Zooming in/out on Google Maps
Using the scroll wheel of the mouse for zooming in and out on Google Maps does not work any more in PM28.

Re: Zooming in/out on Google Maps
Works fine for me. Does the issue occur in safe mode or a new profile?

Re: Zooming in/out on Google Maps
Sorry, my bad!
Looks something froze, I relaunched Google Maps and everything works fine now.

Re: Zooming in/out on Google Maps
GM is almost unusable in PM 28 - v. slow to load and react. Eventually PM freezes/crashes.
Starting in Safe Mode has no effect. (GM runs OK in Fx 60 ESR).
Same happens with YouTube.

I'm unable to reproduce this -- I use Google Maps almost daily (and intensively so). it's smooth, responsive, and doesn't crash.Giraffe wrote:GM is almost unusable in PM 28 - v. slow to load and react. Eventually PM freezes/crashes.
We are not Firefox, and whether something works in an arbitrary unrelated version of Firefox or not usually doesn't help. What would help is what you haven't included: troubleshooting information (as text please, not as json)(GM runs OK in Fx 60 ESR).
Youtube also works fine here.Same happens with YouTube.
Sounds like you're having generic video compositing issues.

Re: Zooming in/out on Google Maps
@ Giraffe
I use Google Maps a lot. GM loads lightning fast. Loads in one second of time. GM never freezes or crashes. I can zoom in and out by using my mouse wheel since I'm using a desktop tower computer hooked to an external monitor. No problems using Satellite or Map View.
I'm using 64 bit linux Pale Moon 28.0.0 running in 64 bit linux Mint 19 (Tara) Xfce. The tower computer is a HP 170t model bought back in the year with 2010 which still has the original Nvidia GT Geforce 220 graphics card installed in it. Has an Intel i7-860 processor with a speed of 2.80 GHz with 16 GB of memory.
I also have a 2012 year model HP dv4-5113cl laptop computer using 64 bit linux Pale Moon 28.0.0 running in 64 bit linux Mint 19 (Tara) Xfce and it has no problems with Google Maps. It has an Intel HD 4000 graphics chip on the motherboard. Uses a 2.50 GHz 3rd generation Intel i5-3210M Processor with 8 GB of memory. I also use a mouse with this laptop.

Re: Zooming in/out on Google Maps
Unfortunately, I still have an issue with my mouse scroll wheel on Google Maps: zooming in and out works fine when the User Agent (Options > Advanced > Compatibility) is set to 'Firefox' or 'Gecko', but it does not work when set to 'Standard'. Also, the 3D feature is not available in 'Standard' mode. Any Ideas? Thanks.

Re: Zooming in/out on Google Maps
Tried again in Safe Mode and both Google Maps and YouTube were OK. Started again in Safe Mode and enabled all of 'useability' add-ons, still OK.
Enabled some more add-ons in small groups of similar ones, starting with 'utilities' that are run on demand and still OK.
Then the 'active/reactive' ones and some where it all went wrong. Trouble is, disabling the last few didn't correct things!
Closed browser, reopened, enabled all add-ons, then 'upgraded' to v 27.9.4 and sweetness and light ensued!
Is it possible to have a separate installation of v 28?

Re: Zooming in/out on Google Maps
If you updated from 27.9.4 to 28.0.0 and found you had problems and wanted to go back to 27.9.4, I hope when you went back to 27.9.4 from 28, you created a new profile. If you didn't, you may find this move has corrupted the profile you're now using in 27.9.4 and you many start having problems with (27.9.4). So sweetness and light might be short lived. If you did create a new profile, then you should be ok.Giraffe wrote:Tried again in Safe Mode and both Google Maps and YouTube were OK.

Re: Zooming in/out on Google Maps
Oops! - not a new profile. Trouble is, just as I did with Opera over several years, it takes a long time to get it as I want it.
I'll restore the profile that I backed up before trying v 28..
Thank you for the advice.
