While I can browse the Corsair website, I cannot register (join = rejoignez nous) on it.

There are missing JavaScript functions, apparently:

Corsair is most likely using the non-standard and strongly deprecated global event reference (window.event). That is a webmaster error, not a problem in Pale Moon.
You can enable this by toggling dom.window.event.enabled in about:config, but Corsair should simply stop doing this and use the event passed into the handler instead.
If they resist, point them to https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Window/event, particularly the big red note on top. In this case it only even exists in mainstream for compatibility purposes (it was an IE thing)

Sadly, and while the first errors do vanish when enabling dom.window.event.enabled, I still get these errors when clicking on "Rejoignez nous" (Join us):

Those seem to be custom functions. Don't know of a way to fix/work around that off-hand.

Yes, there seem to be a lot of bugs on that site (at least on its French version)... I found links with bogus https://*/fr/fr/fr/* URLs too, while only the URL with https://*/fr/fr/* is actually valid... :crazy:

Never mind, could place an order without joining (once the bogus link manually fixed)...

Thanks for your help, still. :D
