palemoon browser
I am in puppy 4.31 (zigbert's Stardust 013) and my palemoon 27.4.2 glibc219 tweaked. I am experimenting the first crash of palemoon on a particular italian site:
http://www.mercatoliberonews.com/
Perhaps the site has bad html code but it correctly displays with a chrooted firefox 45.9.0 esr. I report this for Walter Dnes to fix the mainline sse2 palemoon.
EDIT: further trials prove the crashing of the mainline sse2 palemoon 27.4.2 on that site even installed without glibc tweak in modern puppies. There is a segmentation fault. Current firefox correctly displays the site.

I'm also doing a "contributed build" for the mainline (SSE2) linux 32-bit "unstable" version. This is the latest code, which will be part of the next version. It'll be posted in the Pale Moon forum thread https://forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.ph ... 2&start=20 The tarball can be found in the ftp directory listing ftp://contrib:get@ftp.palemoon.org/32bi ... ble-Linux/ Try that on a Pentium 4 or higher machine to see if it helps.watchdog wrote:EDIT: further trials prove the crashing of the mainline sse2 palemoon 27.4.2 on that site even installed without glibc tweak in modern puppies.

I hope to get a new version uploaded today. I'm going away for a vacation on the 18th to the 22nd, so I won't be around to answer questions.
Tried this myself in 4.31 on my T42 and it was fine on that site.watchdog wrote:I am in puppy 4.31 (zigbert's Stardust 013) and my palemoon 27.4.2 glibc219 tweaked. I am experimenting the first crash of palemoon on a particular italian site:

Yes, it is working also for me now. It was out for palemoon for one or a couple of days. Bad html code, I think.Robert123 wrote: http://www.mercatoliberonews.com/

Thanks Walter, I'll try your build. But the problem I reported is now solved: I think bad html code was responsible for making crash palemoon.Walter Dnes wrote: I'm also doing a "contributed build" for the mainline (SSE2) linux 32-bit "unstable" version.

@Walter Dnes
Happy news: your build is working in puppy 4.31 with glibc219tweak. New libstdc++.so.6 was needed: I took it from ubuntu xenial xerus 32 bit.

Cool thanks Watchdog thank you we can still use these old pups, because of your hard work.watchdog wrote:@Walter Dnes

Hey, all
I am running Stardustpup013glibc2.10, on an old box with a 2001 athlon processor, and was wondering if any of these modern palemoon spins will run on it?
These are the processor specs:
This old box also has 640 MB RAM
I tried walter's, palemoon-27.4.2SSE.linux-i686, from the terminal and this is what it reported: "Illegal instruction"
Am I using the incorrect build of p-moon, or it just will not run on this old of a processor?
Thank you for any advice

Hi, festus. Try one of the following 27.4.2 palemoon glibctweaked:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 621#960621
In console:
If sse2 flag is reported use the mainline palemoon. Otherwise use the sse version.
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 621#960621
In console:
Code: Select all
cat /proc/cpuinfo
Thanks for the info, watchdog
Here is the report of:
I then installed palemoon-27.4.2-p4-sse-glibc219tweak.pet
terminal returned this:
To me it looks like this processor will NOT be able to run these versions of palemoon.
Oh well, maybe an older version of firefox will work.
Thanks, again,

I think this rules out Palemoon, from what I read in this thread and in Palemoon site.
Is there any other option ?

Hi Walter - this link seems dead for me. Is it still correct? cheersWalter Dnes wrote:For Pentium3-class machines, the SSE-only build is downloadable at URL ftp://contrib:get@ftp.palemoon.org/SSE- ... 86.tar.bz2.
Go first to
ftp://contrib@ftp.palemoon.org/SSE-Linux/
then click on the .tar.bz2 file. I just did it, downloaded just fine.

Pointer to Pale Moon SSE version
HI; I do an SSE contributed build for 32-bit linux Pale Moon. See Pale Moon forum thread https://forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.php?f=40&t=13530 Note that since this is not the mainstream build, (un)installation has to be done manually from the tarball. What I find easiest is to...greengeek wrote:I would be keen to see a separate thread for an SSE version of Palemoon - it's a bit of a struggle to find which post references a suitable version for a PC that lacks SSE2.
As an alternative to a separate thread - could anyone link to a post which offers a version for SSE only CPU?
cheers!
- create a directory in my home dire, e.g. $HOME/pm
cd $HOME/pm
Download the current SSE tarball to $HOME/pm/ The current tarball URL is ftp://contrib:get@ftp.palemoon.org/SSE- ... 86.tar.bz2
killall palemoon (as a precaution)
rm -rf palemoon This deletes/"uninstalls" the local Pale Moon in directory $HOME/pm/palemoon
tar -xvjf <tarball_name> This "installs" the local Pale Moon
The basic launch command is $HOME/pm/palemoon/palemoon (YES!)
Put that command into whatever menubar/program-launcher/etc you use.

That's right; the version number is part of the tarball name, so your method works best for handling the constantly changing names. I also update a dedicated thread on the Pale Moon forum as new versions are uploaded https://forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.php?f=40&t=135306502coder wrote:Go first to
