Note: On first startup the browser may freeze for 5-30 seconds. It is unknown why this happens, and I do not have the will to figure it out at this moment. Any starts after the first are completely fine though.

Hotfix changes:
Browser now starts on Vista again.
Fixed the reload icon not switching from the x to reload after the page finishes loading.
Fixed PDF viewer.

The portable builds are fully portable, the profile directory is inside the browser folder. It does not touch appdata at all.

Requirements to use the browser on a given OS:
Vista: Service Pack 2 + KB971644 Platform Update
7 RTM/SP0 and later: Should just work.

Notable bugs:
The 32 bit build is built with --disable-sandbox. With the sandbox enabled under Vista, the browser fails to open multiple processes which breaks the browser. The 64 bit build is fine. Considering Mypal68 globally disables the sandbox, I don't think it's that bad. If this really is a big issue then please pr a fix.

Cairo/GDI backend ignores system cleartype settings and causes crashes on older versions of Windows and crashes without e10s.

New r3dfox specific changes in this build:
Added more websites to Anubis bypass
Updated faked useragents for ESR 153.
Fixed #93 in the laziest way because my ass is fat and stupid.

Haven't tested on XP (OCAPI) nor have I extensively stability tested.

Please let me know what bugs or issues you encounter with it.
