Pale Moon, Qr Code and Video

Unread post by copymanle » 2024-12-25, 21:42

in addition to what I reported in my previous post, I’m noticing two problems that interfere with the daily use of Pale Moon on my very vintage MacBook.
• A lot of video can’t be played. with or without messages of error, whatever platform is involved (YouTube, Facebook, X/Twitter, Mastodon). I tried to fix these failures by switching the user agent to Gecko and to Native, but with no avail.
• WhatsApp Web can’t be used because its activation QR Code is not displayed, so the smartphone camera can’t detect it.
Do you think that it could be useful to totally erase Firefox (both Pale Moon and the old Firefox 46) from the HD and then make a "clean" installation of Pale Moon?

Happy Christmastime to ya all.

Hi,
How old have you a Macbook model? Some sites as Spotify(lack DRM in Palemoon) or Facebook doesn't work

Can you post some links to videos that won't play?

In practice, ALL embedded videos (reels and videos posted on Facebook, X, Mastodon, shared on WhatsApp, and videos on websites) do not start playing "due to technical problems".
Over half of the links to videos on YouTube randomly experience the same issue. I did some tests using a MacBook Pro (High Sierra + Firefox), and everything played well as usual
