The Full Throttle game keeps loading, so I can't redeem it, and all the games have blank, grey boxes instead of the cover art with prices, so I can't check out any of the games on sale either. I'm on FF 47, win 7, and the frontpage worked for me before.

47.0
Firefox Release
June 7, 2016

Ah.

Just as nobody should be running a current production system on the 2.6 or 4.4 Linux kernels, this is entirely on you.

That doesn't matter. How many websites do you see that are broken for FF? Basically none. My even older Chrome shows GOG normally, and I don't like the new FF or its switching to multiple tab processes instead of having one.

Also, it works on Chrome (also an older version), so that's solved for me, however if a mod sees this and would like to take a look at what broke it for FF/relay it to the devs, that would be great, since I prefer browsing in one browser.

They did take a look at it. It was outlined here, where the reply (as expected) is "upgrade your browser."

I've got to ask, why do you prefer the single process system when that can take out the entire browser due to one runaway tab? Are you trying to cram an OS into 2GB or less?

The game that I have ever loaded it has another interface

You can't seriously expect any website to support a version that is almost 20 updates behind current... and talking about a browser that is broken by default... the solution for you is: upgrade

LMAO, it matters a whole lot. Mozilla constantly implements new technologies when releasing new Firefox versions. At least use an Extended Support Release of Firefox or Palemoon. Never ever complain about websites not working if your browser is over 2 years behind in updates.

Gog is a curated store.

Not only are they hand picking their games, they also carefully select which browsers their totally not broken website can run on.

This is because gog is a major player among digital distributors, so they can easily afford being uppity.

ESR apparently doesn't work on GOG, which is a given considering that ESR isn't made to be a mainline browser, but a shunting browser.

That's news to me, what part of the GOG website isn't working in the ESR release? It's based on the feature base of Firefox 60 which isn't far behind the current mainline release.

Just the front page, apparently.

(For all I know, they might be using an ESR of ESR.)

from what I gather it is broken for people who stick to the previous ESR (52.x) due to their refusal to move to the quantum based firefox.

A two year old browser is not really too old to display valid content. I agree that it might be an additional security risk but if GOG only support the latest of the latest, they should not complain if some customers are unwilling to follow them.

Sure it is. Webtech has changed a load in two years. (Though the two years without security updates is the bigger alarm bell here.)

Sure, but there is a thing like backward compatibility. What if the users just don't want to use a browser from 2018? It's a compromise. Does GOG really need the latest web tech? Can the current web site's functionality really not be implemented in a two year old browser? Or can the functionality by implemented so that a two year old browser still works for most of it?

It's up to GOG to define these trade-offs. Maybe it also shows technical skills if one can use the latest tech but also do not break functionality on older systems.

Anyway, I wonder what thing that was missing was in this case?
