Hi Ken, I think I see what was causing the problem for you at first with the keyboard-layout setting, must have to do with changing locale first.
I tested by changing locale to Dutch, then ran keyboard-layout and got the same as you described, see pic.

Although I have no idea yet what's wrong exactly (the fonts are russian (and french), I think Rolling Eyes

), an easy workaround is (to show english):

Hi Ken, thanks for the feedback, I have not much experience with Palemoon, thought it would be more light than the newest Firefox (saw some reports on this forum that Firefox Quantum uses extreme amount of RAM in some cases, even much more than Chromium or Chrome).
Could it be that earlier Palemoon versions don't have the problems you mentioned ?

I'll test Palemoon some more and get back later about it.

Hi Keniv !
Encountered all the same Problems with the new 28.x Palemoon you did.
Don't know why .
Maybe delete your old .moonchildproduction Folder and start from Scratch ????----(but make a Backup).
Maybe my Machine (single Core ---1Gig Ram ) is to old/weak to handle the " new" Palemoon.
So i simply returned back to Palemoon 27.9.4. It just flies on my old Clunker ....I am happy with it and do no longer worry about those Quirks with Palemonn 28.x.

Regards !.

Hi All,
I've used the link provided by 6502 coder an have set up palemoon but I still can't edit the names in the bookmarks toolbar. I have tried to install ublock via Tools-Add-ons but I'm only offered "ublock origin updater" (but not ublock origin) and "ABPrime". I have tried to install ublock using the methods in this link (sorry I can copy but am not given the option to paste the link). The site is Palemoon Forum and thread is "How to install uBlock Origin in Palemoon 27" This fails. I could not find a method for palemoon 28. Has anybody got experience of using ABPrime. I've not even heard of it. For me there is already a lot I don't like about 28 as compared with 27 or even the version of firefox in the first iso.

Hi keniv !
Think there is no need to update Palemoon to Version 28.3.1 (or so).
I just do not care for it any longer....cause my Machine (Intel) is not able to handle it .Just gives me Trouble .
Just keep 27.9.4 SSE..... and everything will be fine .

After seeing the audio problems with Firefox Quantum and the new dependence on Gtk3 in SeaMonkey cause multiple reports in different places in the forum, I thought it a post in the HOW TO section would be a good way to forestall similar redundant reports of this problem with Intel graphics and 28.x -- so I took the liberty of doing so. With luck, if anyone hears of a fix for the shortcuts editing, they'll post in my thread.

Hello All,
I've tried the methods to improve v28.3.1 on intel machines outlined in 6502coders How-To below.

http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=115266 .

This has made a further improvement as far as speed is concerned. However, I cannot install an add blocker. This is an essential for me. I have a couple of Raspberry Pis. Both use raspbian stretch. The browser is chrome. I have seen both .pets and .sfs for chrome on this forum. I know people don't like the google link but the version of chrome I use on the Raspberry Pi gives my a lot more control and a great deal less trouble than palemoon v28.3.1. Can I therefore suggest that chrome be considered as a possible contender as a browser for DevuanDog.

Hello All,
Thanks to further help received on the thread in the link in my previous post I've now got uBlock installed on palemoon 28.3.1. This, together with the other improvements, makes palemoon a usable browser for me again.

Regards,

Ken.

Hello, Keniv and all.

In palemoon, there is a place where you can block the external images of the
"start.me" page -- or of any page, if your computer, like mine, has limited
resources and is not so strong. Otherwise, palemoon is a very good browser.

FYI. IHTH
