Can't login into dropbox
Hello.
It seems I can't login into dropbox. I disabled uMatrix and tried safe mode too, but it didn't work.
I can insert my credentials, but when I send them, nothing happens except the buttons are all disabled.
I suspect it's something related to captcha, but I can't confirm it and the console doesn't really help (it mostly throws errors about ignoring content security policy directives).
Thanks for the help.

Re: Can't login into dropbox
As a test, create a new, clean Profile.
Open, https://www.dropbox.com/login
Enter your UN/PW.
Can you log in?
If so, then maybe it's a cookie (bad or 3rd party block) issue (in your original Profile)?

Re: Can't login into dropbox
uMatrix is set to delete cookies unless I explicitly save a rule in the settings, so bad cookies are to be excluded.
Anyway, I still tried and got the same result.

Re: Can't login into dropbox
It's definitely a captcha, in fact even worse, reCAPTCHA. I know. I contacted Dropbox about this a few months ago but they didn't budge (like so many others).vannilla wrote:I suspect it's something related to captcha, but I can't confirm it and the console doesn't really help (it mostly throws errors about ignoring content security policy directives).

Re: Can't login into dropbox
Yeah, I'm aware it's Google's captcha, but it works on different sites (including Google's services) with Pale Moon.adesh wrote: It's definitely a captcha, in fact even worse, reCAPTCHA. I know. I contacted Dropbox about this a few months ago but they didn't budge (like so many others).
Only Dropbox is failing.
But if you contacted them already, then there's not much I can do it seems.
Thanks for the heads up.

I was able to pass the reCAPTCHA and log in after changing the value for PM's hard-coded UA override for dropbox.
(default string = IE 11 user agent)
For the new override value...
Using PM's native user agent, or PM's compatmode user agent, or a string for Firefox 60 - all worked here. I didn't try others.
(Win 7 x86, PM 28.2.1)
Re: Can't login into dropbox
I tried changing the user agent and still got nothing.
Re: Can't login into dropbox
I am having the same problem. I used to use Dropbox but it no longer works...had to switch to Firefox.
Re: Can't login into dropbox
Is there any way to go back to an earlier Pale Moon build without losing my bookmarks? I need to use Dropbox :/
Re: Can't login into dropbox
You can go to the Bookmarks menu --> Organize Bookmarks. Export or backup the bookmarks to either html or json, and then install the old Pale Moon (after swapping profile directories out). Then import the bookmarks.
Re: Can't login into dropbox
Not even going back to a previous version worked. But now it seems fixed so all is well! Thank you (even if the problem was on Dropbox's side).
Re: Can't login into dropbox
I can confirm that on December 14, 13:50 CET I could access Dropbox.
Pale Moon version 28.2.2
I also added the date because there's not really any guarantees that it will work tomorrow.
