My Browser Builds (Part 1)

From your description, it does sound like a tracking site.

I haven't seen it myself but I normally surf with Flash disabled and only enable it when necessary (increasingly rare). Flash objects are almost like their own Web pages that can use Flash as another, less secure, Web browser on your system; one that leaks a lot of info. Ironic, to say the least, that it's the one NPAPI plug-in that modern FF still allows. I guess Adobe's big enough that Mozilla's rules about proper add-on behavior don't apply to them.

When I have the Flash plugin set to "ask to activate" on Firefox, loads of sites, including online banking sites, ask if they can run it.
 

Maybe it is not be that bad: there was a flash update this month, and I had it "ask to activate" in my social media profile, just because FB was feeding me flash files. After the update, no more phoning. It may be that after detecting the inactive outdated plugin, it called the ip.  Or it may be that somebody was trying to probe my system, being that flash was outdated. 

In a particular case, I added general.useragent.override.facebook.com;Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:45.9) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/45.9 to about:config, and now FB doesn't feed more flash -none that I could see, anyway- and sends me those videos in html5. So I have blocked flash altogether, no problem detected yet. I will see what happens with other sites.

I also had flash in mailnews set to "ask to activate" and disabled it altogether.

Thanks for the help, guys, and of course to you, roytam1.

ocsp.digicert.com resolves to 72.21.91.29.

No idea what 192.16.58.8 is but the 192.16 block is owned by MCI. I know that doesn't help much

I suppose you could block access to that IP with Windows Firewall, or your router, and see what breaks.

they have multiple IP for this task: https://knowledge.digicert.com/generalinformation/INFO4895.html

''We noticed a login from a device you don't usually use

If this was you, you can safely disregard this email. If this wasn't you, change your password to protect your account.''

 

this is what happens when you try to login some sites with PM 28 I was even forced to change my email password  !!!

I think I won't update this browser anymore, the more updates the worse it works.

that's sites problem.

but feel free to stay on whatever build(s) you want since I don't force people to update (and that's the reason that I don't like auto-updates).

if it only was one site I would accept this issue but it's not normal that multiple sites find NM28 to be an intruder

 

I have 5 mail accounts ( 3 hotmail ,yahoo, gmail ) I am member in 2 discussion forums, 4 international newspapers, avast forum, malwarebytes forum, progrock archives and legrove. I have never ever encountered any of the inconveniences you have mentioned.

Cheers

It's not an "intruder", the profile is merely unknown. As they clearly say. It just means the server doesn't recognize that the current browser profile is still the same as at last login. Obviously that browser is better at reducing fingerprinting, has stronger privacy settings.

Of course, no fun. A while back I actually had the same prob with amazon, with another browser (KM1.6 due to old OS), and drove me crazy too. Old cookies just ignored. Finally got it fixed somehow, it was some strange setting, but now don't remember anymore which one :( Possibly this one, although makes no sense:
network.http.accept.default (am now using */*)
Anyway, would compare your settings with your 'working' browsers. Can be anything, from different adblock stuff to cookie settings, storage permissions, indexeddb permission, each global or site specific, useragents, referer permissions etc. Check privacy and security addons.

It's all about settings. By the way amazon is playing with their coding again, new quirks for ancient browsers (like my KM1.6) started 2-3 weeks ago: with old useragent string it now shows constantly bot-checks. Weirdly, the frequency seems to depend from time of day?! During daylight hardly ever, at night far worse. When toggling UA, claiming to be FF52, and reloading the page, all is instantly fine again - even without bothering to solve the bot task. But sadly cannot find any workaround for their second new quirk, showing on my old browser search results only as mobile view, 1 column, 320px wide :( Instead of the grid view for desktops. Perhaps "mobile" is their new default layout if the screen size is 'only' 1024px...

Yes. From this page, I choose language xpi and install it in palemoon 28.5.  In about: config set general.useragent.locale en-GB.
So much.

I raised a bug on firefox before to request that pref be changed automatically, (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1356939 ) but was redirected to an older bug (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=383582), which is still there unsolved.
