Update Notice:
- You may delete file named icudt*.dat inside program folder when updating from old releases.

* Notice: From now on, UXP rev will point to `custom` branch of my UXP repo instead of MCP UXP repo, while "official UXP changes" shows only `tracking` branch changes.

I think the notice should be changed from "From now on" to "Since *date*"

[roytam1]

just found UXP rev 5e8e1208 may cause some UI glitches, and workaround in both ways are committed.

First of all: A big thank-you for your great work! New Moon of 26Jul2025 crashes when www.rt.com is loaded, tested with both the 32bit and SSE versions, Serpent of 26Jun2025 does not crash. When JavaScript is disabled with NoScript v5.1.9, New Moon does not crash.

[Mathwiz]

Interesting find. Can you narrow down the version that broke rt.com? There are only three versions in between.

Also send a screen shot of the crash notification, so folks have some idea where the breakage is.

And last but not least, if possible try rt.com on the latest official Basilisk (requires Win 7 so you may have to borrow a PC). Of course official releases are somewhat behind these test releases, so it may work there; but if it doesn't you can report it to @basilisk-dev and help more users.

I don't update that often. The previous version of New Moon I have been using until today was the release of 17May2025. I just re-installed it, the release of 17May2025 doesn't crash, while the release of 26Jul2025 does crash at www.rt.com.

This is the error msg I get with www.rt.com under the release of 26Jul2025:

"palemoon.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience. ... Please tell Microsoft about the problem.
Details: Appname: palemoon.exe AppVer 4.8.7.8956 ModName: xul.dll  ModVer 4.8.7.8956 Offset: 006eccac

The following files will be included in this error report:
C:\DOCUME~1\Expert\LOCALS~1\Temp\5b61_appcompat.txt"

So something doesn't seem to run under WinXP. Serpent of 26Jul2025, in contrast, does work OK with www.rt.com.
