Hey MC, anyone, today I got some business to do, so I won't be able to download the latest beta until this evening. Anyways I wanted to know if the portable/desktop (I have both) build is going to have an update or am I going to have to download it and then copy over my profile to it? Is it the same way I did to the desktop build to get it to the portable build??

[Moonchild]

You mean with the internal updater? Nope. The betas do not include the updater.

[flaxthejute]

Just a quickie to say that the right-click problem I had with Business Objects is no longer a problem. I'll continue on with testing now...

[win7-7]

Beta 2 is working without any noticeable problems. Also all add-ons I use work without problems.

Off-topic:
However little off-topic: Could you mention in release notes webgl texture format update ( that you updated in issue 86 on GitHub) as this is important update to code base?

It looks very good so far - kudo's to you guys for the good work you do

If I go into Yahoo.com, it puts up a screen saying the browser is not supported. It works that way whether "Firefox Compatibility" is set on or off. I went to about:config and set a useragent override, and that made yahoo work.

Tried a few other Yahoos (including UK) and they all work. Indeed yahoo.com doesn't.

Yes, I reported this, yesterday. Thank you for adding your input.

@MC: ok, I did the same as I did with the last beta and all works (portable). Also, I do know YouTube was giving us video problems, but now this:

But if you click no thanks it goes to on to YouTube.


EDIT: first time thing and only when cookies are cleared. Oh, was this always the problem in the last beta? I'm pretty sure this is because of the UA change:

[LimboSlam]

Alright, well looks like I ran into another UA issue, it's that Pandora needs the Firefox/31.9 compatibility!! Sorry if I sound a little irritated (I am in fact), just could not believe they did UA sniffing!? I mean this was not a problem before, I would have known as I'm a big MUSIC LOVER! I guess I will make an exception for Pandora, actually get in contact with them, if I have time this week. Here's the screenshot:

Umm, hey how would I address this to the Pandora Team properly, there's so much about Pale Moon they need to know, but I also don't want to scare them off. So anyone have some good summaries in mind or some links explaining this issue better then what I can currently do? If not, that's ok, I'm just going to be busy this week (school is starting).

[win7-7]

Youtube seems to be UA sniffing rv part of UA. I didn't notice this before because I had UA override for youtube. I tried today without override and got same screenshot as LimboSlam. I also tried changing UA override to:

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:1.0) Goanna/20150828 Gecko/20100101 Firefox/31.9 (Pale Moon) and got same screenshot.

It worked and said: "congratulations of upgrading browser" with UA override: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:31.0) Goanna/20150828 Gecko/20100101 Firefox/31.9 (Pale Moon).

First of all, thanks for all the hard work and releasing Beta2!

I tried the second beta and uh, here are the things I found specific to PM 26 beta:

1. First thing, Google still doesn't like PM it seems. Or rather, this time it's even aggressive.

What used to happen in beta1 is Gmail and Youtube used to open fine, but Gmail always opened in basic HTML. This time, however, both Gmail and Youtube straight up told me I'm using an unsupported browser and did not load themselves (main site for Youtube and the Inbox in case of Gmail). The warnings given were the same as some other people have posted before. Just wanted to point out that it seemed more "aggressive" this time compared to beta1.

2. Speaking of Youtube, Flashgot + Browser built-in does not work in beta2 as well. When I try to download the video, it does not show up in the download list, and a 0-byte file with the proper filename is written to the Downloads directly. It'd be great if it could be supported in this version.

3. Paypal does not work and did not work in beta1 too. Whenever I try to open Paypal, it just opens a blank page and stops there and does not move further.

Next is a few things that does not work on PM 25 as well. But still I thought I should report them.

1. First up is this site:

http://www.pulltop.com/full-of-stars/wo ... #worldnext

Here is how it looks in PM (25, 26 both): http://i.imgur.com/dqzYpo1.png

And here's how it looks in IE (uh, 10? 11? Whichever version comes with Windows 7, only reason I used it since there was no other browser to compare with immediately): http://i.imgur.com/24fES8V.png which is how it should look.

EDIT: Sorry, looks like the site is loading fine now in PM 25 and 26 both. No idea why it was like that few days ago...

I'll see if I can find some more breaking stuff.

Thanks again!

.....Gmail straight up told me I'm using an unsupported browser and did not load......

I can't reproduce this, with YouTube yes, but not with Gmail.

.....Flashgot + Browser built-in does not work in beta2 as well. When I try to download the video, it does not show up in the download list, and a 0-byte file with the proper filename is written to the Downloads directly.......

Ok yeah this definitely does not work.

Asian websites always (for me at least) tend to load improperly the first time, then load perfectly the second or third time. So this is probably not something specific to Pale Moon beta 2.

Enable Firefox compatibility mode in options, and see if that works any better. If it does, please contact the site owners and ask them to support Pale Moon without presenting the nag screen

[LimboSlam]

Alright, just got done contacting the Pandora team and I'm awaiting a reply. So wish me good luck, seriously please do!

I also did some more testing, and what I found out is that Pandora only sniffs the word "Firefox" in the UA, so any version of Firefox can really be implemented (for Pandora only) Here's an example of what I've tried: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:1.0) Goanna/20150828 Firefox/3.6 PaleMoon/26.0.0b2

[back2themoon]

Just got the error below while browsing here, or when closing other tabs and landing on that page. (x64 portable)

Closing other tabs seems to trigger it.

Can't get it to open after installation. It seems to install o.k. but when I try to open it nothing happens and when I click either of the icons the message is that the link is not valid. Was able to install and open beta 1 but various links in certain sites wouldn't open so reverted to 25. Have tried removing PM folder, rebooting, nothing works to allow it to open. (Win 7 X64)

Apparently a number of AV suites don't like this beta. You may want to check and see if your antivirus has somehow mangled it.
