Known issues in Beta 2

Unread post by Moonchild » 2016-10-10, 23:13

This topic is to collect known issues in this beta, to prevent double reports. If you find something new, always check here first.
  • Geolocation doesn't work. Issue #498.
  • Saving files from downloads where you have set "always ask where to save files" may have the file save dialog immediately close after opening on some sites (e.g. Dropbox). Issue #584.
  • "Forget about this site" in the history menu isn't working properly. Issue #579.
  • In the library window, some functions aren't working 100% (and will throw errors in the error console).
  • "Ask to activate" plugins won't show a visual cue to activate in the plugin area of the page (it's blank).
  • MSN.com and Bing.com don't like Pale Moon's default user agent and are half broken as a result. A workaround for this will be put in place since neither site is likely to be responsive to user requests.
  • The (non-default) internal PDF viewer is broken. Issue #560. This feature will be removed in the next version considering its extremely limited functionality. Issue #570.
Additional things to note:
  • Do not use language packs! They are not compatible. You can only use the browser in English.
  • Jetpack/add-on SDK extensions are not supported. the Add-on manager will inform you if your extension is of this type.
  • You may have to restart the browser after your initial update to have everything work properly due to some migration quirks.
Before reporting issues, always try first: clear cache, clear cookies, restart the browser. Check also if a new profile exhibits the same problem.

I'd say that's a feature, not an issue.

Should be by design, if you ask me.

This is not a place to voice your disagreement with features present in the browser. Please don't.
