Publisher's Description:

Custom-built and optimized and built Firefox browsers for Windows Operating Systems.

The Pale Moon project is the work of a single individual, using contributed Open Source code to create a full-featured, speed optimized version of 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 (backwards compatible to the first Pentium processors from 1993).

Pale Moon is a middle road, cutting away support for ancient systems to achieve a significant speed and efficiency increase, but not trying to squeeze the last few percent more out of it by limiting the range of systems it will run on even more. It aims to not waste computer resources and power on inefficient programs, while at the same time serving a wide range of systems that are currently in use around the world. As one person remarked when the first version of Pale Moon was just released: optimizing for only the very latest systems and limiting Pale Moon to run only on those would be rather pointless, as those systems have enough horse power to not make the few percent extra even noticed that would be gained by additonally using their specific hardware capabilities.

Pale Moon may run behind regular Firefox releases one or more versions, as this is still a project run in my free time, and I like to test the browser on at least a few systems before releasing it to the public. I also find that some Firefox updates don't warrant the time and effort to make a "point release" of Pale Moon to keep on the bleeding edge of Firefox development. Pale Moon will be updated only for select and relevant updates of the Firefox source code.
This also means that Pale Moon will not be built based on beta, release candidate, milestone, or other development releases of the Firefox source code. Only relevant "Release" source code will be used to ensure stability.

That being said, Pale Moon may, on occasion, have intermediate releases to fix known issues in the Pale Moon browser before a new release version of Firefox code is available.
