Hi Guys

Hi PeeBee

Am really enjoying Bionic

Have just updated.

When I click on Choose an sfs from the Official Repo., The Package Manager crashes.

Also the link on the Package Manager Introduction Webpage is button is dead.

Have disabled my Save Folder and rebooted. Problem persists.

Any ideas ?

Hmmm....24 hours later and how things have changed !

After several reboots and installing a few things as well as Firefox and Apulse,(to remedy the usual sound issues)sound only works for around two hours before a restart is required.
Changed browsers and using the stock light browser,some sites report it is dated and several important buttons in 'Yahoo mail' don't function at all.
Installing Chromium finally broke the system completely.
Now running with a backup save.

Hi Brown Mouse,

I'm glad that Palemoon is running well. It's a fine browser for general use. But currently I think it has one drawback. Some (increasingly more) websites will only allow access if you are running the latest Google-Chrome (maybe Chromium will suffice -- I haven't tried), firefox, or whatever microsoft is now pushing. Until Palemoon recently changed its code this didn't present a problem. There was an addon named 'User-agent' which easily enabled you to spoof -- tell Websites that you were using one of the 'permitted'. But, unless I missed it, an examination of the Palemoon's current addons doesn't include it.

Being able to spoof may still be possible. See the end of spiritwild's post, http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=975674#975674, which provides both a link to a "How to" and his reason, and mine, for not doing it.

The alternative is to also have an "acceptable" web-browser available for those occasions when you need it. The easiest one to set up is fredx181's portable firefox, http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=978010#978010. I'm not currently in UPupBB, but AFAIR, I have it on that OS. [Will check back later to confirm].

Despite the problems you had with Chromium, you might want to try OscarTalks' Iron, http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=1009536#1009536 or even an earlier version. Iron does support a 'User-Agent' extension.

Hi mikeslr,

Palemoon has the ability to change user agent built-in now.

Under
Tools--->Preferences--->Advanced--->Compatibility

There is User Agent Mode

That lets you choose between "Firefox" , "Gecko" , or "Native",
I have it set for Firefox and have not been denied access, but maybe I just don't visit those highfalutin places that do that.

I use it to interact with my bank even though I get the "the browser you are using is not supported" heading before I login. I remember that firefox also was not supported, just internet exploder and google

The user agent can also be done for specific websites (if needed) by going into about:config-->https://bgstack15.wordpress.com/2018/05/14/add-user-agent-overrides-in-pale-moon/.

Google sure has the internet scared into thinking they are the answer-all as they steal and sell your personal info. Piece of trivia, google has offices in bothell, wa (bot-hell) lol.

Hi perdido,

User-agent builtin. Cool

Explains why I couldn't find an addon. Rolling Eyes

So this will be the third time in 24 hours I've posted "I hate change."

Having booted into Upupbb, albeit without yet having installed the latest delta, I can confirm that both firefox-portable (which auto-updates) and Iron, albeit Version 63.0.3300.0 run well. I'm posting from the latter now.
