Re: New Youtube Bug
Returning possibly related modified prefs to default didn't do it.
Emptying site preferences also didn't do it.
That one zoom setting that looks ok just is way to much zoom for everything else, even adds an annoying horizontal scroll bar. As said with a fresh profile the problem does not appear. CTRL + 0 doesn't fix it and right now looks like the third screen shot I posted earlier so I guess I made it worst somehow.
I'll not look into the user agent thing lihatt mentioned. If that doesn't work out I'm gonna give up and switch to cinema mode.

By "everything else" do you mean everywhere else on YouTube, or everywhere else on all domains?endemion wrote:That one zoom setting that looks ok just is way to much zoom for everything else...
If the latter, that shouldn't happen: Check that browser.zoom.siteSpecific is set to true, the default.

Did you disable the add-ons manually or via safe mode? If manually, please try safe mode because it disables a few other things, in particular themes and visual customizations.
Also, have you tried deleting/refreshing your cookies (and other local storages) for YouTube and Google?

Re: New Youtube Bug
By the same token, have you modified your useragent string for yahoo.com?
(PM already has an override set for yahoo.)

Re: New Youtube Bug
I have experienced this issue when resizing the browser window and the main youtube box over reaches into the selections on the right hand size,Only been occuring very recently though.endemion wrote:I have a somewhat similar issue. Since the last update or google's update (youtube layout change) the video is to much to the right.
If I were to clear the cache would that remove the color change memory of links previously clicked?
(that would be unacceptable as that is what I use to keep track of what anime shows I've seen on certain websites)

Re: New Youtube Bug
Most likely this is a problem specifically with YouTube's code. If it responds incorrectly to window resizes it's likely a mistake in their scripting calculating the desired size and position of the page elements.

Re: New Youtube Bug
So, is there any workaround for this? YouTube was rendering fine for me and just now it's started looking like this:
It looks OK in Chrome. I'm guessing this is one of Google's "we don't give a damn about unsupported browsers" code changes, so it's probably gonna be down to Pale Moon to figure out the rendering problem and fix it. Either that or have the biggest site on the web looking like ass.

Youtube Shifted to Right Bug
Before you say that this has been posted before, I know. I have tried all of the solutions in that post and none of them worked.
I've been having a bug that just started not long after I updated to Pale Moon 28. After the update, about two videos played correctly and after that all of the videos were shifted to the right like this: Any solutions?
Pale Moon 28
Windows 1709 Home 64-Bit

Re: New Youtube Bug
For the record, changing the config setting general.useragent.override.youtube.com to the following seems to fix it:
Code: Select all
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:61.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/61.0

Re: Youtube Shifted to Right Bug
Personally, I think the word "update" is the key here.
For a major release (such as v28), I'd recommend performing a clean install:
viewtopic.php?f=3&t=11170&p=78365#p78365
..but that's just me.
Most people will call it overkill, so you should probably check out Moonchild's tips here first:

Re: Youtube Shifted to Right Bug
about:config
general.useragent.override.youtube.com
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:61.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/61.0
It will look like the Chrome version of the website with a rather large player, but at least the video is positioned properly.
If you don't like the way that looks, then I suppose we'll just have to either wait it out for Google to fix it, or wait for someone to release a temporary add-on to patch the problem.

Re: New Youtube Bug
I've come across the same issue after the most recent PaleMoon update (i.e. the video is offset rightwards leaving a black margin on the left and blocking the column on the right). Setting useragent override to the string in the above post seems to have fixed it, but it introduces other unwanted effects. For instance, the various elements' size scaling is acting strange and the default size of videos and preview images are much larger regardless of the level of zoom. In other words, zooming out only affects text (with this override reporting useragent as firefox), and therefore the video and images are too large.

Re: Youtube Shifted to Right Bug

Re: Youtube Shifted to Right Bug
Switching to theater mode also helps. Kindof preferred but still better than new youtube.
Re: New Youtube Bug
Haha, I almost feel the same way, but not quite. The question is what happened to break the video, and why does rolling back to the previous version of PaleMoon not help.NovaDelta wrote: Honestly I'd rather have the old UI with broken video than new UI wild working video.
BTW, adding "?disable_polymer=true" to the end of the URL helps a bit, but it doesn't address all the issues. Moreover, it defaults back to the new UI theme whenever I goto the youtube homepage or click another video. I'mma fiddle with youtube settings for a minute to see if I can figure something out.

Re: Youtube Shifted to Right Bug
I'm seeing massive lag too while this is happening.
