UXP-Fixed

UXP with the autism removed

Credits

• MoonchildProductions for the wonderful UXP platform
• Tobin for complaining that this project exists.
• The wonderful 4chan users.

Differences between this and upstream UXP?

• Restore support for dual GUID system (you can now use Firefox addons again)
• Restore support for system libvpx
• Restore support for system sqlite (I really don't recommend using this.)
• Restore support for system libpng
• Restore support for system nspr/nss
• Restore support for system ICU (this breaks on newer system ICU versions)
• Completely remove directive4 (you can build using official branding regardless of compile options)

FAQ

• Why does this exist?
  • Because I wanted to do this for a while. The MyPal situation was the perfect time.
• Aren't you in violation of Moonchild Productions' copyright?
  • No. Even if we had a repeat of the MyPal situation here I'd ignore and block whoever submitted the issue as Feodor2 should have done. As far as I am aware this repo has no copyrighted MoonchildProductions material. If so please inform me and I will remove it immediately.
• But what about ManchildProductions or Male Poon? Surely those violate his copyright!
  • They do not. He does not have the copyright to the name Male Poon, or to the name Manchild Productions. As a matter of fact I checked with the USPTO and neither Pale Moon nor Moonchild Productions are registered there either :^)

Unified XUL Platform (UXP)

This repository holds the code for a unified application platform for XUL-based applications. It is a hard fork from the Mozilla code repository (mozilla-central) with an ESR-52 fork point.

In addition to further development based on the Mozilla upstream code, and selective cherry-picking of directly-applicable patches, this repository has its own development and holds the base for a maintained platform to be used by XUL applications.

For a list of active projects making use of the Unified XUL Platform, checkout http://thereisonlyxul.org/.
