Pale Moon forum

The full link is <http://waifu2x.udp.jp/>: this is a tool to enlarge (mostly anime) pictures. Heeding its warning that the saving function does not work in Firefox (or, by extension, any non-Chrome browser), I click the ‘convert’ button; I use this picture to test. Whether I use it live from the internet or uploaded from locally, the Web page however invariably opens a new tab at <http://waifu2x.udp.jp/api> holding only the error image attached. Holding Control-S while clicking ‘convert’ saves the page’s HTML, not any image. Am I doing something wrong? If not, is there a compatible substitute to enlarge anime pictures that will work as it ought?

If it's designed specifically for Chrome then you're likely just stuck with having to use a chromium-based browser, but maybe someone who has time can analyze it for you.

Hitherto I have used Epiphany, my catch-all for anything that fails in Pale Moon, for this; it works fine there. I suspect this is just bad design where there is nought to do but find a replacement, but will wait should somebody else know what might be going on. (Its operating code is on Github and linked on the page, so I should think somebody with the informatics background and free time could in principle inspect.) Thank you all the same.

I just tried as described with the same image (live from internet) and worked without problem.

I can confirm; Waifu2x worked as it ought in a fresh profile. The issue may lie with Decentraleyes or µBlock, but is not the browser’s own fault. I may experiment with my extensions to see whence my malfunction came, but it is not a compatibility issue. I consider this issue closed. Thank you for the hint!

The solution had been known to me for some time. You select DOWNLOAD instead of CONVERT. I have been on Pale Moon for 2 years, and it worked always, including 2 days ago.
