where index is missing on the left, missing styling in the content in the main part etc.

Below screengrab is from a visit to linked article in my dirty St52 profile:

As I already wrote, M$ want you to use [Chr]Edge on their sites... :realmad:

In 360Chrome 13 2250 M build I had half of docs.microsoft.com denied (one+ and one -), and after fully allowing this, the page is OK. So in this page all is here, if in uBlock: docs.microsoft.com you make fully allowed (green), so you see too (after first restarting this link only?..) wpcstatic.microsoft.com, allowed.

In 13 5 1030 r1 all is good on the page, yet I didn't change anything in uBlock, docs.microsoft.com has two + and one -. And wpcstatic.microsoft.com is allowed, in green.

But in 12 1247 r 8 build, in uBlock I've only one "+" under docs.microsoft.com, no wpcstatic.microsoft.com, and I'm not able to see correctly this page, like you... in Incognito window (= without any extensions) - this same...

In Serpent 55 MOEBIUS, New Moon 28.10, Centaury: "This browser is no longer supported. Upgrade to Microsoft Edge blabla..."  - I could not improve the partial rendering of the page... This same in (chrome 49) Iron, Slimjet, Cent browsers of course.

Some change here breaks the "Ask to Activate" setting for plugins in this and the following builds.

I tested this with Adobe Flash Player v34.0.0.192 (set to "Ask to Activate") and the official test page:

https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/about/

While I can indeed confirm the findings reported by RainyShadow in latest NM27:

SJ0Jf10.jpg

1. No Flash frame is displayed at all
2. The plugin permissions control icon is missing at the beginning of the URL bar

, I'm afraid the "Ask-to-Activate" feature has been partially broken even before BuildID=20210910040612 (package "palemoon-27.10.0.win32-git-20210911-8d7b56d38-xpmod.7z"); e.g., with BuildID=20210903005445 (package "palemoon-27.10.0.win32-git-20210904-d43e6f58e-xpmod.7z") I get this:

i.e. the "plugin" icon in the URL bar is still gone, and the grey Flash frame doesn't display the prompt to "Activate Adobe Flash"; for comparison, here's how latest St52 behaves:

https://docs.microsoft.com/

defaults to

https://docs.microsoft.com/el-gr/

here :P , and the page does load in latest Serpent 52.9.0; for the rest of you not able to read Greek :), the equivalent English page is:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/

The SyntaxError reported is still there, but refering to a different "*.index-docs.js" script :angry: ;
what doesn't work is the searchbar on top of that page, because when you hit "Search", it redirects to

https://docs.microsoft.com/el-gr/search

(or https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/search )

which is loaded blank :realmad:, except for a footer; again, responsible is a SyntaxError in a different "*.index-docs.js" script... :realmad:
Incidentally, I only recently mentioned the https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/search "issue" in the 360EE thread,

... 'T is the way Google Chrome devs want "things" to work now: ONLY in the latest version of THEIR browser (and forks of...);
WWW? Nah, WWD (=dictatorship)... But this discussion belongs elsewhere.... :whistle:

 

Forgive me I am using Firefox on a Linux OS, so I may be OT:

@VistaLover

I have a vague memory of reading in the past, that Flash gets different treatment compared to other plugins. It may have been about Chromium based browsers though. 

So, i also tested with the PDF-XChange Viewer plugin by opening a random .pdf google result, and from the NM27 build i pointed onwards the plugin icon in the address bar stops showing up.

Hi :) ; long time, no see (at least in this thread ;) ...); well, what is it to be startled by?
I, since long ago, consider Firefox Browser (as in post Firefox Quantum) to be a Chromium fork of sorts...
Sure, Firefox 93.0 can open docs.microsoft.com pages without issues... :sneaky:

... Perhaps you're referring to the fact Adobe Flash Player had been the last NPAPI plugin for which Firefox support was removed (whereas support for other NPAPIs like PDF/Java/WMPlayer/etc. was axed quite earlier...) ?

I think there are two related bugs here:
1. The "plugin icon" (what I called "plugin permissions control icon") not showing up in the left extremity of the URLbar (which, according to my test, precedes package "palemoon-27.10.0.win32-git-20210911-8d7b56d38-xpmod.7z"), and
2. "Ask-to-Activate" as a whole not working at all, which, as you said, manifests itself starting with package "palemoon-27.10.0.win32-git-20210911-8d7b56d38-xpmod.7z" ...

It may have been this, i don't remember the details.

