User Agent Switcher installs and works in Pale Moon for Mac 29.1īut it does NOT install in White Star ('incompatible') If this has already been posted to the forum, sorry, I didn't have time to do a search. They are trying so hard to make me throw up my hands and just use another browser. And presumably, I won't get any more updates on my Mac since it uses White Star.Īnd when I don't upgrade on my Windows laptop because I want to keep using Fx add-ons, I won't be able to get the latest PM add-ons etiher. Luckily some of the extensions I need are in other profiles, so I can extract the needed installation files from them, but I shouldn't really have to go to that trouble. I guess they want to make a big F*** YOU to anybody who is forking PM? Or staying back with the older version of PM because they want to use Fx extensions? It's outrageous, and very Mozilla-like of them.

Work may be involved to keep it free from the Australis UI, but it can be done.Īnd here the list of some major differences between Pale Moon and Firefox:įor disclaimer, i am just someone who recently switched from Opera to Pale Moon, because the new Firefox is an abomination and I'm not a chubby chaser.Well! I just tried to download some add-ons from the Pale Moon add-ons page, and guess what? They have made it so that now you get a button that says 'Upgrade Pale Moon' instead of a download button when using White Star. Pale Moon will retain the old UI, no matter what. Pale Moon intends to become a real fork, in fact, already has a number of major changes. Some people keep claiming that Pale Moon will jump on to whatever (ESR) version that is released:

While Pale Moon bases itself on the Firefox codebase, it will evolve according to its own development roadmap. In fact, the development of Pale Moon and Firefox are completely independent. Pale Moon is not just about removing features arbitrarily: features are removed if they are not used widely and if they give a sufficient performance advantage.

Pale Moon is not a simple rebuild any more it includes a number of UI changes and additional features (such as TLS 1.2 and OCSP stapling) these are not present in Firefox ESR. Pale Moon actually entails in-house development, and incorporates a number of features not present in Firefox ESR.
