Pale Moon is an Open Source, Goanna-based web browser focused on efficiency and customization. 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 a number of years ago, with carefully selected features and optimizations to improve the browser’s stability and user experience, while offering full customization and a growing collection of extensions and themes to make the browser truly your own.

Changes/fixes:
Restricted protocol fallback for TLS. Pale Moon no longer (by default) allows TLS 1.3 to fall back to earlier protocol versions during the initial handshake.
Reverted the addition of browser.bookmarks.openInTabClosesMenu due to behavioral issues with menus.
If you desire the intended behavior, please use an extension instead.
We no longer support the data: protocol inside SVG’s statements.
Enabled more validation/error checking for WebGL on Windows to prevent potential crashes.
Improved secure context checking for iframes.
Fixed the handling of relative paths in URLs starting with multiple forward slashes.
