Palemoon invented it's own layout after update (?)
I use palemoon since I moved away from the Firefox and it has been a great 'alternative'. It's actually no longer an alternative but to me it has turned the other way around. But today I started the Palemoon browser and suddenly it's complete layout has changed and I hate to have to manually fix all that (though I do not think I hav any choice here).
I wonder what happenend. On my laptop I had a beta version installed that almost flawlessly worked as the stable one so I did not at all expect the update of the next stable one to perform in such unexpected way. The main reason I moved away from firefox is that is no longer supports tabgroups. Palemoon does withy tabgruoops 3.0 and tabgroups helper. Tha last one just disappeared from my interface.
I never had Teamviewer as an addon in my interface, now I suddenly do. It changed the default search engine. I can live with that since it is not the only browser that constantly does that when it updates. Like Edge for example.
All my statusbar icons have dissapeared, I had a lot of Java icons on the left and many tabmixplus icons on the right. What is going on? I know the engine was going to a major update but the impact was very well communicated in Firefox, yet, is there any reason for Palemoon to have done a similar communication? I'm a bit disappointed. Whishing I was a developer so at least I would have been able to help out, but still very busy with what I am and for that pupose I now have to go an extra mile since I 'automated' a lot of my workflow in Palemoon.

Re: Palemoon invented it's own layout after update (?)
What version did you update from and to?
Pale Moon should not have changed your layout. It's stored in xulstore.json in your profile folder; could it be you switched to a different profile accidentally?

Hey there. Thanks for the quick reply and sorry for the delayed response to that. A mini break and festival got in the way;SpockFan02 wrote:What version did you update from and to?

As far as I know I have always auto updated this browser so the update has been from 27.9.3 to 27.9.4. Haven't had the problem before. If it would have been a different profile (I use four profiles named 'YYYPMdevicenamev0,~v1,~v2 and ~TEST') it would have been a very strange accident but more importantly, I would have noticed the older TAB's moment.
The only thing I can think of now is that it may have been the Theme (Dark Moon) that broke the layout during the update. The theme has been updated on the second of august.

Unfortunately, Pale Moon Tab Groups is currently incompatible with the upcoming Pale Moon 28, and Moonchild has said he doesn't have time to work on it. I'm going to try to fix it, but don't know how successful I will be.
I have tried Waterfox, yes. It's fine, and QuickSaver's version of Tab Groups works with it, but I prefer Pale Moon.ShonkaiDJ wrote:Are you testing The Waterfox Project too?SpockFan02 wrote:Me too!

Re: Palemoon invented it's own layout after update (?)
Hey Spockfan02. I started a Topic on Tab Groups in the forum about PM 28. (viewtopic.php?f=63&t=19840) Let's try to keep the work on Tab Groups there in the PM forums.
I somewhat agree and mostly use PM. It's my default browser in every profile. But because of the developers age when he started developing Waterfox (16 y.o. in 2011) and the good job he has already done and most likely also because of my age (I'm an old man) I really like to follow the Waterfox browser too. They are going to need some elements in their environment that Palemoon already has to be successful I am sure, but I am going to see where Waterfox will end up.
Oh. And the last Quicksaver version does work in PM 28 for me. Perfectly in combination with Tab Group Helper.

Re: Palemoon invented it's own layout after update (?)
Today the same mess up happened in Palemoon 27.9.4 as it did after the update. I decided to move everything to PM28Beta because that browser now seems to be more stable than this latest stable version. Sorry to say but somehow happy too. About being on 28 already and therefore about the good work of Moonchild!

I don't want to take the credit. Everyone who has contributed to UXP and the new milestone deserves all high praise and kudos. We -all- did this, not just any one person.ShonkaiDJ wrote:About being on 28 already and therefore about the good work of Moonchild!

You are very right. I think me as a '69 kid just loves your name and mean to write it as much as i can but that's not right.Moonchild wrote:I don't want to take the credit.

I just want to want to thanks the UXP team for the apparent great work they have done ! Kudo's to all (That should be a button)
Re: Palemoon invented it's own layout after update (?)
It seems the main problem in PM27 wasn't PM but it was the skin called Dark Moon 2.1.0. I guess this topic can be locked.
