Kind regard...

Hello,

Just a follow-up.

• The main version of a project is no longer displayed when browsing subpages (see here for example: https://toolslib.net/downloads/viewdownload/1-adwcleaner/files/).

Hello,

Since you're booting from a DVD, the 5 minutes boot time seems reasonable. When you boot from this kind of support/device, a lot of things are loaded in the RAM itself. It also depends on the max speed provided by your disk reader.

Are you suggesting I boot from the ISO itself on disk? If so, I don't know how to do that.

I'm pretty sure it isn't doable...

I again dear friend, Hi friends, sorry a little OT (my post can be moved to a more appropriate thread, if you want, thanks). A way to force Firefox to playback (as in the glorious past) youtube, facebook, skylinewebcams videos via Flash Player (developed until 2020!) instead of the catastrophic html5. In the past month I was able to add a Mozilla addon in FF and/or to change the MP4 keys in abo...

Everything is fine here. Previous detections were indeed FPs.

Thanks,

This debug log will help us for sure. We're investigating.
