Pale Moon Version 25.0.2 Released

Pale Moon has released version 25.0.2 to address a number of "teething problems" with the new milestone release.


As explained by the Pale Moon developer, Moonchild, one of the changes impacting the milestone release in version 25.0 was the removal of the "Firefox" portion from Pale Moon's user agent. 

Because the Pale Moon User Agent string is not universally recognized, this has resulted in poor user experiences, including being presented with mobile site layouts, broken pages, or even being flat-out refused service.  As a result, the update to Pale Moon version 25.0.2 includes the following change:

• Added a "Firefox compatibility mode" selection in Options -> Advanced.   This mode is enabled by default.

Security fix:

• Disabled SSL 3.0 by default (to put a muzzle on the POODLE).
  
  Please note that this may cause issues with some poorly configured web servers (usually ones with a hopelessly broken security setup that do not support TLS 1.2 or secure (re)negotiation of the protocol).

Additional Fixes/changes:

• Improved active tab display on particularly dark personas.
  People using "black" personas/lightweight themes should now have a lot less difficulty distinguishing the active tab.
  
• Fixed add-on update issue (that was preventing update checking through addons.palemoon.org).
  
• Fixed the redundant redundancy in asking redundantly if the browser would be allowed to ask to install an extension when not on addons.mozilla.org.
  
• Fixed the internal UA-sniffing insanity that broke devtools in a few different and colorful ways.

Minimum system Requirements (Windows):

• Windows Vista/Windows 7/Windows 8/Server 2008 or later
• A processor with SSE2 support
  
• 256 MB of free RAM (512 MB or more recommended)
  
• At least 150 MB of free (uncompressed) disk space

Pale Moon includes both 32- and 64-bit versions:

• 32x:  Download the Pale Moon browser
• 64x:  Pale Moon - x64 builds
