It's working for me on Basilisk right now, but not on Pale Moon, I also just get the blank page on Pale Moon. I've got another site that does the same - blank page on Pale Moon, but the site shows up on Basilisk, I'll write that one up separately soon. I wonder if its all those Basilisk polyfills that are included by default? Just a wild guess, I don't know enough about the difference between the two browsers otherwise to know why they are behaving differently.

Thanks for the info. I installed the getanimations-polyfill as a userscript, but looks like it's not enough.

Same with me on old.reddit.com/login. I figured it was just another website I was going to have to use Chromium for.

You can still use old.reddit.com login form redirection fix user script. It adds working login form to old.reddit.com.

Cool workaround, many thanks UCyborg! :thumbup:

Marked as solved, even though the underlying issue remains I guess.
