Pale Moon 25 Major Changes, Add-on Issues

[lehnerus2000]

Pale Moon no longer supports XP installs (unless you count the Atom version).

People are reporting that PM 25 is breaking add-ons (view the comments for possible fixes).
Pale Moon 25 available now, introduces major changes - gHacks Tech News

<censored> Issues
Pale Moon Forum

On my PC, <censored> is totally broken (can't even find the button/icon)!

Also, Google Image search doesn't function properly either.

I'm going to try copying PM v24.7.2 from my backup images.
I might have to re-image my entire W7 install.

Google image search I noticed. I had been using Pale Moon for it as on Opera 12.17, I get that old design. It is Google decising I have an outdated browser. It is deciding the same for Pale Moon now as well.

I can only assume that since PM is based on Firefox, and FF is on version 32, that Pale Moon is now also considered "outdated".

It's a PM v25 Issue

Since I overwrote PM v25 (with PM v24.7.2) Google Image Search is now working as expected.

I tried dragging my Signature picture into Google Image Search.
It had no idea what it was.
It's suggestions were amusing.

I guess that Google doesn't understand the new PM GUID?

Thanks for those links.

I have an account at Pale Moon Forum, but I don't go there any more.
The first time I posted, I got into a huge battle with another member and my thread got locked.

I also updated to version 25, then lost some add-ons that I really liked... especially AdBlock and Lightbeam. Decided to do a System restore to get back to version 24.7.2 so I could use those add-ons. Now I just close the update window for version 25, but probably will bite the bullet and install the next version above 25 when the add-on issues are solve (if ever...).

IE, Chrome, and FF pretty much share the features (Opening Tabs, the design, etc.).

It broke my ForecastFox extension. Then I went out in the rain by accident. Went to the archives and reinstalled 24.xx whatever.

Still on PM 24.7.2, I'll just get around to updating sometime next year when I am randomly reminded. I ran FF 12 for the longest time until I moved over to PM anyhow.

Ain't nobody got time to be bothering with extension compatibility issues and browser ID wars.

 

[lehnerus2000]

I think I'll wait a few weeks to see if the complaints have stopped, before I try updating again.

 

[profdlp]

The Pale Moon forum is pretty decent and up-front about addressing bugs. I'm keeping an eye on that until I see a lot of "Gee, thanks!" type of posts.

I use to have my FF and PaleMoon browsers set to auto update, but lately I have since changed them all to never update. This way they STAY the same and I don't have to reconfigure them to the way I HAD IT before any such update. If I have issues then I will update as needed. My .02

I can't get to Gmail due to that SSL 3.0 issue that Firefox has in Firefox 34 Beta 1. I also can't get to it in PM 25.0.1 64 Bit. I have not tried IE yet.

gmail seems fine on ie10 :/
