Hmm, i'll have to try that thanks for the heads up. Losing tree style tabs in 42 has made me nervous, it was the primary reason I love firefox. Without that most of the why in using firefox goes away for me.

  Never heard of it, quick scan of the page seems to indicate that it is windows/linux only though? I did a quick look at the download page and didn't see an osx build. That is overall fine but I like to keep my browsers portable across all of my primary operating systems.

    Yeah, that's kind of my only advantage for not liking Mac (wish I did:). Still, it is just a forked Firefox so it uses the same extensions etc for now, maybe using FF on Mac and PM on the other platforms would be possible?

  Pale Moon's stance on pdf.js makes me very nervous: https://www.palemoon.org/technical.shtml#features https://www.palemoon.org/technical.shtml#features As I understand, the author's opinion is that Adobe Reader is more secure than pdf.js. I'm not sure I would trust them with maintaining a secure browser in light of that. Their monetization model is also questionable (I understand it injects ads / referral links).
