Can't post nothing on Facebook (text form disappear)

Unread post by SGvagon » 2018-12-04, 22:43

Hello, it's maybe half a year when I can't post nothing on Facebook from Palemoon (maybe from PM 28) .
When I click on text form to type something and start writing, the text form immediately disappear (image of this problem is in the attachment) . I can't click on it anymore without refreshing the page.

Thank you in advance for any reply or solution.

Btw. sometimes I can write something, but when I first paste any URL address before typing, the text form disappear again :crazy: .

What version of Pale Moon? What version of Windows? Does it work if you try doing it in Pale Moon's safe mode?

The latest PM 28.2.1 (32bit) on W7 PRO x64bit.
And yes in safe mode is the same result. It's totally random, sometimes paste URL or text working, but mostly not :-/ .

I tried PM portable, and there is pasting URLs and text maybe works without the bug.

OK more progress maybe, I strikeout the safemode in previous reply, because it seems in safe mode works too.

EDIT: So now I tried disabling some extensions, and it doing Stylish (on 99%) . I have older version 2.1.1 , so I will try newer and send results.

EDIT2: Hmm, I have maybe the latest function version on Palemoon. On Firefox addon website there is only version 3 and this version is WebExtenstion based, (I can't install it) .

This Facebook text box "disappearing" just started recently for me. As of the last update to 28.2.2. (or the one before that)
Win 10 Pro 64-bit

WORK AROUND (?): Add a photo, enter your text, delete the photo.

Yeah, that's what it's doing for me. (I don't know about the profile page thing)

But the work-around I mentioned above seems to work.
(and commenting is working)

ALSO note that different teams work on different parts of Facebook, and they are therefore not all the same. (typical stupidity)
So posting on a personal page can be different than a group page, or a business page, or a "professional" page, or an organization page, etc...

Can't post nothing? Surely it is fine to post nothing, it is posting something that you'd really like to function. Not happening to me. I can post something. I do so daily. I've never tried posting nothing but I am sure it will work too. :D

Try Safe Mode, try Safe Mode, try Safe Mode... these problems are often caused by ad-blocking extensions/scripts.

I said you that safe mode works. Maybe you're right, Adblock Latitude blocking something and then I have this problem. Without Adblock and refresh FB via CTRL + R posting text start working.

EDIT: But I must disable Adblock completely from extensions, because when I only move FB to exceptions, disappearing is back.

I doubt it's Adblock Latitude itself causing this. It is one of the filter lists you use with it. You only need to find out which one.

All Adblocks uses global Easylist filters. So this problem is maybe on classic Adblock Plus too.
