Any fix for GOG's new Dreamlist?

GOG have recently overhauled their wishlist function for no reason. And it doesn't work on Pale Moon. It constantly ..refreshes.. and texts with "more" opens and closes, and a horizontal scrollbar appears and disappear. No console log errors.

Fix for steams broken wishlist?

Since the change after the new law in Germany, coinciding with steams "update" to remove unavailable games from the wishlist, it has been broken for me. Can't remove games, can't re-order them, can't even use the menus. I can add new ones, but that's useless without a means to order them to my liking, not to mention removing unwanted ones. I'm also only using steam for their wishlist, since I heavily dislike DRM..

F12 shows a whole host of errors that can't be found in other places on steam;

unreachable code after return statement[Learn More]

Failed to load localization file: SyntaxError: missing export name

Anyone else having the same issue? I've tried disabling eMatrix, uBO, Pure URL, deCDN, and more. No luck.

Any plans to support WebExtensions

Hello there.

In recent years the performance and website compatibility of Pale Moon have greatly improved, and it is a really good browser nowadays.

However, the elephant in the room is the extension support. Pale Moon uses the old Firefox extension system, which may have seemed to be a good stand seven years ago, but now it does not look like so.

The most important extension - UBlock Origin has stopped supporting legacy Firefox browsers years ago, and its last version - even with Skipper's updates - gets worse day by day at blocking ads.

The Pale Moon-derived Basilisk browser used to support WebExtensions a few years back (but they dropped it), so it is possible.

Are there any plans to eventually get WebExtensions on board?

Let's be honest, a few years more without a decent adblock, and this browser will be barely usable due to the web being filled with ads and other crap of that kind.

Instagram message typing only works on linux version of Pale Moon

I use Pale Moon on Windows and Linux, and typing messages on Instagram only works on Linux version (both directly typing and copy & pasting to the text input box). What is wrong? I compared the installed extensions and config in the two systems but they were mostly same so I'm not sure what is wrong with Windows version. Pale Moon is the best browser I have ever used and no other browser (even firefox quantum) is satisfactory enough I would like to fix this issue.

A new user here!

Hi to all! Recently I've noticed that my default browser began to consume a lot of battery on my laptop (80 per cent). So, I've read some recommendations and give it a try to Pale Moon (again: I was a user long time ago). I'm bookmarking my firefox webs to Pale Moon, and I have this doubt. Logged to Facebook and says that the browser is outdated and can't use Facebook Messenger... I downloaded from the web...so I think I'm on the last version

Has PALE MOON discontinued support for "Windows 7"?

After upgrading to Version 33.4, the browser refused to execute, as I kept getting "Error Code 0xc000001d" Pop-Ups instead.

In a desperate but expecting no change diagnostic test, I rolled back to Ver. 32.5.2 -- and upon finding that the problem had now corrected itself, I was [re]assured that it was not related to any "System" issues.

So I incrementally reinstalled updated versions of the program, hoping that by doing so I would've bypassed whatever 'bug' had been disrupting the earlier launch attempts... but once I'd "upgraded" to Ver. 33.3.0, the smackdown resurrected its ugly head. So from 33.3.0, onward, I'm unable to use the browser, as it will not launch.

Is this a "compatibility" issue needing to be addressed? Or has "Windows 7" support officially been discontinued? (I'm finding no information anywhere regarding the latter concern.)

Thanks.....

Zen Browser uses alleged Pale Moon-owned trademark "Your Browser, Your Way"

Moonchild has made an issue on the Zen Browser project, saying that it uses a trademark owned by Pale Moon on its homepage.

As far as I can find on official trademark search engines of various jurisdictions (US, Canada, BeNeLux), the trademark doesn't exist, and there's also no information or proof provided about the jurisdiction of the trademark (since it needs to be registered in every country individually). But let's see if Moonchild clarifies.

browser not launching, "couldn't load XPCOM"; package issue?

OS: Nobara 40
terminal error: XPCOMGlueLoad error for file /home/username/Desktop/software/palemoon/libxul.so: libdbus-glib-1.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Couldn't load XPCOM

i've installed/updated the packages for gtk3 and tried for whatever libdbus-glib-1.so.2 is, but nothing seems to be working and i get the same error out of it every time. nobara is practically identical to fedora (on which it has opened in the past,) and the browser has not yet opened on this machine, it's been doing this since the first boot. i don't know what i could possibly be missing, and i've looked through every thread i could find on related issues, which were mostly on windows, so here i am! please help :)

redgifs no longer playing

Not working on 33.3.0, tested with a clean portable version as well. Pretty sure it's not on PM's end as the site was working recently, after the most recent update. Chrome loads fine.

Any ideas?

Tried to install v33.3.0 (2024-08-13), had to rollback to v33.2.1 (2024-07-15)

No big deal, just went to the PM website to download v33.2.1 and back to normal.

Usually rock solid updates, but it happens

Personal static website not rendering properly under Palemoon

Everything works except for

h1 {
text-align: center ;
color: lime ;
font-size: 24pt ;
border-bottom: none;
max-width: 700px ;
margin: 1em auto ;
background: linear-gradient(to right, #00ff00, #2ab300,#5fff20, #02c543);
    -webkit-text-fill-color: transparent;
    -webkit-background-clip: text;
}

Specifically the background part. Every other browser displays the h1 properly, with a nice gradient. Palemoon doesn't display the text at all. So I'm not sure where is the issue.

Update: Doesn't work on Basilisk either. It's likely the fault of the old engine not supporting this functionality.

Import Search Engines from Firefox

is there a surefire way to import all the search engines from firefox to pale moon.

so far i've tried to to copy around the search.json files but that doesn't seem to have the desired effect. i only seem to get some of the engines but not all of them.

am i missing something or is it simply not possible?

Logging in to Reddit - now troublesome

Is anyone else experiencing this? For the last few days or so, there's a different Reddit login screen that comes up, and Pale Moon neither populates it with my saved logins or even allows a right click to choose a login like other browsers do. Maybe it's some weirdness with my setup, but I thought I'd check before I drive myself crazy trying to figure it out.

I use old Reddit, but new Reddit has the same results.
