XF 2.3 compatibility with Pale Moon Browser

[island]

Is there a way to make the hover info overlays and thread previews on the forum list and thread list more backwards-compatible with the Pale Moon web browser?

How much global marketshare does that browser have?

Cloudflare's stats put it about 0.003%. CanIuse stats put it at 0.013%.

IMHO, it's a waste of development time for XF to address it. If Pale Moon's team would like it addressed, Pale Moon should address it.

I guess the market share is tiny, maybe thousands of users not millions of users.

I've found Pale Moon handy over the years; I used to use it for years as an early 64-bit browser. I guess I can't worry if xenforo isn't compatible with 0.003% - 0.013% of the worldwide market, but it seems like only a small appearance glitch with the popups/overlays. (I'm typing this message in Pale Moon to test, and all the major functionality except for the overlays, thread previews, and lightbox seems to work fine.)

Would be curious for any info on what the feature is here that pale moon doesn't support for these overlays.

Or if there is any easy tweak for backward compatibility.

Got a good response on the Pale Moon forum --

xenforo overlays and thread previews - Pale Moon forum

It turns out the issue of the overlays not disappearing is a specific combination of Pale Moon + xenforo 2.x(?) + wacom driver. I haven't ever seen a problem with a web browser css/js before with wacom drivers over the last 25 years; otherwise I would have tested more before posting it. So that's a problem that is very specific.

The black on black popup overlays on forum titles and other icons and an additional issue of lightbox images not loading on XF 2.3 with Pale Moon are addressed.

Thanks very much.

I get you completely. I was a die hard Opera browser fan back when they used their own rendering engine (Presto). When they adopted Chrome's engine back in 2013, I used their last Presto version for a couple of years, and small compatibility issues started manifesting on newer websites.

I eventually found most of the features I loved from Opera's legacy software as Chrome add-ons and made the jump to Chromium.
