Government Websites/Pale Moon Compatibility
Posted: 2019-01-04, 02:21
I am posting this as an FYI, because I have no doubt the problem is not with Pale Moon, rather it is very likely some off-the-wall compatibility problem created by either the US Government IT-Wizards, or the symbiot private-contractors who feed off them...
(Xubuntu 16.04.5?, PaleMoon 28.2.0)
The gist: When I finally got an authorization code capable of activating my 'My Social Security' account at www.socialsecurity.gov, it somehow managed to put Pale Moon in a full-screen mode which exceeded the boundaries of the display, such that certain controls (like the 'exit full-screen mode' box in the upper right corner) were invisible and inaccessible. I actually had to xterm-in to the machine I was using from another workstation and kill the Pale Moon task in order to regain control of the desktop. This only happened during the initial setup step. Subsequently, I was able to login to my account without losing control of the browser display space.
(Unless its something obvious, I don't think its even worth looking at.)
Re: PaleMoon 28.*
Can't say enough good about the Pale Moon product & project. The sure and steady pursuit of stability and intuitive coherence of the core app, and the re-establishment of a reliable add-on framework -- which respects the crucial role played by those who work that turf (FBO all of us who benefit so greatly from it) -- are what stands out most in my view.
