When I click on a YouTube video everything freezes. I have mouse control tho, but I can' t do anything. I' ve installed the latest version to see if things are better, but again the same problem.

SOLVED - Saving ID and password

#48 Post by davec51 »

Does anyone know why palemoon won't offer to save my ID's and passwords. Firefox always did. Is there a setting that I'm missing?

Dave, are you running in private browsing mode? Adjust this and the functionality should return..

Tested palemoon on windows and it blew FF out of the water. FF had been so slow I thought I had borked my new system already by frugal installing linux to window's ntfs partition. FF windows is not available in 64bit? How did this thing get installed to my Program Files (x86) directory? I'd already been having second thoughts about mozilla's intentions and their love affair with google. Optimization boost not as noticable in my Linux system yet install is half the size of FF (and window's waterfox) and performance is definitely not any worse. FF Plugins extensions all working!

If Palemoon doesn't start on your machine

#53 Post by anikin »

Pale Moon is developed to take advantage of newer processors in a very significant manner. If you are still stuck on a pokey Pentium III or other SSE-only x86 processor, Pale Moon will not run and that's a sign that you are due for a hardware upgrade. In such an event, your only recourse is the standard version of Firefox, albeit suffering any potential optimizations that could make your browsing experience, faster, more powerful and elegant.
...
Supported processors
The Pale Moon browser is specifically optimized for current-day processors and uses instructions exclusively available in more modern (or rather: not museum-grade) processors. This means it will not run on PCs that are particularly old by today's standards, and is likely to display errors or refuse to start on systems with unsupported or poorly supported CPUs.
Requirements for the regular Pale Moon browser are, in short: a 7th or later generation CPU with SSE2 support.
Since many people will not know off-hand what their CPU is capable of or what generation it is, here is a run-down of a number of popular CPUs around the time of inclusion of this instruction set, and if they are supported. In case of doubt if your CPU is supported or not, please find a CPU information tool like CPU-z or Crystal CPU-ID to check your CPU's capacities.

This table is incomplete. but outlines a few popular classes of processor:

Wow, nice browser. It looks like the "Add-On Incompatability List" means PM 24.7.x or less here. Slacko 5.7-nonpae + FF27 (configured).

Message to Upgrade Browser

#58 Post by davec51 »

I'm enthusiastic about Palemoon, have been using it for several month now with no problems. I have one small annoyance, however. Every time I open the browser I get a message that my browser is not up to date. There is a "dismiss" button that I press and the message goes away;.Still, I don't want another brtowser and I wish the message would go away permanently. Any remedy?

Palmoon called "outdated"

#60 Post by davec51 »

Wow, that was a quick response. Thanks again for propping up my inadequacy with your knowledge. My solution is just to make my start page something else and endure Google's nagging when I have to run across their pages.

Dave, with PM closed, extract this user.js to >> /root/.moonchild productions/pale moon/*.default, then go try Google.

If nogo, copy'n paste the string you get from here and include the PM version you're running.

"Update Browser" message

#62 Post by davec51 »

Nope. Here's the UA output:
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:24.0) Gecko/20140618 Firefox/24.0
The Palemoon version is 24.7.1 (x86).

I do appreciate your help. If I were a CEO of a large tech company I'd offer you a cushy job, but I'm not.

Gimme your pup and a Google page where this happens. Is there any reason you're still running 24.x?

OK, me thinks I can't run the latest on 528.. lib issues as I recall.

Their previous release, 25.0.2 appears to run fine and doesn't throw an outdated message.

Do you have any extensions installed?

Know how to export bookmarks?

I didn't either with that version. Either a bug or a lib..

Oh, and.. 25.1 DOES run.
