Pale Moon 28.0.1 release notes:

This is a bugfix point release to address serious performance bottlenecks and general run-time issues (UI slowness, crashes, hangs) with the browser. Once again this impacted 32-bit operating systems more severely than 64-bit ones due to its more limited address space that would get flooded with bogus data.

Changes/fixes:

  • Backed out a Mozilla upstream patch causing issues with IPC and texture allocation for the compositor.
  • Backed out a Mozilla upstream patch causing issues with Javascript memory buffer allocation.
