I've seen this before though, where I couldn't view a Mypal information page using Mypal. (same in 360Chrome this time).

If the profile parameter works, which profile to use? The new install of V.13.7b created 4 Profiles;
C:\Documents and Settings\Wolf\Application Data\Mypal68\Profiles\0np3l4gf.default-default
C:\Documents and Settings\Wolf\Application Data\Mypal68\Profiles\arc39gc6.default
C:\Documents and Settings\Wolf\Local Settings\Application Data\Mypal68\Profiles\0np3l4gf.default-default
C:\Documents and Settings\Wolf\Local Settings\Application Data\Mypal68\Profiles\arc39gc6.default

Hmmmm.... on the previous install of V.14 there are only 2 Profiles;
C:\Documents and Settings\Wolf\Application Data\Mypal68.14\Profiles\ogd2xe4r.default-default
C:\Documents and Settings\Wolf\Local Settings\Application Data\Mypal68.14\Profiles\ogd2xe4r.default-default

Could the 2 missing "default" Profiles have something to do with sluggish performance issues on other programs while the browser is open?
 
It sounds like you're getting better performance on a fresh install, so I figure you'd create fresh profiles as well. Yeah Github has known bugs preventing Mypal from displaying the site properly, that's why I copied and pasted the content for everyone. I used Thorium122 on XP to load it, and it also works on Firefox115 in my Win7 VM.

I don't know why Gecko browsers create so many profiles so often, and with such long names; it's always annoyed me, but since it's buried under many parent folders I often peacefully forget about it :)
 
Mypal-78.0.1 (32 bit) is a fast browser that crashes a lot on my machine.

It's not a portable browser. Fresh install will create two "MyPal68" profile directories as usual in Docs&Settings. If you instead run it with existing "MyPal68" profile directories, they will be modified and become unusable for the previous version. Also, it did not automatically use a previous profile. I had to make the previous profile Default manually.

Even though my existing directories only had one Profile each, Mypal78 (about:profiles) gave me a choice of 4, only 2 of which actually had files listed. That's kinda weird.

Clicking on bookmarks seemed to open tabs and load pages much faster than previous versions, and when trying to comment on Disqus or Youtube pages I noticed that all pages now were implementing a spell checker where some had not in the past. This is where the problems started however. Going back to correct any misspellings always crashed the browser. Didn't matter if I double clicked on a word to bring up a dictionary, or moved the cursor to correct a wrong character.

I did visit a Mypal Github page, and as before couldn't see the whole page. Not sure how someone is supposed to report issues with a browser that doesn't even display the programmers web site.
 
Thanks for sharing! I'll be watching eagerly to see other users report their experiences, since I hope it's not a bad RAM stick, etc in your computer. I still consider my 68.12 plenty fast enough, so I'll stick with that for day-to-day usage.
 
I see there is now a "bugfix" V.78.0.2 available. With previous versions I've played with both the SSE & non-SSE versions, but I'm really not sure which one would be recommended for my machine.

WinXP Pro 32
AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 6000+
4x 2 GB DDR2-800 DDR2 SDRAM

Even though my CPU specs say "support for SSE", I get the feeling SSE is intended for use with Intel CPU's?
 
I've been running the Non-SSE version of 78.0.2 since early this morning, and it hasn't crashed like its predecessor. The "spell check" issue seems to have been fixed. Time will tell if it's a keeper as I spend more time with it.

Something I've noticed about MyPal for a few versions now (which I don't think is really associated with the browser), is videos with audio being out of sync. (annoying when you're watching someones lips move). This varies by venue and seems to be worst on YouTube. On Rumble and Bitchute the sync issue is barely detectable if at all.

Another small annoyance is not being able to load any Pinterest pages for many months now, which does seem to be MyPal related since I can load them with 360Chrome and (Linux) FireFox 147. With MyPal, the page starts loading for a couple seconds, then crashes and spits out something like this:

Unexpected Application Error!​

Sometimes there will be 5 or 6 lines of "string", other times many more.
 
If someone can load a web site seemingly fine using 360Chrome, but the same site will not load using MyPal78, what are all the variables that can or need to be edited in the MyPal browser so it will open the page?
