Publisher's Description of Pale Moon

" Custom-built and optimized Firefox-based browsers for Windows Operating Systems. "
- From Pale Moon Project
Why settle for a basic build of your Firefox browser on Windows Operating Systems when you can have one that is specifically made for getting the most out of your system? 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.
Features/Disabled Features
This browser aims to strike a balance between features and speed. As such, a choice has been made to consciously disable a few features that are not commonly used by the largest group of users.
If you require any of the disabled features, then this browser is not for you!
Please check the Firefox page to get an official build instead, in that case.
The Pale Moon browser has the following features:
* Specifically optimized for current processors. It makes use of the enhanced instruction sets of newer CPUs - as a result, this browser will not run on older systems.
* Support for Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) and Canvas, both vector-based types of graphics.
* Support for OOPP (Out-of-process plugin execution)
* Support for Firefox Extensions (add-ons), themes and personas.
* CSS Downloadable Font support (including WOFF).
* HTML5, WebGL (v4) and advanced DOM support.
* 100% Firefox Sourced! This means you get the reliability and stability of the Firefox browser code, and the wide array of Firefox options and features.
* Significant speed increases for scripting and page rendering compared to Firefox.
* Uses a little less memory than the official builds because of the disabled features (listed below)
* There have been multiple reports of certain web sites being displayed correctly in Pale Moon, that were problematic in Firefox - I have not been able to personally confirm this.
* Stability: experience fewer browser crashes.
* Able to use existing Firefox profiles, bookmarks and settings with this migration tool
The following features have been disabled by design:
* ActiveX and ActiveX scripting. ActiveX is specific to Microsoft's Internet Explorer, and is not natively supported by (any) Firefox builds.
* Accessibility features. Most people, and certainly the people looking for speed optimized browsers, don't have a need for accessibility features.
* Parental controls. Pale Moon aims to be a fast browser for general use, not a "secured family browser".
* A few miscellaneous things like the crashreporter
