What is r3dfox?

r3dfox is a fork of the open source web browser Mozilla Firefox made specifically for Windows Vista, 7, and 8 compatibility.

Limited compatibility with One Core API on Windows XP is offered at the current time, however this is not tested consistently. Any issues that may arise that are hard to diagnose may be left to the extended kernel provider to fix.

Features:

  • New default theme and color scheme!
  • More native and native like elements, scrollbar, checkboxes, radio buttons, tooltips, and more! Better than the 115 ESR patch!
  • Aero Glass or accent color on 8/10+!
  • Ability to use modern (Windows 10) theme on any OS!
  • Full portable mode that doesn't touch AppData at all!
  • Classic about:config page!
  • Less telemetry than regular Firefox!
  • No background tasks!
  • Easier to notice red retry button for failed downloads!
  • JPEG XL support!
  • GPU/hardware acceleration in VMware Workstation 16 and above!
  • general.useragent.override.(website) is back!
  • Instant one off searches!
  • Ability to disable CSP!
  • Ability to visit websites on ports that Firefox rejects!
  • Ability to disable e10s! (Experimental and kinda broken)
