With Saturday's basilisk for xp build I can't load comments on some websites. Here's an example:

As far as I know the previous build didn't have this problem and I've made no setting changes. Since reading or posting comments rely on javascript I disabled noscript but the behavior was the same.  

 

 

can't reproduce. checked with basilisk52 latest build:

After some digging it turns out the firewall was blocking it. For some reason this build requires a few extra outbound connections but it appears to be good now.

Draft language packs for Pale Moon 28 (on UXP) have been announced here:

https://forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.php?p=144777#p144777

which takes us at:

https://github.com/JustOff/pale-moon-localization/releases/tag/28.0.0_RC1

As noted,

Quote

Most language packs... are not yet ready for everyday use. ... may contain various shortcomings or even prevent the browser to function properly.

These are of course installable on @roytam1's New Moon 28 builds (PM28XP pre-release builds), but be warned that because Pale Moon 28 is still undergoing many GUI changes, they (Language Packs) are prone to break with any future release :unsure::(. After the installation, remember to modify the value of pref general.useragent.locale accordingly and restart the browser, in order for the pack to be used...

In the event of a future break

1. If the browser is able to start and AOM is accessible,, disable the language pack (in about:addons) and restart, to go back to the default (en-US) localisation.

2. If the browser GUI is totally broken and won't start, then start in safe mode and permanently disable/remove the culprit LP. Or locate in Windows Explorer your NM28 profile and manually delete file "./extensions/langpack-[x]@palemoon.org.xpi", where [x] is the code for your language (e.g. en-GB), then start the browser normally...

You should keep an eye on the linked GitHub page for newer, fixed, releases...

@kitaro1 : Polish LP for NM28 ;)

Duplicate post deleted :angry:

I have run into serious issues today trying to browse/login/post/edit posts in this forum :( Links clicked take ages to load, more often than not giving a "500 Error" page...

Login in can require two or three attempts, writing a post seems to work OK, but when clicking the "Submit/Save" button it just stalls there ad infinitum (and then you may end up with a duplicate post...). I have no script-blocking extensions installed, all cookies are allowed for the "msfn.org" host , fully disabling uBlock Origin doesn't seem to matter...

While it's a high probability this is site-related (let's hope it gets sorted soon without other loss of data), I couldn't help noticing that the browser I was using, NewMoon 28.0.0b2 (2018-06-29) (32-bit) was more prone to producing those forum errors compared to, say, FirefoxESR 52.9.0 :huh:

Some of them can be found on-line, others I have picked-up from various sources I now have no recollection of; it is noteworthy that while all but one are "dark" styles affecting the look of webpages, I have at least one that modifies the browser GUI itself (Findbar on Top Right) which is now broken... :realmad: For the record, I have one "dark" userstyle, "Wikipedia - Dark, blue, simple", that is not broken and still works! :dubbio:To make matters worse, it looks as though the style hosting site https://userstyles.org is broken; when I visit, e.g.

https://userstyles.org/styles/118959/darksearch-for-google

and have that style installed, there's no indication on the site the style is indeed installed (or am I confusing this with greasyfork.org? ); in any case, don't hit that deceptive button "Install with Stylish"; you'll end up with the latest webextension version of Stylish that will mess things up for you... :sneaky::angry:

they forked 2.0.7 for the issue, you may try if it works for you:

@kitaro1

The Polish Language Pack I linked to targets New Moon v28.0.0b2 and newer:

<em:minVersion>28.0.0b2</em:minVersion>
<em:maxVersion>28.0.*</em:maxVersion>

You are still on an older a4 version, as per your screenshot...

Please update to the latest b2 build kindly offered by @roytam1 and the pack will install (but may break with coming weekend's release... :whistle:):

(And BTW, 95% of what I post about has been proof-read and tested as being valid at the time of posting... ;) )

Language error - caused palemoon 28.0.0b4. When I downloaded palemoon 28.0.0b2 - polish language pack is OK.
The problem with this version is that the downthemall extension works badly.

I was able to install downthemall 3.0.8 from the file. Elegantly he gets: D

You do realise you can't/shouldn't stay put for ever on a specific browser code snapshot just for the sake of an extension, however valuable it might be for you :huh:. Pale Moon 28, at this stage of its development, is constantly evolving - it is expected that some things will break (including extensions) while other things (e.g. page rendering) and/or various bugs are being ironed out... In fact, even when PM28 reaches a stable/release status (early autumn 2018?), we don't expect full 100% compatibility with the Pale Moon 27 ecosystem <_< ; this is due to huge changes in the underlying platform (Tycho [Mozilla 38] -> UXP [Mozilla 52]).

I only made the jump from PM27 to NM28 last week and spent several days to tailor it according to my liking; some of the extensions that were working on 27 quit on 28, so upgrades/replacements had to be found; most of all, I mourned over the breakage of my favourite complete theme, FT Deep Dark v9.5.4, but then I moved on to a similar, but 28 compatible, one, Dark Moon 2.0.3 :yes:... But I digress :P

In what exact way does dTa! work badly? More importantly, what version have you got installed? Please see relevant PM forum thread:

https://forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.php?f=44&amp;t=19494

If still on 2.0.18.1, try upgrading to the stable 3.0 branch (i.e. v3.0.8):

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/downthemall/versions/?page=1#version-3.0.8

You can also try the nightly 3.0 branch (v3.0.9pre):

https://code.downthemall.net/nightly/dta-3-0/

or even the nightly 3.1 branch (3.1.1pre):

https://code.downthemall.net/nightly/trunk/

You need Moon Tester Tool Pale Moon extension to install above dTa! versions...

(As a precaution when testing new things, always back up your NM profile first :yes:)

Regards

OT: Nice to see the forum is usable again :thumbup, after 3 days of serious issues... -_-
