Changes in Pale Moon 26.3.1:

  • Fixed an issue with new tab button theming on dark toolbars.
  • Reverted the useragent identification of Firefox compatibility mode to 38.9 to avoid WOFF2 font issues for sites that don't use proper font deployment as recommended by the W3C.
  • Added a site-specific override for Google fonts to make sure it always works even if not using Firefox compatibility mode.
  • (workaround pending for a proper solution on Google's side)
  • Adjusted the "dark color" detection routine to switch text to white at higher relative contrast levels.
  • This will more closely match Windows 10's "flip point" for different accent colors and is within the recommended range determined by the WCAG.
