Do you experience the same? Using Palemoon.

what is the error???

I've read you can surf their mobile page without JS. If you're familiar, is it true?

I'm not sure if something like Social Fixer would help with any of their reckless use of marketing.

Heck, this 2018 article is probably already outdated.

Yes but very restricted.

Guys, I'm moving on to Firefox. No problems with Firefox. Palemoon is unusable for me with facebook (java script errors with comments section, etc. all over the show in fact it freezes up my machine, so very bad indeed).

@amethyst I too can not use Facebook running palemoon. For about a year now I couldn't post and other features seemed to crash it. Which I believe are javascript/AJAX problems being parsed by palemoon. So on some systems I have Firefox only for that reason, because Google Drives and many of the medical / healthcare sites demand Chrome or Firefox. I dislike Chrome.....

Here is some info from PaleMoon forum

This is an old post, but latest version of PaleMoon and Java add on is never a bad thing.

Moonchild is a PaleMoon developer.

The issue is JavaScript not Java for applications.

I think of myself as a browser hound and use Chrome or Chromium for social networks. Firefox is there too for other purposes. Pale Moon is still useful. There are issue with everything by version.

Facebook in particular is piggish and not suited to resource-strapped old computing, even in mobile mode.

It also has a lot of bugs on top of its ethical problems.

Some further notes on Palemoon and Facebook. It's a fact that JavaScript implementation is not all that great, scripts run slower and generally the whole process is retarded. So patience is required, especially when you first open the facebook page. Need some timeout so that things can settle down a bit. I find that if you do that things seem to work okay and no popup warnings of JavaScript errors if you are lucky. So not as great as Firefox but still usable.
