I took a look at the list of sites Palefill fixes in this file and GMX mail is not one of the sites Palefill fixes, therefore installing Palefill will have no effect on this specific site.

I would suggest possibly opening an issue on the Palefill GitHub issue tracker asking them if they can add support for GMX in the Palefill extension.

GMX has removed the login box now if you arent a slave to the globalist approved browser

@ cartel

If you "need" GMX webmail because you have an account with them and it does not work anymore using the newest Pale Moon version, then you realistically have only one choice and that is to use another one of GMX's "approved" browsers.

And it is obvious to me GMX is not going to accommodate Pale Moon. This is the long and short of it.

Yes, they have made abundantly clear they only want telemetry/data-gathering browsers on their webmail service. They are totally unresponsive to communication from me or Pale Moon users other than saying "Use Chrome".

I personally would not use such a service, because e-mail is supposed to be private. if a webmail interface requires a client that sends usage data 9anonymized or not) back to the vendor while you are working on private mail, then that is pretty bad. Same reason why I don't trust working with my e-mail in a web interface that displays third-party ads right next to your private communication -- it's much too easy for your private mail content to get exposed.

There are two problems at the moment:
1) The main login page (gmx.com) is not working. The solution requires dynamic import support at the browser level.

As a workaround you can use style (for stylem or userContent.css):

Code: Select all

@namespace url(http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml);
@-moz-document domain("www.gmx.com"), domain("mail.com") {

#content, .headline, .mobile-signup, .icon-close, li.nav-item:before {
  display:none!important;
}
#container, header {
  width:100%!important;
}
ul.nav-list {
  justify-content: center!important;   
}
.login-layer {
  display:block !important;
  visibility:visible !important;
  position:fixed!important;
  width:100%!important;
  top:140px!important;
  z-index:200!important;
  background-color:#FFFFFF!important;
}
.layer-box {
  padding:10px!important;
}
.login-box{
  border:1px solid #AAAAAA!important;
  text-align:center!important;
  padding:20px!important;
}
.login-input {
  width:30rem!important;
  margin-right:1rem!important;
}
.login-input-wrapper {
  display:inline-block;
  width:100%;
  position:relative;
  margin-bottom:2rem;
  width:auto;
  margin-bottom:3rem;
}
.login-input-wrapper label {
  display:block;
  margin-bottom:1rem;
  font-size:1.2rem;
  line-height:1.5rem;
  font-weight:700;
  text-align:left;
  cursor:text;
}
.login-input {
  box-sizing:border-box;
  width:100%;
  padding:.8rem 1rem;
  font-size:1.2rem;
  line-height:2rem;
  border:1px solid #aaa;
  border-radius:.4rem;
  background-color:#fff;
  height:3.8rem
}
button.login-submit {
  width:auto!important;
}
.cannot-login {
  font-size: 12px!important;
  color:#222222!important;
  text-align: center!important;
  text-decoration-line: underline!important;
}
/*--- mail.com only ---*/
.keep-login, .premium-login {
  padding-left: 20px!important;
  font-size: 12px!important;
  color:#222222!important;
  text-align: center!important;
  text-decoration-line: underline!important;
}
}

The main style element is:

Code: Select all

.login-layer {
  display:block !important;
  visibility:visible !important;
  position:fixed!important;
  width:100%!important;
  top:140px!important;
  z-index:200!important;
  background-color:#FFFFFF!important;
}
This is what makes the login form visible. The rest is cosmetic.


2) The full version of mail (not lightmailer) requires customElement support.
This is completely solved in 32.1.0 beta (and expected in release)
