The latest installation instructions for Palemoon
Hello Linux Geeksters. As you may know, Pale Moon is an open-source, cross-platform browser based on Mozilla Firefox, being up to 25% faster then the original. The latest version available is Pale Moon 24.5.0, which has been recently released, coming with a bunch of optimizations, better support for third party extensions from Mozilla, and some bug-fixes.
Due to the fact that Pale Moon is not affiliated to Mozilla, the developers of the Firefox based internet browser will not adopt the Australis interface, keeping an UI inspired by the classical Firefox insterface. Also, the support for DRM will not be added by default, the users having the possibility to enable it, via third party plugins.
For more information, see the announcement from the forum.
