Here it is: arcticfox-44.0.en-US.linux-powerpc-libc6_2.11.1_without_altivec.tar.bz2

You need the libatomic1 package for Arctic Fox 44.0 on Ubuntu 10.04.4.

You need the libstdc++-4.8-dev_4.8.1-2ubuntu1~10.04.1_powerpc.deb for Arctic Fox on Ubuntu 10.04 additionally.

I uploaded it: libstdc++-4.8-dev_4.8.1-2ubuntu1~10.04.1_powerpc.deb

Maybe you need Python 2.7 for compiling Arctic Fox. I had to compile Python 2.7 because Arctic Fox depends on Python 2.7 but it wasn't difficult to compile it.

Compiling Python:

./configure --prefix=/usr

make

sudo make install

Issue: ViewTube: Couldn't get the script link. Please report it here.

Solution: about:config - Search: useragent.override.youtube.com and delete the value.

It seems there is a fix.

viewtube has release test version for "couldn't get the script link" error, it works on 44.0 with useragent value setting

Link: gitlab.com/sebaro/ViewTube

You can configure the user agent with about:config - Search: useragent.override.youtube.com and set the value to Mozilla/5.0 (iPad; CPU OS 10_2_1 like Mac OS X) AppleWebKit/602.4.6 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/10.0 Mobile/14D27 Safari/602.1.

After that YouTube uses the mobile version of their site (https://m.youtube.com) and this website works with the add-on ViewTube.

Hello everyone,

ViewTube no longer loads videos with the VLC Web Plugin. I have updated ViewTube, but this does not solve the problem. Do you have the same problem?

Thanks,
Christian

FYI:

…
The latest (2024.07.09) ViewTubeTest script fixes the problem!

Yes, I tested it with ArcticFox, Interweb and PaleMoon.

I was able to install it in Arctic Fox. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to install it in SeaLion. I had to copy it from Arctic Fox to SeaLion manually.

cp -R .org.multix/arcticfox/<your profile>.default/gm_scripts .wicknix/sealion/<your profile>.default/
