Usually some sites see the User String (UA) of Pale Moon and think that is not a supported browser or a mobile one.

You may add an UA site override and select some of the preset for other sites, this can "fool" the site that the browser is supported.

For made a user override you need to type "about:config" in search bar. Then look the word "override", you can add the value with the right button menu "new > string" and as preference use general.useragent.midomi.com then copy some value that you have from other media site like Googlevideos. I cannot give the value I have as my system is Windows 7 64 bits, so in that part is better you copy the ones you have at hand.

The default Options/Advanced/Firefox compatibility mode seems to trigger the problem. If you switch that to Gecko or Native, Midomi will work. You can also leave the default Firefox mode enabled, and add a specific override for midomi.com as mentioned by lyceus.

By the way, do we have a forum sticky on why, when and how to apply overrides? It's sorely needed. This is a bit outdated and probably hidden to most users (even though the FAQ seems to be ignored by many).

Thanks, I understood the reason. I will wait Palemoon updates, maybe this will be fixed.
