Hello

Subject says it all.

Just updated to 8, x64, now Palemoon won't start, can't find msvcr100.dll.

I did the update from within Palemoon 7

Thanks for any help or suggestion.

Another machine, another problem.

After the update and addon check I get a window with the following:

XML-tolkningsfel: odefinierad entitet
Adress: chrome://browser/content/browser.xul
Radnummer 228, Kolumn 5: <key id="key_search2" key="&searchFocus.commandkey2;" command="Tools:Search" modifiers="accel"/>
----^

When I close the window, it comes up again when I try to start palemoon.

Thanks

There was a packaging error - this was caused by the Mozilla code still linking to the Microsoft Runtime libraries, while they should no longer be needed. This has been updated now. Please download the installer and install again to have everything available.

As for your XML error, please make sure you are not using incompatible add-ons.

First issue solved. Thanks

XML issue still there!

All installed addons did work with ver. 7. I noticed that the language pack 7, of course needs to be updated.

Is there a way to start Palemoon with addons disabled?

Thanks

Did a complete uninstall, even my user data. Installed again and migrated my FF profile.

Up and running

Thanks

Okay
For your question to start with add-ons disabled: start Pale Moon in safe mode
Either from the Start menu in Windows, or by using the run command or command prompt:

Code: Select all

palemoon -safe-mode

Thank you for the answer

The reason I asked is that I can't see any program group for Palemoon, only a single icon.

I was expecting one more icon to start Palemoon in Safe Mode.

Maybe I can ask for this feature in the coming installation?

Thanks

Actually, there's an easier way.
Start Pale Moon while holding your SHIFT key pressed down, it will call up the safe mode start dialog.
