Firefox User - give Pale Moon a Try

It`s based on Firefox so it looks and uses the same addons mostly, but it seems to run a lot smoother when you have a page full of images or video`s

Save your Firefox bookmarks and import them to Pale Moon.

Give it a go.

Ohh Yeah, there is a version for Atom CPU system, that is low on cpu and memory usage.

Does it use new Multithreaded feature of Firefox 48 and does it still block unsigned addons with blocked about:config approval way since v48?

 

I don't know i only installed it myself today, I have used it many times before, but for some reason i end up back on Firefox, But after fighting with Firefox for the last 3 weeks with painfully slow browsing, I wiped Firefox a few times and it still would not work smoothly, so i decided to give it a go again and i am happy at the moment.

Well my version 49.0.1 of Firefox is OK, but noticed that it takes a few seconds to actually respond to my bookmark clicks at first. Seems like it is thinking for a few seconds then it responds. After this initial problem it works fine. This started several versions ago.

About PaleMoon. I tried it but never could transfer my bookmarks from Firefox to Palemoon. I googled that problem and tried all the hints but could never resolve it.

So I'm back using Firefox with NoScript Extension.

 

In Firefox click on bookmarks and then organize bookmarks, then import export backup, export bookmarks to html, then go into pale moon and do the same process but now import bookmarks from html, and that`s it.

Thanks for that, but I had already deleted PaleMoon from my system. Maybe I will try again soon.

 

After receiving the latest Firefox update, I was so disgusted that I literally downloaded 5 new browsers to try. Pale moon was one, Tor, Epic Privacy, Opera and one other I don't remember at the moment. I am going to try them all because I have got to find an alternative to FF. For me, it has progressively gone downhill the past year or so and now they are trying to play the "nanny role" as well. Soon as I find a viable alternative, I'm there.

Also want to figure out how to dual boot Linux Mint on my Win 10 machine. But that's a whole other issue.

 

Pale Moon is based on older FF code with certain features back-ported or reimplemented. Many new FF features are absent, but so is plenty of the fat.


Current up-to-date stable build of Pale Moon on my system is recognized as FF 24.9 by Mozilla's website. If that's accurate it's dragging way behind the official FF build.

The user agent is "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:38.9) Gecko/20100101 Goanna/2.2 Firefox/38.9 PaleMoon/26.5.0".


Warning: some FF add-ons refuse to install if you select the current version. Try older versions.

 

I tried a few. Epic seemed ok. Vivaldi seemed ok. I don know tho. Haven't been able to move on yet. The search continues.

This is for a Windows 7 computer by the way.

 

I used it when it first launched, it was amazing, everything worked. Then I got tired of this page and that not loading properly, then when you post the issue on their forums all the developers can say is to tell the site you are visiting to make the site for this agent or that agent, otherwise you can force a site to render using the Firefox agent. Got too tired of all this and now I just use Firefox with the Classic Theme Restorer. Everything works perfectly.
