Pale Moon Site Compatability issues

Have you installed Pale Moon 25.0.2 yet?

MoonChild has made a change(begrudgingly): Pale Moon forum • View topic - Pale Moon 25.0.2 released!

I haven't installed v25.0.X yet. To many add-ons/extensions are breaking because of the new GUID. I'll give Pale Moon 25.0.2 Portable a run through for a while to see what I can live with/without.

They are setting up an add-on/extension site. It will/does list add-ons that work fine(some not so fine or at all), some are pseudo-static until the add-on is made compatible with Pale Moon v25.0.X or a fork of the add-on is made. A fork of AdBlock Plus(ABP) is currently under construction as it is the most popular add-on/extension. There is a pseudo-static version of ABP available.

When one add-on author was contacted about making his add-on compatible, he said that "Pale Moon is a completely different animal than Firefox" but if someone would show him a not to lengthy way to modify his add-on he would make the changes.

I started using the "general.useragent.overide" when sites started telling me I was running an out of date version of Firefox.

 

To see if ADP is running, type about:addons-memory in the address bar. If it is running it should show as using memory. You can also look in the "Tools" menu to see if it's listed.

The ADP icon hasn't been displaying for me for quite some time. I access it through the "Tools" menu, works the same as using the icon.

I understand the point of view about sites not using the UA to identify the browser but, it's a double edged sword.

If sites were to use more exact measures for identification, it would stop users from having their browser pretend to be some other browser. This could be detrimental in some cases. For instance a site might only want to allow I.E. yet the browser in use(not I.E.) is perfectly capable of rendering the sites pages and there would be no way for users to get around this other than to use I.E. every time they wanted to access the site.

A while back this was the case with Yahoo Mail and Opera.

PM-v25 is a "milestone" upgrade and as expected there will be some bumps in the road. I believe they will be smoothed out though.

Laura, ABP is working fine but the icon is not showing in PM as of 25.0

If you want to see the icon back then remove the current ABP prior to installing ABP Pseudo-Static and then the icon will show. You will have to install any subscriptions anew.

PM's Moonchild asked many addon developers to make their addons compatible a few months ago but very few have responded.

I'm sure that Moonchild will do anything possible to keep Pale Moon alive!

PS: sofar, using PM, I've come only across 1 website that told me that I was not using Fx, Chrome or IE.

New release today: http://forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=6247

 

I had one site that would not load, hbo.
After I installed yesterday's update, the hbo site loaded fine.

No problem with ABP showing because I uninstalled the addon, updated to v25, went to
https://addons.palemoon.org/extensions/privacy-and-security/adblock-plus/
downloaded and installed the addon specifically for PM.

 

Seems there was another cause of the problem, and it was addressed in Pale Moon 25.0.2
