#191928 using Safari 9.0.2 on OS X 10.11.2:
"Whenever the popup donation screen comes up on Wikipedia, I try to click the PayPal button, or the Credit Card, button, and nothing happens! I have disabled all extensions that might be interfering with it. Please have someone on your technical team try this on Safari 9.0.2 (the latest version) and on Mac."

The donor in #200135 got a 404 error after entering their PayPal password using a "galaxy s6 phone, standard browser. Used both mobile and desktop version, used email link and direct from browser". We have seen about 4 unresponsive Paypal link errors per day for the past 2 weekes.

This seems like a different issue than the other, in which the button was unresponsive. What do you think?

@atgo, you're right - would it be better to expand this task or create a new one?

@MBeat33
Please create a new one, cos it seems unrelated. You can mention "see also T120995" in the new task if you want to point to information here, etc...

Resolving: we have not seen this error persist, nor have we received useful feedback to help diagnose.
