Otter Browser Forum / Re: Some website stopped working
FWIW it doesn't work on Firefox 52.9.1 ESR on Windows XP either, but that isn't now a supported browser of course.
I would report it on GitHub, it's more likely that @Emdek will pick it up there I would have thought.

Otter Browser Forum / Re: Weekly 400
I'm still on Windows XP, so when I update I extract the files from the zip file of the XP version, and then just move them all across to my Otter folder, overwriting as necessary.
That's always woked for me.

Otter Browser Forum / Weekly 400
Thanks for the new build, and it's now reporting the right version so no more spurious update nags!
All working fine, keep up the good work.
Thanks, Dave.

Otter Browser Forum / Re: Selected Download Folder Not Writable?
Thanks Frenzie, let's hope @Emdek can suggest a reason.
I'm sure this is something new, I'm pretty sure I've saved to that folder before in the past without any issues, but that might have been before I made it the XP Documents and Setting user folder. Normally I would suspect a permissions issue, but surely that shouldn't happen with XP, it's not even an NTFS formatted folder, it's FAT32!

Otter Browser Forum / Selected Download Folder Not Writable?
In addition to the Otter version problem I now have (see the "Otter and Windows XP" thread) I've now found that when I try to download an update to my XP "Documents and Settings" folder, which is mapped to "E:\Dump Folder" on my archive drive, I get a message saying that "the folder is not writable, choose another". If I hit cancel Otter immediately crashes.
There is nothing wrong with the folder I'm trying to save the download to, I write to it all the time with loads of programs!
I can save to a subfolder within that folder, but not to the folder itself.
Any idea why this might be happening?
Thanks, Dave.

Otter Browser Forum / Re: Otter and Windows XP
After a long gap, I've finally just looked to see if there is an update for weekly #360 on XP, and was pleased to find that there's a weekly #380 available now.
After the update, Help>About Otter still says "Otter 1.0.8.1 weekly 360" though.
Any idea why?
Doing a check for updates still prompts me to update to weekly #380.
I've downloaded it and replaced the files several times, but no difference.

Otter Browser Forum / OnlyFans Site No Longer Working
Was fine until a few days ago, now won't load properly, just shows the pulsing logo permanently and never goes to the login page.
Anyone any idea why?
Using Weekly #333 on XP.

Otter Browser Forum / Re: Can't sign into Google any more?
OK, changing the user agent string on the Google login page finally enabled me to sign in, and I then had to play around with different strings for YouTube as well. Unfirtunately, the only ones which actually work cause the annoying banner at the top saying my browser will soon be unsupported!
I have a good user agent string which I use on Firefox 52.9 ESR (I'm on Windows XP so can't use anything newer) and I would like to try that on Otter as well, but I can't see any obvious way of putting in a custom user agent string for a site. Is that really not possible?

Otter Browser Forum / Can't sign into Google any more?
I just updated to weekly #333, and testing YouTube I now cannot use it.
I get a message to sign into Google, but when I try to do it I get a message saying -
"The browser that you're using doesn't support JavaScript, or has JavaScript turned off.
To keep your Google Account secure, try signing in on a browser that has JavaScript turned on."
I've checked the Otter settings, and javascript is turned on!
Anyone any ideas?
Thanks, Dave.

Otter Browser Forum / Re: Not responding while page buildup
Well yes that could well be true, but as you say it's finding someone with the necessary knowledge (and will) to look at fixing the issues.
Thank you very much for still providing builds that work at all on XP for us diehards!
Almost all other browsers have abandoned XP completely now (Firefox is just about to when 52ESR is retired).
