I’ve tried Pale Moon for about a week now and I can say that it really is faster and performs better than a regular Mozilla Firefox build on a Windows Operating System. At least 50 MB of free (uncompressed) disk space.64 MB of RAM (128 MB or more recommended).A modern processor with SSE2 support like a Pentium IV or Athlon 64 or later (see list of supported processors) Standard Pale Moon will NOT run on Athlon XP processors! Please GO HERE if you are running on an Athlon XP or Athlon MP processor machine.Windows 2000/XP/2003/Vista/Seven, 32-bit or 64-bit (64-bit O.S.es are not natively supported, but the browser will run fine on them).Able to use existing Firefox profiles, bookmarks and settings with this migration tool.Support for OOPP (Out-of-process plugin execution).Support for Firefox extensions, themes and personas.Support for SVG and Canvas, downloadable fonts, WOFF and some HTML5.Significant speed increases for page drawing and script processing.Uses slightly less memory because of disabled redundant and optional code.100% Firefox sourced: As safe as the browser that has seen years of development.Highly optimized for current processors.Nonetheless Pale Moon has a fairly stout offering of extensions, especially compared to other alternative browsers when considering Pale Moon is not merely a clone, using the same extensions as Firefox or Chrome. Pentadactyl registers an error (as of Pale Moon 31.1.1) when attempting to install it from Pale Moon’s website but can be installed from a file if compiled from source. For instance, uBlock Origin is listed at but must be installed from github. Unfortunately, some of the extensions listed on the website do not work, but in addition to those there are some that can be downloaded from other sources.

The add-on eco-system is not quite as healthy when it comes to Pale Moon but it does offer extensions and provides an add-on database from which to download them. In fact Pale Moon is a fork of Firefox the two deviated from one another a dozen years ago, and Pale Moon has more closely kept the feel of Firefox from that time than Firefox itself has done. Pale Moon is an excellent Firefox-like browser, reminiscent of “old firefox,” a la “stratus”, a pre-australis GUI style. Pale Moon, a Web Browser with a Retro Vibe
