Which web browsers work best with Instagram
To make sure you have best experience possible, we recommend using the most up-to-date version of one of the following browsers:

Google Chrome
Mozilla Firefox
Safari
Microsoft Edge

Apparently, Instagram disables their more sophisticated tools with "not recommended" browsers.

My about:config reports:

general.useragent.override.instagram.com default string
Mozilla/5.0 (%OS_SLICE% rv:68.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/68.0

Moonchild, please do not curse me. This is my first post.
Thank you for this wonderful, marvelous web browser.

Sincerely in Christ,

Mozilla/5.0 (%OS_SLICE% rv:68.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/68.0

Firefox 68.0 is ancient, many years old, I'm sure Instagram wants nothing to do with it. Can you change your string to use the latest Firefox ESR version 128.0 in those two spots where it's currently using 68.0? Maybe that would help you a little bit.

Also, you can use the Pale Moon add-on Sasuga to change user agents on a per-site basis: https://addons.palemoon.org/addon/sasuga/

The instagram override is a default-supplied one that was needed in the past to make it work. If it no longer works then it needs to be updated (but I don't know to what...)

I have been having a problem with Instagram loading for the past few days. Despite clearing all the IG cookies from Palemoon. Every time I click on the option to log in I get an error message. Albeit IG works fine in my other 10 browsers. Here are some screen shots of what I am contending with. Click for lager image.

Any information leading to the resolution of this issue would be greatly appreciated. I was previously using version 32.4.1 with no such issue. I don't want to go back to the older version.

PM doesn't like the selector - here's a Modify HTTP Response filter to work around it.

Code: Select all

[["static.cdninstagram.com",["/^\\/rsrc.*\\.js$/",["matches(\"*:","matches(\""]]]]

It's looking for Firefox 115, so the override could probably be removed.

[Moonchild]

I'll remove it.

'*:-webkit-autofill' is not a valid selector [Caught in: caught error in module a [from CometPlaceholder.react] (base)]

they are now literally looking for blink or webkit. Nothing else. so even our addition of :autofill won't help because they want the -webkit- vendor prefixed one explicitly, or fail.

they are now literally looking for blink or webkit.

Perhaps we could also include this in the pseudo-classes covered by layout.css.prefixes.webkit.

[Moonchild]

Certainly an idea.
...That does make me wonder though about our new implementation of @supports selector() where the prefixed versions are specifically excluded. Should we not advertise that we support the prefixed ones as well, then? I can see the check going wrong if they use selector() to check it instead of just trying to use it.

Has anyone been able to find a viable fix to get Instagram to load? I'm using the latest version of PM.

I only know how to view it (https://imginn.com/), but not how to log in. I don't use it myself.

Thanks. I'm looking for a fix to be able to login to Instagram via PM.

[["static.cdninstagram.com",["/^\\/rsrc.*\\.js$/",["matches(\"*:","matches(\""]]]]

This works like a charm. Thank you.
