Palemoon 28.14 crashes on MSN website
Posted: Tue Sep 29, 2020 11:01 pm
Hi folks!
This is just a heads up, there is a bug in the latest (9/29/2020) release of Palemoon, version 28.14,
it will crash on web sites that have dynamically refreshed content, such as MSN. If you have already
updated from 28.13, you need to open about:config, then search for layout.css.resizeobserver.enabled
Make sure this option is changed to "false". This will prevent the crash, though it does seem to
slow down rendering at MSN anyhow (from experience). Judging from the forums at Palemoon,
it affects both 32 bit and 64 bit, Windows as well as Linux, versions. Hold off updating if still on
28.13 (wish I had) until a bug fix point release is available.
