Pale Moon has been updated to Version 26.4.0. In addition to security updates, the new version includes the removal from the Pale Moon start portal of Google Search as a bundled search provider.  See Changes/fixes below as well as the Announcement.

Details from the Release Notes:

Security fixes:

• (CVE-2016-5251)Potential URL spoofing in the address bar.
• (CVE-2016-0718) Context-dependent crash in expat 2.1.0.
• (CVE-2016-5266) Outgoing dataTransfer items are not properly filtered.

Changes/fixes:

• Removed Google Search as a bundled search provider. If desired, you can manually install it (or other search engines) after the update by following the steps in the Manage Search Engines topic.
• Fixed the URL API to allow "stringification" of the object per specification. This should make a number of websites happy.
• Added the ES6 string .includes() function in addition to the pre-existing .contains() function for checking if a string contains another string. The .contains() function is retained for compatibility with web and extension scripts that adhere to the ES6 pre-release specification up to and including RC3.
  
• Fixed the calculation of standalone SVG embeds width and height, which should solve some reported issues with html5 graphs being displayed incorrectly.
• Linux: improved memory allocation.

• Added a blocking rule for F-Secure's 64-bit deepguard library to prevent crashes.
• Updated the SQLite library to 3.13.0.
