Pale Moon 27 Beta 3

Pale Moon

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.

Features:

  • Optimized for modern processors
  • Based on our own optimized layout engine (Goanna)
  • Safe: forked from mature Mozilla code and regularly updated
  • Supported by a friendly, active community of users
  • Familiar, efficient, fully customizable interface
  • Support for full themes: total freedom over any element's design
  • Support for easily-created lightweight themes (skins)
  • Smooth and speedy page drawing and script processing
  • Increased stability: experience fewer browser crashes
  • Support for many Firefox extensions
  • Support for a growing number of Pale Moon exclusive extensions
  • Extensive and growing support for HTML5 and CSS3
  • Many customization and configuration options
  • Able to import existing Firefox profiles with the migration tool

Most important changes/fixes since beta 2:

  • This should fix webcrypto issues people have reported.
  • Fixed places/library category errors (tags etc).
  • Fixed geolocation (prompt and lookup, "more information").
  • Fixed desktop notification and pointerlock prompts.
  • Fixed the "more information" link for mixed content.
  • Removed pdf.js from the browser.
  • Considering this preview module (maintained for emergency only) would not render even half the documents correctly, it has been removed from Pale Moon. Some websites that insist on only having embedded PDF content (not downloadable and not using a web-based viewer on-site) may require you to install a PDF plugin as a result.
  • Fixed the "ask to activate" image+link in plugin areas.
  • Fixed the browser downloads UI call in BrowserDownloadsUI().
  • Enforced Firefox-compatibility useragent on msn.com and bing.com to prevent errors.
  • Fixed the save file picker dialog closing immediately on some sites (e.g. dropbox).
  • Fixed missing toolbar in print preview.
  • Fixed "Forget about this site" command.
  • Fixed an issue with update logging. [full release notes]
