Seems to work fine for me -- do you have any extensions loaded that modify it? If you use a clean profile, is it still busted?

This version crashes at random on my machine. Especially when I do Tools -> Addons -> Extensions, it crashes instantly without displaying the extensions page. I tried disabling all extensions and restarted the browser in safe mode but the problem remains. The crash report always contains the same info, which is:

If that helps, I am using OS X 10.11.6 with a GeForce GT 540M and Nvidia web driver v346.03.15f02. For some reason the latest palemoon beta (27.0.0b2) doesn't crash on my machine but I noticed some extensions doesn't work as expected with that build so I'd very much prefer to stick to a stable build. Any help is welcome. Thanks!

Indeed. The latest beta based on Tycho doesn't crash.

I also want to mention that I tried to use a fresh profile with Pale Moon 26.5.0. Still crashes. Same behavior with the previous stable release (26.4.0.1), a fresh install with a new profile crashes with or without extensions.

what are the differences between "media support" version and "non-media support" version?

Just what it says on the box -- media support depends on GStreamer which provides audio and video decoding in the browser.

Cookies management/exceptions issue Pale Moon 26.5.0 for Mac

Unread post by silvercloud » 2016-11-24, 22:04

Hey there,

I just switched over to Palemoon from Firefox and I'm having an issue with cookies management/exceptions.
My settings in the privacy tab usually are:
Remember browsing & download history
Accept cookies from sites
Never accept 3rd party cookies
Keep until: Ask me every time

Normally this gives me result of building a useful cookies exceptions list as I go, while allowing me stay logged into my email or other sites I log into frequently. — However, suddenly, whenever I leave the 'Accept cookies from sites' checked (with the other options listed above), for some reason, Palemoon accepts cookies from all sites I visit, as well as 3rd party cookies AND adds them as 'allow' to the exceptions list! ...Er, I'm kind of alarmed by this, since I switched to Palemoon because I want to be able to manage cookies the way I like, as opposed to the way Firefox now likes.

...Did I screw up some setting somewhere?

I already checked my computer for viruses with Malwarebytes and ClamXav. It's supposedly clean.

Help?

Take a look at these two add-ons that are completely compatible with v27.0. I think they will greatly simplify your cookie management efforts.
Crush Those Cookies
Cookies Exterminator

Thanks for your reply, CraigPD. ...However, those extensions don't address my issue. I don't want Palemoon to add all sites I visit to the cookies exceptions list as 'Allow' by default, just because I need to allow *some* cookies. I want to be able to control the cookies and exceptions manually as they come up, and to decide whose cookies to allow or block in the first place. That's the point of using Palemoon for me.

Does anyone know how to fix this? ...Or do I need to go back to Firefox37 ? :-(

Hi, unless you think this is a Mac-specific problem (can someone test on Linux or Windows to see if it is the same there?), you will probably get better help in one of the general forums. Please try to keep the Mac forum for Mac specific bugs :)

You might also try the new Pale Moon 27, the 26 branch is now deprecated.

Hi Sugis,
I'm on a Mac OSX Mavericks. I don't have access to a PC or whatever Linux is, so I don't know if it applies there also, but I couldn't find similar posts or solutions in the general forums, that's why I posted it here.

Am I the only one with this issue? Is it possible that I screwed up some setting somewhere?

I don't think my addons are causing the problem, since it's doing it even when I restart with addons disabled.

...Any suggestions?

Thanks!

I tried Palemoon27, but then discovered in the release notes that it dropped the pdf viewer, which is working just fine for me, and which I'd like to keep. Also, 27 totally freaked out on me when sites tried to set a billion cookies while restoring the previous session (presumably because of whatever bug or setting is causing my problem in the first place) and then crashed. So I went back to 26.5., which at least hasn't crashed so far, but keeps flooding me with cookies.

Thanks for your suggesiton, dubGUN ! That certainly is a useful addon!

However, what I've figured out so far is that certain websites, among them: amazon and facebook (ugh!), appear to be able to manipulate my cookies exceptions list to always 'Allow' their cookies, even after I manually edit the list to block them! ARgh!

—HELP! Please!
