From the Toolkit Error Console:

Code: Select all

Timestamp: Sunday, 11 September, 2022 12:31:21 PM PST
Error: ReferenceError: customElements is not defined
Source File: https://assets.msn.com/bundles/v1/views/latest/microsoft.4626f586d4dcb3b6fa61.js
Line: 2175
This is a known issue; we currently don't have full support for WebComponents yet (which CustomElements is a part of). For now the workaround is to use another browser. I will also see if adding a site rule in the Palefill extension will make the site work.

EDIT: Nope, looks like the polyfill provided by Palefill doesn't work.

The developer should fix this error in a future release. Which seems obvious to me, for the browser to work correctly.

Merci pour les explications.

Thx

MSN showing a blank page instead of spamming us with disinfo in the guise of "news" is a feature, not a bug. :coffee:

In about:config page set:
general.useragent.override.msn.com
Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; MSIE 10.0; Windows NT 6.2; Trident/6.0)
Untitled.jpg
general.useragent.override.msn.com
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Trident/7.0; rv:11.0) like Gecko
also works
