My Browser Builds (Part 5)

[fREAST]

I have some issues with the latest mailnews release (mailnews.win32-20250802-40a79c75-uxp-3553319265-xpmod), opening some emails crashes the program.

At least the 5 prior releases can open these emails without issues (eg. mailnews.win32-20250726-7bda12e7-uxp-7e0ddfef73-xpmod)

I can send an eml file but would rather do it in private message if that is possible.

Here's event viewer logs, let me know if I can get any other logs somehow.

I tried sending a message here but got an error "roytam1 cannot receive messages", so I sent it to your email instead.

sure, thanks, sample eml is retrieved.

and with my fix in https://msfn.org/board/topic/185966-my-browser-builds-part-5/page/148/#findComment-1281466 applied, opening your sample doesn't crash.

so killed two birds with one stone. upstream doesn't fully test their changes, and unfortunately so do I. as a result, your inputs worth a lot.

and of course please wait for next build which should fix these problems.

alright upstream has a follow-up for this as well.

Yes, they are quite slow to load or respond in Serpent 52.9 too.

Hello, i need to ask about something again. Does the paypal website not work in these browsers anymore ?? I've tried your Seperent, New Moon/Pale Moon, and Mypal 74.1.1
I've had a paypal account since the early 2010's and never had any issues with it before. But suddenly i cant seem to even get to the actual login page on any browser whatsoever.

What i mean is, i click the login on top right side of the main homepage, and get this "security check" before even seeing the email/password form, where you slide your mouse from left to right ...or do an "audio" thing where you type 6 numbers you hear. And when i click it, i get the green checkmark ...but it says "You are blocked. we couldnt load the security challenge"

And the only way i can ever try again is to delete any/all "paypal" cookies from the browser. I've tried tons of times and it always keeps saying "we couldnt load the security challenge" after doing it successfully. I dont know what's going on, but this is the first time in my life i seen this happen.
Does this have anything to do with the annoying Cloudflare crap that plagued all the browsers in recent months ?? Or is something serpent/new moon/mypal doesnt support all of a sudden now? - The last time i was able to login to my account was about a month ago or so, and never saw this happen before until now.

@kuja killer

Paypal-related issues have also appeared in the upstream forum: 

https://forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.php?f=61&t=32581

https://forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.php?p=264391#p264391

Mixed reports from various users there, probably depending on their physical location; PayPal are conducting various A/B tests, it seems (read e.g. this PMForum thread ); user at the second link I posted thinks that it's NOT CloudFlare, but a PayPal-specific recaptcha (security check) that is NOT compatible with UXP-based browsers ...

Can you try again with a fresh NM28 profile, where you block nothing?

FWIW, with my ISP's Greek IP, I can access 

https://www.paypal.com/signin

in NM28 at this very time without issue,

but, as I don't have an account with them, can't proceed any further...

[kuja killer]

Hmm i see... man this is extremely fustrating. Well i dont ever use any other browsers except the serpent, so i dont have any add-ons or anything at all with those other ones, i just downloaded them and immediately tried to go straight to the paypal homepage, and login... sometimes it automatically attaches a "local US EN" to the link by itself, sometimes not. probably because it knows i live in Arizona United States which is fine.

I did also make sure to disable all add-ons and so on with Serpent too ...tried the icognito/private window too and no luck. I took some screenshots from all 3 browsers

serpent - https://i.ibb.co/p6QhdLnF/challenge1.png - i got a screenshot when it shows the green "success" checkmark for a split second when doing the "slide your mouse left to right" or the audio one, before then immediately saying "could not load"

mypal - https://i.ibb.co/gN02BHJ/mypal-challenge.png

new moon/pale moon 28 (latest august 8 2025 from roytam1's links) - https://i.ibb.co/bRRMfGW6/challenge-pale-newmoon.png - this one somehow managed to show the email/password form at least once (when deleting all cookies and trying again) ...then it had a "hcaptcha" thing ..that succeeded fine... THEN it showed the stupid mouse sliding/audio one immediately after that....and then the stupid "we couldnt load"

I also tried like using a "latest edge" user agent just in case that might of mattered or not (on serpent) - the first one from the top of this website:
https://www.whatismybrowser.com/guides/the-latest-user-agent/edge
...that got the email/password form to show up...but it did the same thing as new moon/pale moon... started with hcaptcha prompt which goes through...followed by the damn mouse sliding one and "couldnt load, blocked"

@kuja killer , follow up: 

Some 2 hours after my previous post, my modem-router had to be restarted (details that necessitated that are OT here), so my ISP assigned a new IP address to my internet connection; whether this is somehow relevant or a sheer coincidence, I have no idea ...

Today, after reading your latest reply, I tried to re-access 

https://www.paypal.com/signin

(as I had done yesterday) with the same NM28 copy as before; and guess what? I was hit by the same breakage you reported: 

I additionally have a page header instructing me to: 

"Please enable JS and disable any ad blocker"

but JS is enabled and uBlock Origin (legacy) completely disabled; as you detailed in your post, sliding the blue button to the right (to "prove you're a human") turns it for half a second into green (with a white tick), but then the "you've been blocked" (in Greek, in my case) page appears... It is then impossible to access the proper sign-in page  ...

I opened Dev Console (which PayPal detected and did NOT like  ) : 

but nothing stands out there for me...

On the same machine (with the same IP address), browsers like r3dfoxESR-115.13.0 (or even the most current, r3dfox-140.0.4) will also be presented with the human verification challenge, but is then successfully passed, after which a redirection takes place to the sought-after sign-in page...

So, PayPal have started requiring "a feature" (JS, CSS, both) that is to be found on relatively (more) recent Firefox incarnations, but isn't found currently in UXP browsers (and MyPal); this is based on feature detection, so a SSUAO won't work, as noted...

And yes, PayPal are using their "own" captcha: 

https://geo.ddc.paypal.com/captcha?.....

Further researching this, Google have provided an alternative sign-in page, 

https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/us/home => https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/signin

which loads for me straight away in both NM28 and St52; as said already, I don't have valid credentials to test whether one can successfully log-in, hopefully it'll work for you (assuming that signing-in to "www.sandbox.paypal,com" logs you, too, to "www.paypal,com") ...

Regards  ...
