Final test: I compiled Pale Moon with clang/clang++ with the default flags. It works fine, no segfaults. That would be a simpler (and for me, preferred) option instead of using a legacy gcc.
Final test: I compiled Pale Moon with clang/clang++ with the default flags. It works fine, no segfaults. That would be a simpler (and for me, preferred) option instead of using a legacy gcc.
Ran PaleMoon from the Commandline, seems it to start fine but PaleMoon segfaults I when I click on any of the Menu Links at the top ( for example, Help ):
And this is the offending code in /tmp/SBo/Pale-Moon-27.3.0_Release/toolkit/xre/nsX11ErrorHandler.cpp
Code:
134 #ifdef MOZ_WIDGET_QT
135 // We should not abort here if MOZ_X_SYNC is not set
136 // until http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTBUG-4042
137 // not fixed, just print error value
138 if (!PR_GetEnv("MOZ_X_SYNC")) {
139 fprintf(stderr, "XError: %s\n", notes.get());
140 return 0; // temporary workaround for bug 161472
141 }
142 #endif
143
144 NS_RUNTIMEABORT(notes.get()); // kjh note: this is the line reported above
145 return 0; // not reached
I did find that if I first open a new tab and go to a site ( say www.google.com ), I can click on the Menu Entries without a segfault.
However the Dropdown Menus are transparent where I can see whatever is behind them but the Menus are hard to read.
Could this be the oxygen issue reported above ?
Any ideas ?
Thanks.

Reason: add KDE + Oxygen ; added PS
Did you upgrade oxygen-gtk2 to my patched version (the patch that supposedly fixes crashes in Pale Moon because it tells the Oxygen theming engine that palemoon is a firefox-derivative)?
Then I ran: upgradepkg oxygen-gtk2-1.4.6.1-x86_64-1alien.txz
And now PaleMoon works GREAT on Slackware64 14.2 on KDE with the Oxygen Theme.
Thank you for the hint, Alien Bob !

P.S. I visited and clicked around on montagdude's problem site: http://hfboards.hockeysfuture.com/ without any issues ... so far PaleMoon with Alien Bob's oxygen-gtk2-1.4.6.1-x86_64-1alien.txz Package is a keeper !

Pale Moon is very nice ( It didn't take long at all to remember the 'old ways' of setting up Firefox )
I was able to export bookmarks from FireFox and import them into PaleMoon.
And then, with the help of the Password-Exporter AddOn on either-side ...
I installed the current version in FireFox and then Password-Exporter Version 1.2.1.1-signed in PaleMoon, I was able to export && import nearly 300 Saved Passwords and Disabled Logins into PaleMoon from FireFox.
Bookmarks were easy -- Exported as HTML from FireFox and Imported the same into Pale Moon.
Posting this reply via Pale Moon ... will test for a while but so far I don't see any reason to run FireFox !
Thanks to all !!

P.S. I set up the same 17 tabs and logged into PaleMoon and Firefox on separate KDE DeskTops and PaleMoon is using fewer resources too !
Code:
PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU P %MEM TIME+ COMMAND
4975 konrad 20 0 5514016 3.149g 3.072g S 9.3 2 5.0 6:09.96 vmware-vmx
8670 konrad 20 0 3013156 872760 109396 S 4.3 1 1.3 0:37.51 firefox
8358 konrad 20 0 1846012 911776 88516 S 3.3 5 1.4 1:10.08 palemoon
Not a complete test but Firefox is sitting idle ( as idle as any browser can ever be ) but I am posting this P.S. in Pale Moon
