Just played with the 64 bit mainline portable and it works a treat.
Was surprised it came with a very recent FF version (V128) which updated fine.

Previously a used a pet of an older update-able firefox and had it updated all the way to V128.03.
But it was causing some navigation issues on a few important to me web sites.
No such issues with the portable.

I found the mediafire files (the two browsers I used were too old to get into Mega.nz), tried a small pile of the "portables" with no joy.
Live CD Xenial 7.5 with an ASUS M4A87TD legacy Motherboard.
THEN I checked the Firefox files and tried the 32 bit tarball and it starts faster every time I touch LAUNCH! Holy cow!
Works perfectly! THANK YOU very much sir!

Next I'll plop it into an ntfs or fat32 file and see if it works from there also. Sitting in a new ext3 file right now. Took awhile for this old GUI user to remember how to do that.
This keyboard is for writing technical info elsewhere.
Puppy'ers know to keep trying! We'll find the combination. :thumbup2:

p.s. If too bright, can't see the tabs? Click settings, go into extensions and themes, enable dark mode and the tabs pop! Cake.

I still miss puppy 4.21. Been a user since 4.11 and never going back.
