Pale Moon Version 33.6.0.1 Released

  Pale MoonPale Moon has been updated to version 33.6.0.1.  This is an extra update to mitigate as much of the CloudFlare issues leading to browser hangs and memory issues as possible on the web browser side.

Changes/fixes:

  • Disabled CSP reporting temporarily to work around memory issues caused by CloudFlare's scripting. While CSP reporting is important to inform webmasters of issues with their content security policies, not having the browser eat up all memory is more critical. We do intend to re-enable this when the issue is resolved on CloudFlare's side.
  • Improved CSS grid performance to avoid exponential calculations and reflows caused by CloudFlare's scripting. This wasn't a bug, per se, but could easily lock up with bad scripting if called recursively.
  • Added a few other small fixes that are tangentially related to the code changes made.

    Pale Moon includes both 32- and 64-bit versions for Windows: Pale Moon for Windows downloads.

    Update: To get the update now, select "Help" from the Pale Moon menu at the upper left of the browser window.  Select About Pale Moon > Check for Updates.
