facebook Enter-button not working Topic is solved

[catch22]

Version: 26.1.1 (x64) on LinuxMint 17.3 Cinnamon.

On Facebook typing a comment should work with either Enter or Control-Enter, right?
Here it doesn't react on either correctly - it creates a new line instead, as in a text editor.

I disabled all my addons to see which one could be interfering - it's none, so I have no idea why this is not working.

I'm new to Pale Moon btw and love it.
It is frustrating though that I left Firefox behind me after being a fan for years, just because of similar Facebook hickups.

EDIT: and then sometimes the Enter *does* work correctly so I just found out.

Sounds like your computer is not picking up the Key Up event on the Shift key for some reason - I think it's a hardware problem, as I've run into occasionally over the years; rather than a problem with Pale Moon. If it recurs - try hitting the Shift key a few times to see if that causes it to go away.

It works normal in the Vivaldi browser, so it's not hardware related.
The Shift key trick isn't working.
For the time being, if I *really* need/want to comment on a Facebook post, I open the spare browser just for that.

Welcome to the forum catch22,

Yep, Pale Moon is absolutely the greatest. ... glad you found it!

Check out this post by Moonchild: Facebook site compatibility.

If this UAO setting doesn't help try these (I've had good luck with these UAO settings):
Set "general.useragent.override.facebook.com" to "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:25.8) Gecko/20151126 PaleMoon/25.8.1".

You might also find you need to set the following:
1) "general.useragent.override.fbcdn.com" to "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:25.8) Gecko/20151126 PaleMoon/25.8.1"
2) "general.useragent.override.fbcdn.net" to "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:25.8) Gecko/20151126 PaleMoon/25.8.1"

Note: All settings are of course w/out quotes.
