Pale Moon 28.8.2.1 has been released. This is a minor release for compatibility with YouTube. More information in the release notes!
Great, thanks. I'll update. I can't get into palemoon forums although I registered, because It keeps throwing me 'invalid usermame/password', although the page remembers the username/password and it's the right one.
@boughtonp: Thanks, but that breaks KISS. This may sound strange, but if the browser needs something I haven't got, and an update will sort it, why not do it?

Well, I gather you're both right. The update has the exception built in. So I installed the update, rather than messing with syntax in a file I know little about
And whoever complained that the new UI sucked (= just about everyone) was right as well! But, then, it always did suck, imho. Thanks for the helpful advice. The search completion is a first for them. I would like a Censor's rating, e.g. PG,15s, 18s, or XXX. But that would mean people actually watching all the crap that's up there.
I went to some bother to get firefox-72.0.2 set up correctly, only to discover that their new settings setup meant my firefox experience sucked also. So palemoon is my default browser now.
This may sound strange, but if the browser needs something I haven't got, and an update will sort it, why not do it?
Sure, if the website needs something that a browser update solves, go for it.
The easiest thing to do is to change the useragent, setting Firefox version to four nines, and if you notice broken features that you care about, then you can then upgrade the browser.
