I actually looked into this a bit more... are you sure this is caused by the cloudflare box? to me it seems like problematic event handlers because it seems to preload the form contents just not showing it until you click, and "unhiding" the relevant version of the form with scripting is what seems to hang the browser (possibly recursive stuff looking at how it locks up) and not necessarily the captcha in that form...jobbautista9 wrote: ↑2025-04-25, 11:41https://precinctfinder.comelec.gov.ph/voter_precinct
The browser hangs when I click on a location (which loads the Turnstile widget at the bottom).

Re: Cloudflare Verification Loop issues
This seems to be due to the way it inserts an input element, such that it doesn't show up. I was unable to overcome it automatically, but here's a manual workaround.jobbautista9 wrote: ↑2025-04-25, 11:41Seeing lockup in my national election body's precinct finder website which uses Cloudflare: https://precinctfinder.comelec.gov.ph/voter_precinct
The browser hangs when I click on a location (which loads the Turnstile widget at the bottom).
- Open the page;
- open the inspector;
- search for rv, which should select #rv-captcha, Enter twice to move to it;
- open it up, you should see <div></div>;
- edit that as HTML;
- add a space (just something to modify it);
- click away (or Ctrl-Enter), now the input element should show up;
- now you should be able to select your location.
View the source, you'll see the rayId at the bottom.Does anyone know how to get the ray ID in this situation?

Re: Cloudflare Verification Loop issues
This makes me wonder, is BSD make things any easier than linux or is it harder.andyprough wrote: ↑2025-04-24, 13:35Well then, I guess that old jackal wasn't wrong when he said, "Linux makes everything difficult."![]()
If its OpenBSD I am sure its the latter due to the constant changing of it.

Re: Cloudflare Verification Loop issues
I suddenly started experiencing issues with fanfiction.net again, endless loading loops and an unresponsive browser. Everything worked fine in a clean profile, though. I realized I was still on version 33.6.0.1, and after updating, everything magically went back to normal. Whatever workaround they implemented to support Pale Moon doesn’t seem very reliable.

Re: Cloudflare Verification Loop issues
I'd like to know how often they switch tests so I know how long to wait before trying again when blocked.

Re: Cloudflare Verification Loop issues
Associated Press at https://apnews.com/ is the site that most often challenges whether I am human with Pale Moon. Pleasingly, lately the browser (me) is passing the test every time. Hopefully, I haven't jinxed myself by saying that and the current behaviour continues?

Re: Cloudflare Verification Loop issues
I've made sure to report the precinctfinder hang and the reported looping that still exists to the CF community board for them to investigate.

Re: Cloudflare Verification Loop issues
No it doesn't
Have you tried posting in any random thread?
That's where the captcha doesn't load or it loops

Re: Cloudflare Verification Loop issues
So you confirm that you can post?
Because it wasn't working for me yesterday
Just tried going to the home page and it showed me cloudflare
It showed me the tickbox but when I clicked on it it didn't load the captcha and one time it said error
On Win7 on latest version of Palemoon if that makes any difference

Re: Cloudflare Verification Loop issues
I only get a captcha when trying to post. Allowing CF in eMatrix loads it, and clicking the box gets me a captcha ID. Inputting it has it says that my current VPN IP is perma-banned, and I don't currently want to switch willy-nilly. Though it should go through if the IP weren't banned most likely.flamelord wrote: ↑2025-06-21, 12:02

I also get a looping captcha when I try to post
I tried disabling ublock entirely, resetting the browser, tried messing with the security.csp.enable setting on about:config
Nothing helps
One time it seemed like it was gonna work because it gave me a 120 second timer but then it just showed cloudflare captcha again and it didn't show the 4chan captcha
Btw when it doesn't loop and it just doesn't show the 4chan captcha it says this
What can I possibly do on my end?Couldn't get the captcha. Make sure your browser doesn't block content on 4chan then click here.
Can I tweak anything on the preferences menu to fix the issue?
This is a question to everyone, not just you personally btw

Maybe because of my report? One can only guess...

How is this doing lately? Have you gotten things ready for 33.8 yet or close to it?
