Ads do not display in Pale Moon - many browsers tested - maybe clues to fix other pbs

[pyf]

Hello,

I would like to support the Hive by displaying its ads in Pale Moon.
But whatever I do, it does no work. Even after stripping down nearly all of my active and passive defenses.

Also, I have read weird reports recently. Most notably about ads not appearing, and about long loading times of the forum page.

So I decided to test a few browsers. Results are shown below.


So far, only Opera Classic displays ads. And Google Chrome, but not always (works through Google AdSense).


It is my belief there is a correlation with the other problems fellow Hive members have met recently.

The testing method

OS : XP SP3 - 32 bits

Troubleshooter : Ghostery, with up to date databases (04/13/2016)

Browsers (tried to be sensible with the settings, and the extensions) :
- Pale Moon 26.2.1 (FF compatibility mode), with Ghostery 5.4.4.1-signed
- Firefox 45.02, with Ghostery 6.1.0
- Opera Classic 12.18, with Ghostery 0.10.1
- Google Chrome 49.0.2623.112, with Ghostery 5.4.11
- Internet Explorer 8.0.6001.18702

Hehe, just kidding about that one.
Even *I* consider it too outdated (though I could also check it properly).

No ads on both pages, fyi

More info may be provided.
Additional testing may also be done.


Hope it helps fix most of the current issues people have.

I have never heard of Pale Moon before. The only ads we use are Tribalfusion and Lijit, so that soudns fine.
