    Hat's off for keeping count, so how many triple-harps has he built so far?

    HB, a juvenile? Lunigiana Italy

    "Supple fluid wings" and "graceful flight" add to the likelihood that this is a HB.

    Okay, test it by finding a pdf to click in PM?

    Can't view PDF files in Pale Moon

    If you've installed it in PM correctly, it'll show in (Alt) Tools > Add-ons > Extensions tab, where there's likely to be an Options button so you can set it up to your liking then test it by finding a .pdf online and 'open' (click) it.

    Can't view PDF files in Pale Moon

    I don't think Moon PDF Viewer is compatible (yet) with v28. Can you follow this? If so, clicking on the xpi in Pale Moon should trigger a dropdown that asks whether you want to allow installation...

    Can't view PDF files in Pale Moon

    In Pale Moon: (Alt) Tools, Preferences, Applications tab > click on 'PDF Document' and use the drop down menu to select the installed software you want to use to open pdfs.

    Intermittent "Secure connection failed" in Firefox

    This looks like an issue where Avast or AVG is used with Firefox 61: Some AV browser extensions intercept the initial direct secure communication with the site you're trying to reach and try to 'protect' you (how dare you trust your browser... ), they try to sell this as a 'feature' but it's...

    Go slow and stop

    I hope they're trying to tighten their security but it's probably an exercise in boosting their income. I'm good ta, you?

    BOP seen this morning NE.London....?

    Was your "birdwatching" in any way related to the birdwatching/birding that most of us here do, or is it a euphemism for something NSFW?

    BOP seen this morning NE.London....?

    You really ought to take up birdwatching.

    BOP seen this morning NE.London....?

    CB's being chased by corvids do tend to 'stretch' out and extend the neck/look over their shoulders, making their outlines considerably more variable than when seen in their normal, relaxed, soaring/gliding flight modes etc. Watch the bird(s) closely using good optics and the naked eye; relying...
