@roytam1, thanks for fixing the mailnews Outgoing Server settings. This app still works very well with gmail so glad to have that working again.

What is going on on Euronews? I get a page full of unreadable plain "binary" text in New Moon. Is the website somehow appified and not HTML based anymore?

Are you getting the below "consent" dialog?  Or have you at least gotten it in the past?

If not, maybe this "consent" dialog is not working in New Moon so everything else is "Googleismed" as unreadable.

change user agent compatibility to firefox compatibility in preferences dialog.

Thanks, but firefox/128.0 it's a very heavy for wnxp-compatibile computers. I set compatibility to native and add override

I agree - some Web sites work better if you report an older FF version than the default (128), as long as it's not too old. You may need to experiment with a Web site to find the "best lie" to tell it.

YouTube's comments history & live chat,

both claim NM28 to be "unsupported browser", which obviously misinformation / false claim by Google, because both of it would work if I simply override the user-agent .

To be fair to YouTube, I doubt they test with Pale Moon (let alone New Moon), so they probably don't know it works!

x.com website has a problem.
https://x.com/account/access
It doesn't pass verification,
constant looping checking if I'm human and script errors

Others also report this problem to the competing Mypal browser
https://github.com/Feodor2/Mypal68/issues/638#issuecomment-3285936356

The script runs slowly on New Moon/Serpent/MyPal, especially if you have an older PC; so the browsers time out waiting for it to finish, and give you that dialog. I'd try clicking "Don't ask me again" then clicking "Continue." You'll probably need to be patient waiting for the script to complete, and it still may not work. But at least you'll give it a chance!

and you can change general.useragent.compatMode.version that reports to websites in about:config.
