Works for me in Basilisk, see attached. But that seems to be because I have the github-wc-polyfill plugin installed, link to khronosschoty's plugin version here:

Also necessary for correct display of github websites.

Works fine on my Basilisk 2022.03.30, and my SeaMonkey 2.53.11.1.

Marionette support has been removed, according to the release notes. Is there another way to script browser actions, or is that capability just gone?

It occurs to me that I should be able to just use Marionette on a dedicated Basilisk instance for browser-scripting.

Basilisk isn't stable enough yet to replace Pale Moon as my personal web browser, but the last time I tried it it was quite a bit more stable than Firefox. That should be fine for scripting.

New JIRA started misbehaving badly under Pale Moon v29, so I finally bit the bullet and updated to v31.

JIRA still misbehaves under v31 (when I write a comment or create a new ticket, Pale Moon starts run-away RAM consumption and will consume all available memory+swap and crash if I don't close the tab immediately), but on the other hand some other websites which had been misbehaving less intensely are quite well-behaved now.

Github doesn't work any better or worse under v31 than it did under v29. Still marginally broken.

Overall it seems quite stable, as long as I keep closing+reopening JIRA tabs.

I tried Firefox for JIRA and it does the same thing, so I might try installing chromium (ugh) for JIRA use only.

Have you tried Vivaldi? It is a chrome clone.

Reluctantly, I've decided to "retire" Pale Moon. There are a few sites I visit on a regular basis that it cannot display properly and lately it has been locking up the system. I've been keeping notes and in all the recent system freezes, I was using Pale Moon at the time (with various kernels). I'm using Firefox at the moment trying to reproduce the problem, but so far, no freezes.
So, it appears Firefox and, on occasion, Vivaldi are my browsers of choice.
If Vivaldi would identify itself as Vivaldi, instead of Chrome, I would use it most of the time.
Some browsers ID as another browser, but then have a sub-heading, for example,
Quote:
Your web browser looks like:
Firefox on Linux
But it's announcing that it's:
Pale Moon 31.1 on Linux
If Vivaldi would do that I would switch to it immediately.

I experienced that and disabled theses options: in Content Preferences, disable Video and Media Formats. I think PM is not able to support huge load of video contents etc.

That seems to have helped.
Thanks.
However, that makes Pale Moon a "limited use" browser.
Between Firefox, Pale Moon and Vivaldi, Firefox is the one that always "just works" with every web site I visit. Therein is the answer, I guess.


Edit in: Spoke too soon. Used Pale Moon to visit https://www.wunderground.com/
and it locked up the system exactly like it did the last time.
A green privacy notice will come up at the bottom of the screen and when I click on the X in the upper right-hand corner of the green box, the system freezes.
Back to Firefox for most places and Vivaldi for the rest.

For the record, Cwiz, I followed that link to Weather Underground using Pale Moon 31.1.0 and got no lock-ups.

However, all I did get was a "warning" that states:
Quote:
Your browser cookies are currently disabled or blocked. In order to use our website and functionalities, you need to enable or unblock cookies.
So, I made a temporary exception and allowed the cookies from wunderground.com. After that, all worked fine.

Anyway, my guess would be that there is some malformed javascript on their site. In addition to scripts from wunderground.com and weather.com, the site attempts to run scripts from the domains amplitude.com, scorecardresearch.com, and instana.io. Before condemning Pale Moon on this one, I'd try blocking the scripts from all the extraneous 3rd parties to see if that solves your lock-up issues.

If that doesn't work, then I'd say that there probably is some fundamental incompatibility between the scripts employed by wunderground and Pale Moon's JS-engine. (I'm skeptical of this, however, as I surfed around their site for about 10 minutes without issue.)

I've encountered a small number of sites where this happens. For example, 95% of the fidelity.com site works perfectly in PM. However, clicking on certain links (like "Positions") within the Fidelity site causes PM to fully lock up. Other PM users have reported the same thing. From the PM forum:
Quote:
In my recent experience (3-4 months), the fidelity.com website itself works ok with Pale Moon, and there's no problem logging in or using most of the site's functions.
The specific problem I've had relates to the site's "Positions" page, which shows all of the user's holdings and permits you to click to get various types of information about each of them...
