New Moon 28 GitHub MSFN 20260627 ☹️ ☹️ 20260718 ☹️ ☹️ 20260815 ☹️☹️ ☹️☹️

Unfortunately, GitHub no longer works properly in New Moon 28 32-bit 20260627 or 20260718 either. Many elements no longer load correctly. And the new MSFN cannot be displayed properly either. The menus are broken, Dark Mode doesn’t work and performance is rubbish. The only silver lining for me is that at least MSFN (and of course GitHub) runs perfectly in Opera on my Android tablet. 👈

As always, my single-core 32-bit P4 is the perfect tool for diagnosing errors, performance issues and so on. In New Moon 28 32-bit 20260815, any GitHub page causes the entire browser to freeze when it is the active tab. You can’t click on anything anywhere in the interface. A total fiasco.

I just tested New Moon 28 32-bit 20260815. GitHub Assets opens, but unfortunately, it uses 100% CPU, which doesn't return to normal, and the whole browser is blocked as long as the GitHub page is the current tab without any new error messages in the Browser Console, probably as the tab is dead. That means this version is also useless to me. So for now, I'll stick with the New Moon 28 32-bit 20260627 version.

Of course. Not being a real administrator is much better. But you were already used to that from Windows 8. So nothing new under the sun. BTW, my Windows XP runs perfectly.

No good statement!

Cloudflare's alleged Browser Developer Program Apparently there is a Cloudflare Browser Developer Program mentioned by Moonchild: CloudFlare: summary and status. And here is the official announcement: Announcing the Cloudflare Browser Developer Program. But clicking on their form Cloudflare Browser Development Program Application leads to that: Cloudflare and its developers are nothing more than propagandists and charlatans. This service holds a monopoly, which it exploits ruthlessly, and should be regulated by law under threat of very heavy financial penalties. Cheers, AstroSkipper

I implemented in my ProxHTTPSProxy's PopMenu TLS 1.3 3V3 package the tool Min2Tray which I therefore have been using for years. So I can minimise any other programme to the systray as well. That was the best I could find.

Thanks! And yes, I know that. It has been reported here. However, my statement had a completely different intention. I try to stay some releases behind. As the release from 2026-06-27 is running fine here and quite close to PM 34.3.1 from 2026-06-24, there is no need for me to update at the moment. I don’t need regressions at the time and am trying to avoid them. Once the regressions reach MCP's Pale Moon, a solution will surely be found. Unless, of course, @roytam1 has a solution for this first. Unfortunately, however, he isn’t particularly talkative.

TBH, there is actually no need to directly update New Moon 28 when a new update is available. The release from 2026-06-27 is running fine here. Maybe, we should stop playing guinea pigs for the Windows XP haters on the Pale Moon forum. Their current release is 34.3.1 from 2026-06-24, and therefore GitHub will probably still run well in their current Pale Moon release https://forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.php?f=70&t=33602. They may feel free to be this time the first to struggle with the faulty updates. I've been a bit behind on updating for a while now. Strictly according to the motto: Never change a running system! At least for a few weeks.

On a modern system, Norton Ghost is rather problematic. The following rule applies to imaging (backup) software: The more modern the computer, the more recent the imager.

Macrium is of course an interesting tool as it has an additonal feature called Macrium ReDeploy to restore a Windows system image to completely different hardware.

All of Codeberg.org at the moment for me. As I’ve already mentioned, I’ve had no problems accessing Codeberg from Germany. It works fine here. I've just tested it again.

I can't confirm that. Works here fine. Just tested.

It is a built-in safety feature derived from older Firefox architecture designed to protect your system from unverified files and drive-by downloads.

This is the direct downlad link for using context menu entry "Save as" or installing diectly via clicking onto it: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/downloads/file/4098688/user_agent_string_switcher-0.5.0.xpi This is the version history: https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/user-agent-string-switcher/versions/

This is not for general use. It is meant for a manually created SSUAO in about:config for cloudflare.com only.

This is due to your security settings. Don't install it directly but download it locally first! That kind of thing doesn't happen with me.

When using unknown extensions, test them deeply and check on a user agent website if they are really working as advertised! BTW, this extension actually requires FF91+. Just because you can install an extension doesn’t necessarily mean it will actually work.

You have to go to the version history and select the xpi file for 0.5.0. Has been working fine in Mypal 68/74/78 for years. Here is the direct download link: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/downloads/file/4098688/user_agent_string_switcher-0.5.0.xpi

User-Agent Switcher and Manager 0.5.0. You can get it here: https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/user-agent-string-switcher/versions/

You can thank the website owners who have set up this sort of challenge via Cloudflare and are currently only allowing modern browsers.

Your links https://eztv.tf/home and https://yts.gg/browse-movies/0/all/all/0/latest/0/en contain automatic CF challenges which can't be solved in Mypal 78.0.3 at the moment or in the worst case never. These challenges are much harder to solve for a browser than the click box ones due technical reasons. The SSUAO won't help then.

Short note. An honest user agent that shows Windows XP (NT 5.1) as the operating system, of course only if this is the user's OS, also works for the click box challenges: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:78.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/78.0

So you can go to these two sites with out CF interfearence? No, very strange websites. However, all my tested websites have worked properly. Check your turnstile compatibility: https://browser-compat.turnstile.workers.dev/ This test was advised on this website: https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-challenges/troubleshooting/challenge-solve-issues/ BTW, your posted websites perform a different test, not the standard one.
