And Pale Moon also drops support for Internet Explorer's ActiveX and ActiveX scripting technology, which also offers a security benefit as it means the browser can't be infected by malicious ActiveX controls. The crash report has also been stripped out, as it's designed to work with server-side technology that isn't available on. The program has been made more lightweight, for instance, by stripping out little-used components like the accessibility features, and the parental controls. One of the improvements is the ability to install legacy Firefox extensions again in Pale Moon (next to Pale Moon exclusive add-ons).Pale Moon is a customised version of Firefox, which has been carefully optimised for speed and efficiency. It includes security updates and also functional updates. The new version of the browser is Pale Moon 31.0.0, which users should install. Version 30.0 of Pale Moon is skipped to avoid user confusion.
Moonchild summarizes what transpired in the following way in the release notes:Īfter our unacceptable and recalled release of v30.0.0 and 30.0.1 with the departure of one of the core devs from our team requiring us to rewind and re-do several months of work to exclude undesired code changes and what likely lay at the root of the plethora of stability and run-time issues of the recalled versions, we're back on track with a new milestone building on UXP and Goanna (v5.1) with many improvements and additional user-requested features. The exit resulted in several issues for the browser and its services, including that the add-ons server for the current version was pulled. According to the post, one of the developers, Tobin, left the project and caused havoc doing so.
