The Pale Moon project has blocked users of the Mypal fork from accessing the add-ons directory.

Browser Users Mypal, which is a fork of Pale Moon for Windows XP, developed after support for this platform was discontinued in the release Pale Moon 27.0, noticed attention due to the loss of the ability to install add-ons from the site “addons.palemoon.org“, which also blocked access to other browsers whose User Agent mentions Windows XP.

M.C. Straver (Moonchild), the creator of the Pale Moon browser, explained, stated that access was blocked by a project participant M. Tobin, one of the lead developers of Pale Moon, who personally finances the server for the add-ons directory for Pale Moon. The block was implemented against the backdrop of a long-standing conflict between M. Tobin and the developers of Mypal, mainly due to dissatisfaction with the fact that the fork's developers are capitalizing on the Pale Moon infrastructure and using project resources without permission, failing to negotiate or find a mutually beneficial cooperation option. The necessary components for launching the add-ons directory are open source software, supplied under the MPL license (repository with the code already removed from GitHub, but copies remain ), and the Mypal developers have the opportunity to launch their own server for distributing add-ons.30% of the top thousand sites use scripts for covert identification
