Today the hamburger menu button at the bottom in tablet and mobile modes
stopped working in Palemoon 27.9.4 web-browser
(the latest version available for FreeBSD).

"Your Groups" pull-down menu at the top also stopped working
in desktop and tablet modes.

When was the last time that these worked for you?

1-2 days ago. The hamburger menu button at the bottom still works in memory-hogging Firefox, but in older Palemoon when I click the hamburger, the icon darkens for a fraction of second but nothing else happens.

I don't think I can get that version in a form that works on a mac; I'm having
trouble downloading even a current version for mac. Does it have a debugging
console? If so, are you seeing any issues in it?

In Tools - Web Developer - Browser Console:

SyntaxError: missing ; before statement application-de39a83e7e7782c474e9982973a5e56e.js:2858:6
ReferenceError: $ is not defined pending:56:0
ReferenceError: $ is not defined pending:508:4
ReferenceError: $ is not defined pending:773:0

Also, on Pending Messages page I put a checkmark at a pending message,
but all the buttons Approve, Edit, Delete
remain unclickable in older Palemoon,
mouse cursor over them is a crossed circle.
In Browser Console then:
SyntaxError: missing ; before statement application-de39a83e7e7782c474e9982973a5e56e.js:2858:6

Possibly it would help if you simply did a mouse over without clicking and then recorded what's the link is in several of the buttons so that Mark could see what wasn't working or what was what

It seems to be choking on an extra semicolon after a javascript function. I've
removed the semicolon. Please let me know if you're still seeing the problem.

Still the same problem. In Browser Console:

Can you go here and tell me what it does:
http://sole.github.io/test_cases/async_await/

In Palemoon 27.9.4 it says:
Is async/await supported? NO

In newer Firefox it says YES.
My Palemoon may be not the only browser not supporting this GoogleChrome-takeover feature.
Groups.io web-interface worked without it until few days ago.

I just tried this with my preferred browser and found it does not. Does this
explain why that browser, when I tried yesterday, was unable for the first time
to be able to update an existing file? Clicking on the update link had no
response, but my no 2 browser worked as usual.

Everything works again, thank you!

Thanks for that prompt response. Yes, it works fine again now.

Late to the party but I was also told by a few folks in my ALPS printer group who still use XP on occasion (due to the particular printer driver issues) that Chromium-based older browsers like Chrome and Opera also broke on XP with this async/await code introduction; Firefox worked OK though. The problem they reported (as well to the hamburger) was that clicking their account did not bring the submenu up.  Your replacement restored the functionality for them as well.
