Title: Anyone having problems with Palemoon lately?
Post by: SilverZ06 on June 04, 2014, 09:02:15 PM
Tonight Palemoon has stopped responding on me at least 3 separate times. Is it just my machine or are others experiencing the same thing? I may have to go to Chrome if it keep acting up.

I tried palemoon briefly but it just didn't work with some of the sites I visited.

Also I think its a horrible idea to surf the net using windows.

No problems here.  Been using it for about 6 months or so.

it freezes for me a lot.  even with a fresh install it keeps doing it.  it is perhaps one of my add-ons that isnt fully compatible.  will try reinstalling all add ons see what happens.

I have periods of freeze to, and then days without. Its all flash related. That or a page open that conflicts with flash. Its still better then FireFox which had just become a dog for me.

I don't know if palemoon supports it but you should install adblock and noscript, that will stop most sites from loading any stupidities and your browsing is fast.

I know, both are supported and neither has caused any problems here.

I think you are correct. It seems the sites I have been having issues with have flash players. Palemoon just updated yesterday so hopefully that will take care of the issue.

Do yourself a favor and install adblock at least. You'll wonder how you ever could surf without it.

It's not coincidental that "flash" and "crash" rhyme...   :old:

Yeah I installed adblock and it seems to have taken care of my problem. Again it was Flash player with all those stupid ads.

Adblock is great! It wouldn't hurt to check the extensions list for adware add-ons either. Having extensions to add ads and others to prevent them from showing is unnecessary waste of resources.
