The portable builds are fully portable, the profile directory is inside the browser folder. It does not touch appdata at all.
Requirements to use the browser on a given OS:
Vista: Service Pack 2 + KB971644 Platform Update
7 RTM/SP0 and later: Should just work.
Notable bugs:
The 32 bit build is built with --disable-sandbox. With the sandbox enabled under Vista, the browser fails to open multiple processes which breaks the browser. The 64 bit build is fine. Considering Mypal68 globally disables the sandbox, I don't think it's that bad. If this really is a big issue then please pr a fix.
Cairo/GDI backend ignores system cleartype settings and causes crashes on older versions of Windows and crashes without e10s.
New r3dfox specific changes in this build:
Not exactly r3dfox specific, but the YouTube AV1 memory leak bug should have been fixed in upstream, so this should be fixed here too for people on Windows 8 and 10.
Added new changed preferences from Librewolf.
Bumped Discord useragent override to version 148.
Compiled with a new version of eRust.
Haven't tested on XP (OCAPI) nor have I extensively stability tested.
Please let me know what bugs or issues you encounter with it.

r3dfox specific changes on top of the previous v147.0.1-1 build:
Disabled Spectre mitigations by default for more performance. Even Mozilla themselves disabled one of them, "This mitigation has only theoretical value and a very real performance cost." https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1877605
Added new settings for enabling/disabling geolocation, urlbar formatting, and more.
Corrected switch to tab setting information. Apparently it works as intended.
Added new patches and preference changes from Librewolf.

r3dfox ESR v140.7.1esr for Vista+
There's no r3dfox specific changes in this build, those will come after I finish 147.0.4 and port them over to 140.8.0. I've released this since a supposedly big vulnerability has been found and point releases for ESR versions have been made, and rather than wait for 140.8.0 to release or work on the pre-release build I'd rather just release this for now.
After I release 147.0.4, I'm probably going to work on porting ESR 115/140 security patches to ESR 128, probably until ESR 140 support is dropped if it goes well.
