Latest version not renedering websites properly

Post by lmhill » 2012-03-07, 15:50

Hi Folks

I hope I can explain this clearly enough. This is with a full-blown 64-bit system (laptop)
and is the same even with Palemoon 32-bit.

It's only started happening in the last couple of days: when I open some sites I
don't see any images or backgrounds. But when I put the same url into
FireFox or Chrome they are OK. The Halifax banking site is OK when I refresh
the page, but others are not.

I'm not aware of having done anything to my system, but I have saved some screen
grabs in a Word doc so you can see what I mean - I can send that through to someone
as I can't upload it as an attachment. This file also has the troubleshooting data.

I adorePalemoon, but I've had to revert to the others for the time
being. Hope you can point me to a solution.

When did you update to 9.2 and was it working well until the last few days?

Which security software are you using? Any other software updates (inc. MSFT/Windows) at all during the day or two before this occurred?

The Halifax site will presumably be https, so that might be a different issue; URL's of other sites you have problems with please?

Hi cymroly

I updated it today to see if that would solve the problem, but no different. Using Eset security at the moment. Not aware of doing anything else to upset it, but would also think Firefox would play up too, wouldn't it?

The 2 sites I have this with (as far as I have checked) are http://vitalviralpro.com/vitalsecretsv3/login.php and http://www.adkreator.com

Thanks

Not necessarily - quite a few internet security suites have special entries for the "big name" internet browsers to work around known issues. Since Pale Moon doesn't identify itself as Firefox and is a different product, those exceptions won't apply.

I checked both and they render just fine on my end, so it has to be something specific to your setup. Try clearing your cache and cookies first and see if that helps at all. Also check Eset to see if it has perhaps "quarantined" or "sandboxed" Pale Moon or similar.

I do get an occasional glitch with the AdKreator home page when the feedback bubble comes up blank, this happens with all Mozilla-based browsers as far back as K-Meleon though. This also occurs with Opera, Chrome - must be server side. In IE 9, the count figure never shows for me!

I don't see anything wrong with the VitalViralPro site.

I checked the same webpages with ABP and ghosthery active and I see both pages well -without ads- so it should be something in your computer since my plug-ins army can broke pages if they rely too much in ads.
