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.

Twitter almost unusable. Any suggestions to speed it up?

Any click, action, or refresh on the X takes forever to execute. Do you have any suggestions on how to speed up the browsing experience? Thanks in advance.

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.

Are there any 88x31 site buttons for Pale Moon?

My personal website is styled in the simple, tiled backgrounds way of the late 1990s. I have a "Button Corner" at the bottom of the homepage with various 88x31 buttons along the lines of "Get Netscape NOW!", or "Best Viewed in 800x600". I was wondering if there are any like that for Pale Moon?

I've had a quick web search already, and I couldn't find any PM related. Also some of those archives for these buttons have their file names just as "button###.GIF", which is a bit hard to search thru. I've also had a look @ PM's website on the Wayback Machine, in case they ever had those hosted there. No dice.

Edit: So, I haven't found any. I ended up making one. Here it is.

How do I restore toolbars after they have all been hidden?

I was trying to see how minimal Pale Moon can be, so I hid all of the toolbars and then closed all open tabs so the tab bar disappeared also. But now I can't figure out how to get them back. Right clicking on the title bar only gives me the options to resize the window or move to another workspace. Right clicking in the window only gives me the usual options to bookmark, save page, view source and a few others, but nothing to restore the menu bar, address bar, tab bar or bookmark bar. This has rendered the browser useless since I can't do anything. I can't input a url or select a bookmark, so I can't even go to a website.

Strange issue of intermittent success accessing a photo gallery site

The site is girlsreleased.com and I can load the image galleries fine with firefox, but PM regularly fails to display even a single photo on a gallery page.

But not always. Every now and then, PM succeeds in obtaining gallery pages with photos, and I jump on the opportunity to grab what I can with ImageHost Grabber (the only reason I need PM over FF). But before long, the galleries are sure to stop loading the photos again, going back to giving me blank pages. Whenever the pages fail to load the photos, IHG also fails to find any files to download.

Does anyone know the issue?

Any downsides to using ηMatrix instead of NoScript?

Name confusion: ηMatrix/eMatrix/ηeMatrix/nMatrix

I have almost completed the process of converting and besides the garbage user interface with a steep learning curve I am not seeing any problems. Looking at tutorials on the web is a good idea with ηMatrix. I started with just blocking scripts and keeping my cookie controller, AdBlocker and video blocker add-ons. Then I stepwise had ηMatrix take over some of those functions and eliminated the old add-ons (except probably the AdBlocker).

working fix for the image preview page "feature"

Any working solutions for not being able to open reddit images directly? The addons out there are for only FF and Chrome. I've tried modifying the http headers with every relevant addon from the classic archive, but nothing seems to have worked so far.

Palemoon looks to have hard nuked NoScript (again?)

Had to downgrade and revert my profile from backup. I don't know why they care if they explicitly do not support it.
