Does Pale Moon 32·1 reset the browser to show the home page at launch?

Unread post by Mæstro » 2023-03-28, 15:31

My first sign that something had changed was when I had lost my queue (a dozen pages) on launching Pale Moon some days ago. Not being able to remember most of what these were, I have come to little hurt for that. Since then, I have always got Mojeek on opening Pale Moon, not my tabs from the night before. Going into the preferences menu reveals that the setting was indeed to show my homepage on launch. I have set it back to restore my last session, as it had been before. Was this setting override meant to accompany v32·1, included by mistake or had I somehow toggled this by chance about the same time?

Nothing was changed in that respect and we certainly don't just change user-set preferences.

I must have switched it by mistake, then. I would have been quite surprised if it were deliberately overridden, and was naming that for completeness. The accidental toggle was the only other reason I could suppose.
No worries: all is in order. :wave:

And that's actually something rare these days with every software/website developer deciding they know what's best for their users and breaking things with every update. I think that's one reason many people are paranoid about upgrading PM and breaking their extensions because they're so accustomed to it happening in Chromezilla land.
