Sync option missing on Linux version?

Unread post by BookMark » 2017-11-10, 18:11

I have just installed v 27.6 on Ubuntu 16.04 (the Steve Pusser package). This is a new Ubuntu installation, that has not had Pale Moon on it before. When I try to Set Up Sync and choose "I Have an Account" - it goes immediately to the Sign In page and does not generate the usual 12 character code. Within the past 2 weeks, I installed v 27.5 on Win 7 and Sync provided the 12 digit code OK. Is there any known issue on Linux, or with v 27.6, or any way to force it to not skip the code generation box?

This appears to be a bug in 27.6. I tried downloading 27.6 directly from Pale Moon, and found the same issue. Next I downloaded 27.5.1 from the archive site and it worked perfectly, displaying the 3 boxes containing the 12-digit code.

It's not so much a bug in the browser as it is a bug in the new domain infrastructure I'm moving sync over to. Some DNS records were missing for the key server which is used for this 12-digit code, which I've now added. Please try again.

Thanks, Moonchild. It's working correctly now. :thumbup:
