UXP browsers don't work. (White screen) #65

Closed tsjnachos117 closed 5 years ago

Here's the deal: there's a project called "Unified XUL Browser" (also known as "UXP"), which is basically a platform for developing applications using web code. UXP was originally a fork of the Firefox codebase, although there's been significant divergence over the years.

The community that maintains UXP also maintains two browsers that take advantage of it: Basilisk, and Pale Moon. IMHO, they are both a lot lighter than upstream Firefox, which is why I love them. They both use a Gecko-like fork called Goanna.

Unfortunately, if I try to use either browser on beta.lbry.tv, they both give me a blank, white screen. I've checked the url, and it was correct. I've also tried using both browsers with brand new profiles (just in case the problem had something to do with one of my addons), but that didn't help.

Please fix this issue, as the laptop I'm typing this on doesn't *quite*

have enough RAM to use upstream Firefox - much less Chrome, which is an even bigger RAM hog.

Here's a screenshot of what my problem is:

blank-page

I'm running Ubuntu GNU/Linux x64, if that helps.
