Pale Moon Browser 28.9.0 Release

Submitted by web browser release Pale Moon 28.9, 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 Windows ΠΈ Linux (x86 and x86_64). Project Code spreads 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 UXP (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.

  • Support for asynchronous iterators (await iterator.next() and for await);
  • Promise-based multimedia content playback;
  • Non-standard functions for constructing styles through the CSSStyleSheet() object;
  • HTML5 dialog element (disabled by default and requires setting dom.dialog_element.enabled = true);
  • Optional hiding of pinned tabs in CtrlTab/AllTab panels (enabled through settings browser.ctrlTab.hidePinnedTabs and browser.allTabs.hidePinnedTabs);
  • Ability to play multimedia elements at 1.25x speed;
  • Hidden setting (browser.places.smartBookmarks.max) to limit the size of categories in smart bookmarks.
