web browser release , which forked from the Firefox codebase to provide greater performance, retain the classic interface, minimize memory consumption, and provide more customization options. Pale Moon builds are formed for ΠΈ (x86 and x86_64). Project Code licensed under MPLv2 (Mozilla Public License).
The project adheres to the classic organization of the interface, without switching to the Australis interface integrated in Firefox 29, and with the provision of extensive customization options. Removed components include DRM, Social API, WebRTC, PDF viewer, Crash Reporter, statistics collection code, parental controls, and people with disabilities. Compared to Firefox, the browser retains support for XUL technology and retains the ability to use both full-fledged and lightweight themes. Pale Moon is built on a platform (Unified XUL Platform), which forked Firefox components from the Mozilla Central repository, freed from bindings to Rust code and not including the developments of the Quantum project.
