of the router. Of course you are right!
