Basilisk 2026.01.23 Released!

[Basilisk-Dev]

Basilisk 2026.01.23 has been released!

This release uses UXP commit hash f272382a9c.

Please see the downloads page to download the update or the source code archive.

The autoupdate service does not currently support FreeBSD, macOS, or LoongArch64 Linux builds so a manual update is required on these operating systems.

See the release notes for more information. There are several Basilisk-specific changes in this release so reviewing the release notes is highly recommended.

Thanks! I already noticed good improvements on some sites.

But looks like there is a little bug, at least in the Linux version (both gtk2 and gtk3):

1769182884.png

I digged a little in the Console Toolbox, and found that removing the !important from appearance: toolbarbutton-dropdown !important; fixed it.

Code: Select all

#bookmarks-menu-button[cui-areatype="toolbar"] > .toolbarbutton-menubutton-dropmarker {
    appearance: none !important;
    -moz-box-align: center;
}

.toolbarbutton-menubutton-dropmarker {
    margin: 0 3px;
    appearance: toolbarbutton-dropdown !important;
    list-style-image: none;
    -moz-image-region: auto;
}

The only difference between the style of the new version and that from the previous one is the -moz- that is missing from appearance now, but adding it didn't seem to fix anyway.

[Basilisk-Dev]

That's... odd. I looked through my changes and I didn't change any code related to that button in the Linux/GTK theme at all outside of the moz-appearance stuff you mentioned. The issue doesn't happen on MacOS or Windows either.

I'm not going to release a whole new version for this but I'll make sure that it gets fixed in the next release.

This is caused by a regression from Issue #2859 (UXP) and Issue #2833 (UXP). I'll be sending a PR soon which should address this.

@Basilisk-Dev
While working on the language pack, I found a small bug:
- Go to "Settings" - "Secure" - "Saved Logins" and click "Import" button in the window that opens. An error will appear"

This is a leftover from Issue #76 - remove edge and ie migrators, migration.xul has not been cleared of the relevant lines

And a couple of minor flaws:
- In the “manage containers” window, the word ‘containers’ before the list of containers is not bolded (like “container details”). It looks a little ugly.

- There is no header text with the license in containers.properties.

And (this post was supposed to be about this ) a Russian language pack is now available for Basilisk:

I don't know if it's possible to somehow indicate this on the browser website?

Thank you for the feedback Enobarbous. I took a look and every one of your feedback points are valid so I went ahead and fixed them all.

Thanks for actually doing the work to build a language pack. Most people just come here and say "Hey Basilisk-Dev, will you make me a language pack for a language you don't speak?". Let me get back to you on this, currently the Basilisk addons site does not support language packs unfortunately.

Basilisk feels a lot better than it was already to use, so thanks!

Regarding the container tabs, I cannot seem to use them? The container tab option looks like the attachment, and I cannot find an option for the settings?

Apologies if this is a user error.

Enable it in your preferences (see attachment), it will also show a settings box next to it on the right.

Thank you! I checked settings but must have missed it
