Click the "All Related" drop down, and select "Answers (4)".

Expected behavior: The 4 answers appear without the answers to related questions.
Observed behavior: Nothing appears under the question header (see attachment).

@Stargate38: Agree the Quora 'Answers (4)' dropdown menu option appears to lock-up the page... but everything else works completely normally... and all the answers can be displayed and read if expanded by clicking on the 'Continue Reading' drop arrow buttons. If you happen to lock-up the page with that button a page refresh unlocks everything again... a minor inconvenience? :)

No, it doesn't. It does not display 34 comments (all related).
And it constantly spams the network with requests like
www.quora.com /graphql/gql_para_POST?q=QuestionPagedListPaginationQuery
apparently trying to get the missing comments.

Good point, well made. :) However, its been a long time since 'Comments' were visible on Quora without signing-in... so I don't even expect to be able to see them/read them as a 'casual' visitor nowadays.

Happy to be able to access the site and read the main answers and use onward links without having to copy & paste link urls into a new tab... as was the only way to make links to other answers work for a long while. :roll:

Quora has been a PITA site to access for years... the Ads, the sign-in pop-ups, the games with adding '?share=1' to urls, then the copy & paste performance for onward links. Site is almost usable at present... aided by filter lists including, uBlock Origin standard filters, Easy List, Adguard Base, Annoyances, etc, etc. Even works, with Ads, on a new, clean Pale Moon profile.

As to the merits of the content... caveat emptor... don't bet the farm on any of it! Some gems, much dross. :shifty:

They are visible in MS Edge without signing-in.

Considering the console says:
Invariant Violation: No body found on response
It's actually very likely that requests from Pale Moon are simply blocked by the data server because "not a mainstream browser, so default to assuming it's a malicious scraper".

Maybe someone can try to get in touch with Quora asking about this? Do they have a savvy webmaster desk that's reachable?

It's working fine for me - sign-in, comments, the works. Running latest build as always.

Curious if you were 'signed-in' to Quora to obtain full page access to "comments, the works", etc?

Tested again here, not signed-in, page not fully working. Still not seeing comments with 'All related (34)' selected from dropdown menu... and if 'Answers (4)' selected whole page 'locks-up' as OP Stargate38 originally described?

Tested using OP's example link: https://www.quora.com/Is-it-possible-fo ... black-hole
Tested on default profiles and on clean Pale Moon profiles on both Win7 & Win10 using Pale Moon 32.0.1 - same results.

Works for me as well using at this time 64 bit linux Pale Moon 32.0.1 running in 64 bit linux Mint 21.1 (Vera) Xfce.

As a side note, it also works for me when I'm running 64 bit MX Linux 21.3 (Wildflower) Xfce.

Well... that has to be super weird! :think:

Quora page only partially works for me... even on new, clean, out-of-the-box Pale Moon profile.

It wasn't behaving like that before (I got all answers when i took a screenshot) but now it's doing that too... more live server editing?

The requests now come back with a "multipart/mixed" response but it doesn't seem to get processed by the page scripting that instead just fires off another request (it's actually hammering the server :P)

Probably they have a lot of caching servers and we get page scripts from different ones.
It is only strange that the problem is not observed in Edge...
