Pale Moon 27.8.4 and reCAPTCHA

Unread post by hippieelmo » 2020-05-17, 18:01

Just downloaded Pale Moon 27.8.4 and installed on my Panasonic CF-28 running AntiX. I'm new to Pale Moon..

Every website that I go to with a reCAPTCHA "I'm not a robot", I'm unable to click on the box. I have cleared all the google cookies and I'm not running add on with Pale Moon. How can I fix this?

Pale Moon 27 is not supported.
If you can't run a recent version then you will have to look for other browsers. There are a few forks of Pale Moon out there that might help you.

It might help to create a boolean preference in about:config -- dom.messageChannel.enabled = true .
See this post.

Since the laptop only has a PIII 800mhz, I tried all the browsers that were in the AntiX repository but none of them would run. It says that this Pale Moon version of non sse2, not sure what they means.


I added dom.messageChannel.enabled = true to about:config and that fixed the problem.

Thanks :thumbup:

Pale Moon's system requirements specify a processor that supports the SSE2 instruction set, which means one that was made within the last 20 years :roll:

Just a FYI: If the AntiX build is made without SSE2 support then they aren't following the recommended build configuration.
The resulting binary may have some broken functionality as a result because we simply don't take it into account anymore in our development (and shouldn't be using official branding, if they are).
