Github support for palemoon Topic is solved

[Peregrine]

I'm not sure whether this is just affecting me, but I can no longer do any commits to github (web version) with palemoon v27.9 (will check for 28 too, but it seems to affect everything). Even somewhat older versions of chrome and firefox are no longer supported.
Is there some way to get around this ?

I'm sorry but website incompatibilities on v27.* can't be solved. 27.9 is no longer supported. Please check with v28 and if the problem persists, we can look into it further.

seems it affects v27 and v28.

adding UAO seems work at the moment:

general.useragent.override.github.com = Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:60.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/60.0 (Pale Moon)

[Peregrine]

Yes, I hadn't thought of this, but user agent switching will indeed resolve it.
Probably best to do it using an extension like:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo ... overrider/
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo ... aswitcher/
(there's also https://addons.palemoon.org/addon/eclipsedmoon/ but this doesn't allow choosing between different profiles)
The profiles in these don't have a high enough version (so ie for firefox, above v60); so manual changing of the extension is needed. It's easy to do via preferences, see https://github.com/muzuiget/user_agent_ ... ference.md
For user agent strings, see http://www.useragentstring.com

After checking now, it doesn't appear to solve the issue.
The banner on the top indeed disappears, but the commit button is still greyed out when trying to do a commit.
Same goes for editing previously made github issues: when clicking on the menu ->edit, nothing happens.

Update: seems to be working now in windows (firefox), after a restart.

Did you try the native mode ?

RESOLVED FIXED in Issue #864 (uxp).

For a record: github is now using fetch API (new Request(...)). Besides User Agent spoofing, enabling "dom.fetch.enabled" in about:config in PM27 is needed.

The fetch implementation in Pale Moon 27 is incomplete (which is why it wasn't enabled by default). Even with it flipped on you may run into issues.

I don't know if it is related at all to the fetch protocol or not, but Stop button isn't working for me on the Github site. That's the "X" in URL bar (tooltip:"Stop loading this page"). Stop does work on other sites, and on github in Basilisk. I haven't and won't test in a clean profile because github (and every other site!) loads objectionable links. But the only things blocked in uMatrix are avatars and what the lists block (collector.githubapp.com and google-analytics). Didn't see anything noteworthy in Developer Tools/Networking.