I thought 1 is directly controlled by 2, just like the placeholder shown when plugins are not set to "Always Activate"... Which reminds me, i didn't see the placeholder either (i was checking just for the icon).

...

OK, tested again. The placeholder is missing too.

The plot mysteriously thickens... :dubbio:
Package "palemoon-27.10.0.win32-git-20210904-d43e6f58e-xpmod"; Flash set to "Ask to Activate"; on
https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/about/
(my Flash test page), the plugin URLbar icon is "invisible":

whereas on
http://www.snailsanimation.com/benchmark08_play.php
(your Flash test page) is there:

ahh this is an old bug that I can't find when it was introduced (so do the content of ask-to-activate inline-frame).

Well, after several weeks of reading, I finally reached the (current) end of "My Browser Builds (Part 3)!" No thanks to the forum software, which reset my "last visited" page to back to page 1 when the thread was moved this week (need an emoji for "mildly irritated" here - "angry" doesn't quite fit).

Still rocking Serpent 55 as my main browser, even though it's showing its age. Using New Moon 28 + JustOff's add-ons for GitHub/GitLab (I'd use Serpent 52, but I can't run 52 and 55 at once).

Of course very disappointed with some of what I read: MCP bullying @feodor2 into axing MyPal/Centuary and taking the UXP source repo private (now releasing source only with release builds; probably the bare minimum they can get away with under MPL). It does show that all MAT's bluster about "proper branding" was nothing more than an excuse to harass @roytam1, since MyPal followed all his branding rules and still got targeted! (Although if I were to suggest a new name for New Moon at this point, I'd probably go with Uranus, for reasons that should be obvious ;)) Even though I don't expect to use it much, I grabbed and installed the last MyPal build (thanks, Wayback Machine) out of spite.

Also disappointed, but not surprised, with Google playing "Monopoly" and forcing their "Web Components," or whatever their nonsense is called, down all our throats. Why use simple HTML when you can make the Web so complicated it'll bring a quad-core CPU to its knees instead? Main reason Serpent is looking so old these days. Reminds me of Micro$oft's reindeer games from a quarter century or so ago! Haven't started reading the 360EE threads yet, but that'll probably have to be my next task. (Now angry fits :realmad:)

OTOH, very pleased that @mixit spent so much time finally tracking down and fixing that nettlesome 23-minute (or thereabouts, depending on audio sampling rate, of all things) video playback bug! Even got the fix into the Mozilla code base, even though it's a moot point nowadays.

If I'm not mistaken (and anyone who has more knowledge, please correct me if I'm wrong), 55.0a1 is the last Gecko codebase with a possibility of being forked for XP, as it came very shortly before the Rust requirement was introduced.... 55.0a1 ... should be a little bit more compatible with the modern web.

I like that idea - sort of an XP version of Waterfox (yes, I know Waterfox was forked from FF 56) - but I rather doubt it'd help much with the modern Web. I also vaguely recall this being discussed once before, and I think it was said that FF 53 is pretty much the end of the line for XP, which basically gives you Serpent 55. If it could be done, though, it would be compatible with more WebEx add-ons, which is something, at least.

I suggest using a PORTABLE LOADER even with all of Roytam releases (similar to how my 360Chrome releases use a portable loader).

For all of Roytam releases, use the official portable version from here  --  http://archive.palemoon.org/palemoon/28.x/28.2.2/

I personally use only the 32bit version even on my 64bit systems.

Do not "exectute" the file after you download it (the file name is Palemoon-Portable-28.2.2.win32.exe).

Do not download the "latest and greatest" (it will not work on XP, if I recall, unsure).

Extract the file into its own folder using 7zip or similar.

Delete all of the files in the Bin folder and replace with your Roytam files for whichever browser you wish to run as portable.

If it's a Basilisk or BNav browser, just rename the executable to palemoon.exe or dig through the .ini and edit accordingly.

You'll have to learn a new portable loader .ini format but well worth it - I always run all of my browsers using a loader and .ini.

You can copy your existing profile into the portable loader file structure, the default profile for a NM/PM is in User -> PaleMoon -> Profiles -> Default.

I also do this for added security, my OS doesn't have a "default browser" and the OS can't open what it thinks is the "default browser" because the executable file no longer exists.

 

I used this and works! 

Though I did have a few minor issues.  The portable version leaves an empty directory "AppData\Local\Moonchild Productions\Pale Moon" or "Local Settings\Moonchild Productions\Pale Moon" for XP where I need to manually delete it after I close the browser.

Does anyone see any residual files or directories anywhere else that should be manually deleted?
