Download Pale Moon 3.6.13

Pale Moon has been updated to version 3.6.13. This web browser uses the source code of Mozilla Firefox, but is optimized for modern hardware. The Windows version of Mozilla Firefox is developed with the greatest possible compatibility in mind. Partly due to concessions to older hardware, the browser is not as fast as it could be, according to Pale Moon maker Moonchild Productions.

Pale Moon is functionally almost identical to Mozilla Firefox, but does not support older processors. Some things have also been omitted, including Accessibility features and Parental controls. The result is a browser that could be up to 25 percent better to perform† More information about the program can here are being found. The program uses its own profile folder and does not share it with Firefox, making it possible to use the two side by side. New in this release include a newer Gecko engine, which brings the necessary improvements, and also the automatic update function has been improved in this release.

Release notes:

Updated the source code to Gecko 1.9.2.13. This fixes a number of security issues.

• Google Safebrowsing URLs updated to fix problematic downloading of the database updates for reported attack sites.
• Miscellaneous other Google Safebrowsing provider URLs fixed for smoother operation
• Dictionary download URL fixed
• Geolocation info page URL fixed

Changes:

• Checking for updates to Pale Moon is now enabled by default. The checking frequency is once a week.
• Profiling phase slightly changed during building to potentially improve speed and efficiency further.

A new build machine with a fresh install of the environment has been used for this release, with slightly more memory and a newer HDD than the previous one and preventing unnecessary headaches due to the loudly whining Maxtor drive that was used previously. It’s still an old P4 machine but it performs a lot better. I would hereby like to thank all the generous donors to the Pale Moon project who have made this possible!
