With the PM v28.3.0 update, Bamboo Feed Reader crashes

[rd14407]

Tonight I did the suggested Pale Moon v28.3.0 update, but trying to go into the Bamboo Feed Reader, what I've been using for RSS for quite a while, crashes Pale Moon.

Do I need to find a new RSS feed reader, or is this something that will be fixed soon?

For application crashes, please post the app crash details from AppCrashView as specified here:

I had used Sage reader from Pale Moon Add-ons site before and only installed Bamboo now for a quick check in PM 28.3.0 (x32, Win7).
With not many feeds added, no crash occured here.

[tooshorttoolong]

Bamboo still works for me, thankfully. (Using the Linux 64 bit version of PM 28.3.0.)

But just in case I made an export of my feeds today… (Already lost them once because Bamboo by default saves them in a *cache* directory on Linux… sigh…)

[therube]

So you crash happens as soon as you open, about:bamboo ?

(Not seeing any issues on my end.)

[rd14407]

Operating system: Windows 7 Home Premium, 64-bit
Browser version: 28.3.0 (32-bit)

Problem: Upon going into the Bamboo Feed Reader 2.3.2, that I've been using for a long time, while updating Pale Moon every time its offered, last night after the update, it crashes/hangs with this message:

Pale Moon web browser has stopped working
A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.
Please close the program.

Per the NirSoft tools, it is actually a hang, so the WhatIsHang report is attached at the bottom of the post.

Downloading and running palemoon-28.2.2.win32.installer.exe let me use Bamboo again.

[Moonchild]

Try excluding Pale Moon's application folder from VIPRE

Try excluding Pale Moon's application folder from VIPRE

Tried that, and even turning off the so-called "Advanced Active Protection" didn't help, so went back to v28.2.2.

I also spent a few minutes looking around the forum and noticed others having similar problems with this the v28.3.0 update, so will watch for a while.

[rd14407]

Seeing your advice in another section of the forum to "in about:config in 28.3.0, set dom.intersectionobservers.enabled to false" I did that, and Bamboo Feed Reader does not crash any more.

[Moonchild]

Seeing your advice in another section of the forum to "in about:config in 28.3.0, set dom.intersectionobservers.enabled to false" I did that, and Bamboo Feed Reader does not crash any more.

well in that case the unstable channel should also fix it, as will the upcoming point release and later.

[rd14407]

So now that I have the v28.3.1 update, should I go back and change the setting of dom.intersectionobserver.enabled?

The suggested update didn't work, something about the patch not working, and said to download and install myself, which I did.

So how is that setting "supposed to" be now?

[rd14407]

Answered my own question - putting it "back" crashed Bamboo again.

So I guess we are to leave it set to "false" is how it needs to be.

[coffeebreak]

So I guess we are to leave it set to "false" is how it needs to be.

From Release notes:

• Disabled the IntersectionObserver API by default while we work on resolving crashes caused by it.
