Need your kind help here:

https://www.spiegel.de/ (a well known news portal/magazine in Germany) could only be accessed by me with completely disabling JavaScript.
By enabling scripting, that site turns to https://www.spiegel.de/consent-a-?targetUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.spiegel.de%2F
where it (usually) grants access by hitting an "accept ads" button. But this button is not visible anymore.
The attachment shows my browser's window with JS on. I'm using NoScript + uBlockO. Could anyone confirm that and knows a solution for this??
Does it probably need a specific UA override?? Clueless...

Hi Roy,

THANX A LOT for fixing that annoying bug!! Everything's back on track again.

Assuming that "Bug 1156875 - patch 1 - URL.createObjectURL leaks in JS sandbox, r=bholley (f3a68da2c)" was the culprit, right?

Drove me nuts and disgruntled some others (esp. RainyShadow) during the past week...

@Sampei.Nihira IMHO warnings are a good thing, unless they come with automatic disable. They remind you that something may not work properly, better not hide them.

 

These changes will not bring improvements to the Pale Moon 28.11 project:

 

  • Changed the way Firefox extensions are displayed in the add-on manager (provide a clear warning).
  • Denied other types of add-ons that aren't explicitly targeting Pale Moon's ID

Let's wait and see how they will look in the New Moon 28 project.

I don't like notices that remind me to use extensions written for Pale Moon, even if I don't like them, compared to the ones I chose.

So I'll be ready to edit the extensions code.

 

P.S. In fact I have already modified the code for 2 of my extensions with New Moon 28.
With uBlock Origin Legacy, Noscript and Decentraleyes it is not necessary.

Hello everyone! I have two concerning me things about New Moon browser. I would be really glad to hear your opinion too:

In last days I've noticed that Youtube made another barriers to go back to old layout. For example I was using "Google bot" method (changing about:config options). It worked but unfortunately since yesterday this method stopped working. I'm curious what methods are you using right now for get Old youtube layout and do they still work? Is there any working way for New Moon browser right now or should I download another Roytam's web browser to achieve this old layout?

Second thing: Do you know maybe is there any possibiliy to change directory of saving cache from New Moon? Default directory is on my profile folder in C:\. I would like to change it

I would really appreciate your help in this case guys. Thanks a lot for help!

I didn't succeed in changing YouTube to the old layout. :no:

 

Concerning the browser cache:

In "about:config"; create a new string value named: "browser.cache.disk.parent_directory" (without the quotes).

Give it the value you want, e.g.: D:\Palemoon

Or, if you prefer the data being stored in RAM, you can point it to e.g. R:\TEMP\Palemoon with the help of a Ramdisk application.

Why not make NM or serpent like Mypal portable?
Mypal portable has a profile folder in the program location. There is an appdata and local appdata folder in the profile. Yes, there are many browsers for new portable - iceveasel, phyrox portable, or slimjet portable. You can run logged pages from a flash drive or from the other partition.
It's so hard?

I visited distant relatives and had a pendrive with documents, pictures and a Mypal browser in my pocket. I had my bank and my affairs with me. I used a foreign laptop for a week.

I run Windows XPx64 with roytam1's NM 28 64-bit browser build, and have been pleased with it.  Yesterday, I purchased an item on eBay and attempted to pay with PayPal.  I got an "Access Denied" error message.  I ended up booting into Windows 7x64 and using Microsoft Edge to complete the transaction.  Has anyone else experienced this problem?  Up until yesterday, I have had no problems purchasing items online with PayPal.

Hey Nicolaasjan! Thanks once again for you help. Your advices and commentary are gold like always. Now my cache is saved exactly in place where I need. Btw. today I've noticed that Google bot method for old layout is working once again. Maybe there's a chance that Youtube will change their mind and they'll give us opportunity to stay on old version (yeah. I don't believe in this too).

Last time I was thinking to move out into another Rotyam's browser searching for faster and better solutions for my old device. I remembered when years ago I was testing New Moon, Mypal and probably...Basilisk? I'm not sure now. Anyway for me they worked exactly same with no big differences. Always since I've found this thread and I'm following whole Roytam's work I'm wondering which from all these browsers would be the best. Well, maybe it's time to check this once again

AWESOME !!!

this is the first version since 28.1.0a1 (Sept. 21, 2018) that I've been able to revert to my preferred v27 and have Citi login work, a few other finance sites work, and Google Sheets work...

Hip Hip Hooray!!!  back to v27 as my DEFAULT do-it-all browser-of-choice...

 

ps - I do not get any crash in xul.dll when opening about:support (tested in Win XP, Win XP x64, Win Server 2003, and Win 10)...

do you have avcodec-lav-57.dll in the browser folder or somewhere else in your path?
