WTF Happened?

Post by ManaUser » 2025-09-26, 12:54

Operating system: Win 11
Browser version: 33.9.0.1
32-bit or 64-bit browser?: 64
Installed add-ons:
Exif View
GetEmAll!
uBlock Origin

Ever since the update before last, Pale Moon has been borderline unusable. Frequent crashes while navigating pages and if not that all inputs seem to lag badly (be it scrolling, typing, clicking or responding to the fact that the pointer is over a link). When I saw another update just a couple days later I had hopes that whatever had gone wrong would be fixed, but no such luck.

It's been the other way around for me. PM was never slow, but it's faster now than before the last .0 update.

What else have you changed on your setup? ISP? Computer? Firewall/Anti-virus? etc.

If you experience crashes, please follow the pinned instructions to provide crash information (e.g. appcrashview report, crash minidump (instructions in howto board))

It took a while to find, but here's the HowTo for OP: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=2094#p12010

Also, PM is still running faster for me, but I have experienced something like 5 silent crashes since I posted here last (always thankful for session restore!).

I tried AppCrashView, but it started out only showing a single entry from 2021.. Until I used Help > Run as administrator (F+11). Then it showed a dozen entries.. from 2021..

The whole WinDBG seems too involved for me at the moment sadly.
