blank console

blank white page.

looking at the code it appears they are using neogoogargletml to build the whole page from a mess of a script on load. likely somewhere in that script it's detecting palemoon and stopping.

The site loads fine for me. Followed all of your instructions too. No errors found. I even surfed around on the site. Everything works as intended. Below is my attachment.

At this time I am using 64 bit linux (GTK2) Pale Moon 34.2.0 running in 64 bit MX Linux 25.1 (Infinity) Xfce. This is with uBlock Origin 1.16.6.1 enabled for the site.

I turned off adblocker. it's possible I didn't enable enough in nmatrix. I'll try with stuff disabled.

Edit: sigh... it was one of my firewall rules.. I blocked cloudfront., turning that rule off let it run it's scripts hosted there and build the page.

not a palemoon issue.. I did try my firewall before posting, but because cloudfront is not that commonly the issue I didn't try disabling that rule.

this is me handling my own security, and being an idiot.

https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/ does not work for me. Doing validation shows a very long list of errors. It only showed a blank page on Pale Moon, and on Waterfox it would not load.

Seems as if the reported problem from post #1 cannot be reproduced here.

yeah, my custom firewall rules were messing with it. I blocked cloudfront and didn't think to try turning that rule off before posting, because I'm an idiot.

sorry for the confusion. it works now.

Outright blocking CDNs like cloudfront or akamai is never a good idea; many sites use them. Unfortunately advertisers can also use the same CDNs so you'll have to be more specific with your rules.
