imgur.com page link is showing blank page

Unread post by dxxjm » 2021-09-04, 16:14

Recently I noticed any imgur.com page links (not the home page), like this one for example: https://imgur.com/gallery/F2TXkXX, shows only blank page in palemoon (I'm already on the latest version 29.4.0.2). There is no issue in waterfox classic browser and other browsers. The issue happens in safe mode too.

The web console shows this error:

Code: Select all

TypeError: navigator.credentials is undefined

The site actually appeared briefly for me, but then it disappears once the error happens.
So the thing is actually there, but the site developers decided to kill everything once something bad happens, instead of displaying an error message.

See: this thread;
Imgur support: How to join or leave Imgur Beta Testers

This happens when Imgur "opts" you into their beta version, and it's controlled by the value of a cookie.
Try visiting their opt-out link and hard-refreshing the page: https://imgur.com/beta/disable

I guess this means when the beta goes stable, the site will be broken again unless/until navigator.credentials is supported by the browser.

I don't get the error that OP posted concerning "navigator.credentials"

This is what I see in the Error console for the beta version of the linked page:

Code: Select all

Unfortunately disabling beta doesn't fixes upload site.

Imgur is setting two beta-related cookies (named "postpagebeta" and "frontpagebetav2"), but the "disable beta" link only changes the value of the first one, "postpagebeta".

The upload page seems to need for both cookies to be modified (to content = 0) in order to work.
After editing the cookies with an extension (in my case, CookieKeeper) upload worked again here.

I just rechecked, and It does still work for me.

Please carefully reread and understand the whole thread (not just the post with the green checkmark, in case that is all you read).

I found the problem, The Tap Mix Plus is incompatible with imgur. I created a new profile and then restored my settings and extensions one by one. imgur breaked when I restored the Tab Mix Plus. I tried again with default settings of Tab Mix Plus, imgur breaked again. I like Tab Mix Plus because it has many features in one but unfortunately I have to remove it. :(

Wrong, that extension does not affect webpages in any way, I've been using it without issues. I'm reviving this old thread to show that as of today, imgur works fine. If you use an adblocker - be sure to allow scripts from media-lab.ai to run on the site. I looked up the domain, it belongs to a holding company that owns Imgur and a few other internet brands, so in the context of Imgur, it's legit. In addition, don't block cookies or set to use session cookies since many sites break if you block them.

It doesn't (unless, as before, you opt out of beta).

Allowing (or blocking) media-lab.ai has no effect on whether imgur displays for me.

For Imgur to display still requires opting out of their beta, and/or changing the value of associated "beta cookies" to "0".
  • To display the page linked in the original post, it's enough to click the beta-opt-out link (which changes ONE of the two "beta cookies").
  • For Imgur's upload page to work, the value of both cookies must be changed.
People need to read the whole thread.

I have read the entire thread. Several times. Tried everything. Nothing works.
When going to Imgur or trying to view any image hosted on Imgur:

Firefox = Works

Palemoon = Blank Page
