new WhatsApp Web doesn't work

Unread post by abelenki » 2021-11-05, 10:01

new WhatsApp Web doesn't work on latest Basilisk (it's stuck on "Organizing messages" screen):

https://web.whatsapp.com/

i tried inserting latest Firefox and Chrome clients in about:config with no luck:

Code: Select all

general.useragent.override.whatsapp.com              Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:94.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/94.0
or:

Code: Select all

general.useragent.override.whatsapp.com              Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/95.0.4638.69 Safari/537.36
does anyone have a solution for this? thanks.

Same problems in fresh compiled Palemoon

Code: Select all

 	Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:68.0) Gecko/20100101 Goanna/4.8 Firefox/68.0 PaleMoon/29.4.2
Change UA, open messenger in new profile, dance with tambourine - no luck.
Common UnXUL problem?

Use Whatsapp desktop and move on. Just more Chrome-ism as usual. At any rate they have now introduced video/audio calling on it, which will obviously not work with Pale Moon before anyone brings it up because it requires WebRTC which Pale Moon does not support.
