Malware site behavior?
If you go to http: // hamradiooutlet . com you get a malware popup that somehow takes over all of Pale Moon. You can't close that tab, select other tabs, or shut down the browser without using the Task Manager or risk clicking on the malware popup. So if you happen across one of these sites, and have dozens of tabs open, you lose all your tabs as you have to force close Pale Moon. I know Pale Moon doesn't "sandbox" tabs but wonder if that webpage is taking advantage of an exploit that can be corrected?

Use the right URL...
If you are looking for the company Hamradio Outlet, which is selling amateur radios, then the correct URL is: http://www.hamradio.com/

Re: Malware site behavior?
@hackerman1 I figured that out. But obviously mis-typing (or mis-remembering) URLs is a fairly common thing. The issue isn't how I got to that site, but how Pale Moon behaves once there. Opera and Vivaldi, for example, do not have to be force closed and you don't lose your other sessions. If this is something that can be fixed in Pale Moon it seems worth a look.

Re: Malware site behavior?
Yes, it is.
I made the same mistake myself, last year...
I assume that you are allowing javascript in Pale Moon ?
I have no problems with Pale Moon when that URL is redirecting to another webbsite.
I am using NoScript, which blocks javascript...
So there already is a solution, don´t allow javascript everywhere...

Re: Malware site behavior?
What exactly does it do? I ask because Pale Moon does have a number of measures to prevent denial of service by malicious scripting.
