pale moon will not open.
Hello forum.
As of today my pale moon browser is refusing to open when i click the icon.previously pale moon has worked flawlessly and is my favourite browser.
I use linux lite as my operating system and i am at a complete loss as to what has caused it.I have clicked the icon several times and there is cursor activity and then nothing happens.
I simply dont know what to do..at the moment im having to use firefox but i much prefer pale moon.
I have performed 3 complete re-installs of pale moon but to no avail...Im in the wilderness with this.
Any ideas please.?
Thanks.

Please try starting Pale Moon from the terminal and posting the output, if any.

Re: pale moon will not open.
How you installed the browser could also be relevant; that is, by using the installer, or by adding the repository and then installing with apt.

i used the pm installer.But PM has run fine previously so how would the installer be significant.?

Re: pale moon will not open.
If you used the pminstaller you should be able to simply type "palemoon" (minus quotes) to start the browser.

Many thanks to all who tried to help.

Re: pale moon will not open.
The versions in my apt repository are built in a somewhat different manner than the static version you get with the pm installer. Ideally, the end user would see no difference between them when in use, but I just wanted to see if that could be a factor.Moonraker wrote:i used the pm installer.But PM has run fine previously so how would the installer be significant.?
