Download Pale Moon 25.1.0
Pale Moon 25 is a custom-built and speed optimized Firefox browser. The Pale Moon project is the work of a single individual, using contributed Open Source code to create a full-featured, speed optimized browser based on the popular Firefox browser. Having seen the advantages on other systems (e.g. Linux) with regards to programs being compiled specifically for the capabilities of the machine it is installed on, it became obviously clear that Windows users were at a disadvantage: Mozilla only releases windows executables with maximum compatibility in mind, meaning that Firefox is made to run on as many different systems as possible, sacrificing efficiency and speed in the process to be compatible with, by current standards, absolutely ancient hardware.
Mozilla does not provide optimized browser packages for Windows, meaning you may be losing speed and efficiency when you use your browser; and truth be told, most people use their browsers all the time!That needs to change, so, here is the Pale Moon project: Custom-b
uilt and optimized Firefox browsers for Windows Operating Systems. Make sure to get the most speed and efficiency out of your browser!
In addition, later versions of Pale Moon aim to provide more freedom of choice than Mozilla about how people want to browse the web, and which feedback users want to see; efficiency, after all, should not stop at the engine of a browser, but extend to all parts of it, including the user interface. Specifically, Firefox 11 has redesigned the user interface after the visions of the Mozilla Firefox product directors and user experience team; unfortunately also removing essential functions and making a few less logical design choices. Users will find a slightly more conservative approach to changes in the user interface in the Pale Moon browser, which, although very close to Firefox, is (now more obviously so than before) a different product. However, these differences in layout do not prevent anyone from configuring their browser interface to exactly the way they want it to look and work (including like Mozilla Firefox’s default layout if they so wish).
Main features:
• Highly optimized for modern processors
• 100% Firefox sourced: As safe as the browser that has seen years of development.
• Uses slightly less memory because of disabled redundant and optional code
• Significant speed increases for page drawing and script processing
• Stability: experience fewer browser crashes.
• Support for SVG and Canvas, and downloadable fonts including WOFF
• Support for HTML5 and WebGL (v4)
• Support for Firefox extensions (add-ons), themes and personas
• Support for OOPP (Out-of-process plugin execution)
• Able to use existing Firefox profiles, bookmarks and settings with this migration tool
Changes in Pale Moon 25.1.0 (2014-11-14):
– New feature: multi-line flexbox support.
– Pale Moon now supports more advanced multi-line and multi-column flex elements. This will allow websites to use these elements for easier responsive design of web pages and ordering/layout of multiple elements. This has been on Pale Moon’s to-do list for a while but was rather complex to tackle, hence the delay in implementation. This should address layout issues on several recently-updated websites (e.g. the MSN home page).
– New feature: added support for collapsed flex element items.
– Enhanced feature: Content Security Policy (CSP). Pale Moon now fully supports the CSP 1.0 specification allowing websites to set restrictions on content to prevent XSS (Cross-site scripting) attacks. Previously, the implementation in Pale Moon was partial, and did not support a number of features, resulting in some websites not rendering properly because Pale Moon was being too strict in enforcing the policy. This should address issues on websites enforcing CSP (e.g. the Dropbox web interface and FaceBook galleries).
– New feature: added support for iframes with inline content.
– Updated the Firefox Compatibility mode version to 31.9. With the improvements in rendering and overall feature set, the Firefox Compatibility mode (as presented in the UserAgent string) has been bumped to prevent websites from complaining about “using a too old/unsupported version of Firefox” (e.g. Google websites).
– Pale Moon no longer builds the so-called “media navigator” by default. This module provides access to the user’s webcam and microphone. Although it can be used for other purposes, in practice this is only used for WebRTC and, in fact, its support (GetUserMedia) is often mistaken for actually supporting WebRTC in a browser (causing errors since Pale Moon does not support WebRTC). No longer including these features reduces input complexity and overhead for a feature not actively used. This also circumvents privacy concerns/confusion like CVE-2014-1586.
– Improved tab handling on lightweight themes (personas) some more to enhance contrast on certain themes and to make the tab hover effect slightly more distinct.
– Fixed oversized/blocky menu arrows on Windows 8.1 in HiDPI mode.
– Fixed incorrect operating system being passed on to addons.mozilla.org.
– Fixed an error being thrown in the error console/web console when opening a new window.
– Removed the NVidia 3D Vision auxiliary utility library. This library has been the likely cause for a number of crashes on NVidia cards, and is completely unnecessary for Pale Moon.
– Made the installer less aggressive for file type associations, to prevent “stealing” of globally associated file types.
– Android: improved restoring of session tabs.
– Android: added an option to automatically restore tabs. An important thing to note with this new option is the following: with the option enabled, Pale Moon will now automatically restore tabs you had open previously when the app gets suspended (pushed out of memory by other apps, closed by swipe, etc.). The “quit” main menu option, however, completely shuts down your session, unloads Pale Moon from active memory, and tabs will not be automatically restored when you launch Pale Moon again. This is by design. To restore tabs in that situation, use the link from the home screen.
– Fixed memory security hazards CVE-2014-1574 and CVE-2014-1575 security fix
– Fixed CVE-2014-1581. security fix
– Fixed bug 1069584: Bail if a cairo surface is in an invalid state. security fix
– Made sure to initialize surfaces for draw targets. security fix
– Fixed bug 1074280: Use AsContainerLayer() in order to avoid a bad cast. security fix
– Fixed several problems in the HTML parser. security fix
– Improved security of XHR by filtering out types of requests that can potentially be abused. security fix
