Hi
After getting frustrated with firefox's over-the-top updates and resource hogging, i found Pale Moon, am loving it, and have even donated
However i have been noticing a few bugs and am unsure how to report them
1.After opening a significant amount of tabs/windows (say 20ish) - Pale moon often displays random black areas all over the browser, often meaning it's unusable - the only solution is to quit all windows entirely and then open again.
2. Google captcha's are frequently reporting that my browser is doing something suspicious - i always need to verify on every form, every time, and sometimes it even stops me from normal searches
I really appreciate what the developers of Pale Moon have done with this - it's a light weight browser that is exactly what i'm looking for - I want to help it's development - what is the best way for me to report issues (such as above) ?
Bug report, unsure how to let you know.

The best way is to create a topic about it, as you have just done. It helps to include support information when posting, such as your system information and steps to reproduce.Strainj1 wrote:However i have been noticing a few bugs and am unsure how to report them

This one isn't a bug, it's how Captcha (unfortunately) operates.Strainj1 wrote:2. Google captcha's are frequently reporting that my browser is doing something suspicious - i always need to verify on every form, every time, and sometimes it even stops me from normal searches

Re: Bug report, unsure how to let you know.
Point 1. usually indicates your system is running out of GDI/texture resources. Common causes for that are old or poorly-written video drivers and/or embedded (minimal) graphics chips that don't have enough shared system memory allocated to them.

2. Using Private Browsing (Private Window), can trigger that
1. I filed this OLD Bug 1108253 - OMTC: Screen Goes Black against an even older version of FF (then PM 27), for the screen going black. Not suggesting the disabling OMTC is the answer (might not even be available in PM ?) but it might point out some avenues to look at. (And at some point, in a future Mozilla version, things simply resolved themselves where the issue hasn't cropped up again... knock on...)
