Hello:

Sorry ...
When I made reference to about:config it was not because it was not available, it is.

I meant to say that I did not find anything in about:config which would get the drop down menus to work as they did before.
Or get the tabs below the toolbar as they were before, the option I found on the web is no longer available / no longer works.
ie: browser.tabs.onTop -> boolean: false

---> rant
No idea what these chaps at Firefox were thinking when they made these changes, but they lost me after many (many) years.
And from what I have read on-line, it seems there are a great many annoyed users like me.
<--- /rant

I filed a question here for the tabs drop down issue: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1344723
Let's see what I get from that.

I tried librewolf which worked fine, but it has the same UI issues (drop down to the wrong side and tabs on top) which do not seem to be something about:config can solve. I will keep it installed as a back up option just in case.

From what I was seeing, there was something .js related that got screwed up in Pale Moon and not problem with Flash.
After hours searching for a clue/lead to fix it, I decided to do something I loathe: rip out everything and start over.

ie: à la MS.    8^|

I backed up my /home/user/palemoon folder and my bookmarks to an external drive.
Then carefully weeded out any and all Pale Moon related files, rebooted and checked again to make sure absolutely everything was gone.

I then copied the palemoon folder back in place.

Result?
It now works as it was working before all this went down.

Something got very seriously screwed up in the Pale Moon installation.
Maybe a configuration file?
No idea which or where but it seems it was not in the /home/user/palemoon folder.

I think it could have been some script related add-on I tried which, when uninstalled, did not leave things as it had found them.
Hence the .js issues.

I any case, problem solved.

Thanks to all who pitched in.

Best,

A.

Hello:

Indeed ...
If nothing else, true to style.  -> 8^D

Hello:

Thanks for the info.

I may just have to dump Palemoon.
One of my favourites at The Guadian is the feature "Best photographs of the day", although I can see the photos, the captions are missing.

Could you check if it is a Flash thing or something else?

Thanks in advance.

Best,

A.

Hello:

The thing is that up to a few days I did not have these issues with Palemoon.

eg: the captcha feature some sites have is not working in my bank account.

I'll check those out but maybe something's gone awry (?) with my Palemoon installation.

Thanks for the heads up.

Best,

A.

Hello:

Thanks for the suggestion, but Palemoon does not support WebExtensions.

Hello:

You're welcome.

The type of thing that frequently happens with packages from outside the repositories.

You may want to consider sending them an email to let them know about your issue.
There's probably other users affected, some may run on Devuan.

No trouble at all.
That's how the Pay It Forward system works.

Others here at Dev1 have done the same for me many times, so I try to do it for someone if I have the chance.
Usually works => everyone wins.  8^)

Hello:

Is this application in the stable Debian repository?
If it is, it should (unless for some reason blacklisted) also be in the stable Devuan repository.

But ...
Check this thread from 11/2017 at lists.debian.org:

https://lists.debian.org/debian-accessi … 00047.html

It is mid-2021 and I could not find it in the Debian package repository search:

https://packages.debian.org/search?keyw … ection=all

Have you asked the developers about the dependency and the reason it is not included in the package?

Edit:

Check this page: https://www.brailleblaster.org/docs/sys … ements.php

Best,

A.

Hello:

Done.
Works as expected.

Thanks a lot for your input.

Hello:

A decades long arrangement, if you want to call it that.
More like extorsion:

Want be able to sell your OEM products?
Then they'll have to be Windowsabled (ie: approved/tested/whatever) by MS.
BIOS and drivers according to our specifications and don't give us any of that Linux cancer/OSS crap.
Right?

And it's only undisclosed in that the public in general doesn't know the exact details, but it has always been blindingly obvious.

Hello:

Indeed ...

nemo@nautilus:~$ apt-cache rdepends icedtea-netx
icedtea-netx
Reverse Depends:
  icedtea-8-plugin
  icedtea-netx-common
  libbiojava4.0-java

nemo@nautilus:~$ apt-cache depends icedtea-netx

  Conflicts: <openjdk-6-jre>
  Conflicts: <openjdk-6-jre-headless>
  Replaces: <openjdk-6-jre>
  Replaces: <openjdk-6-jre-headless>

From what I understand, the latest (kept back) version of icedtea-netx breaks openjdk-6-jre and openjdk-6-jre-headless.

Open a terminal and as sudo/root do:

apt list | grep installed | grep openjdk-

and

apt list | grep installed | grep icedtea-

This will show us what openjdk- and icedtea- packages are installed.

Please post the result.

Hello:

@dice, @steve_v:

You are only giving the chap nut-job air time and Dev1's forum resources.
No need for that.
Is there?

Because ...
Who here gives a flying flamingo™ what the website he slapped together does or how it works?

Just my $0.02.
