Pale Moon 26.0.0

Pale Moon is an Open Source, Goanna-based web browser available for Microsoft Windows and Linux (with other operating systems in development), focusing on efficiency and ease of use. Make sure to get the most out of your browser!

Pale Moon offers you a browsing experience in a browser completely built from its own, independently developed source that has been forked off from Firefox/Mozilla code, with carefully selected features and optimizations to improve the browser"s speed, resource use, stability and user experience, while offering full customization and a growing collection of extensions and themes to make the browser truly your own.

  • Extensive and growing support for HTML5 and CSS3
  • Many customization and configuration options
  • Able to import existing Firefox profiles with the migration tool

Changes in Pale Moon 26.0.0:

  • Pale Moon is now building on the new Goanna engine instead of Gecko. Although close relatives in terms of web technology, they are not the same under the hood and any reports of bugs with the layout/rendering engine should be as detailed as possible to allow us to pinpoint the cause of the bugs and fix them (just stating "it works in Firefox" really doesn"t help us!).
  • We"ve had to reduce the number of supported languages for our language packs. With the need to move to our own full localization and lacking translators to support and maintain less common languages in use around the world, we"ve reduced our number of offered languages to a little over 30. The languages still supported should royally cover all commonly-spoken languages around the globe. You will need to update your language packs!
  • Although we"ve given this release extensive testing, it is still possible you run into some website compatibility issues (usually because of websites doing useragent sniffing) and e.g. some sites displaying a mobile version if they do not recognize or incorrectly recognize the new browser engine. Please always try contacting the webmasters first before posting support requests at our address, since this is usually not something we can provide solutions for, ourselves, and we end up having to redirect you anyway.
