I'm on palemoon-28.8.1. Any hint why youtube is telling me to update, because they won't be supporting it much longer?

The easiest solution is to upgrade to palemoon-28.8.2.1

I would argue the easiest solution is to override the useragent, which can be done on a per-domain basis with a single config change.

Goto about:config add a new string key named "general.useragent.override.youtube.com" with whatever value you want the user-agent header to contain.

Six of one, half a dozen of the other.

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?

You don't need to register on the forum to download the latest package.

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.

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.
