Pale Moon Version 28.5.1 Released

Pale Moon has been updated to version 28.5.1.  This is a security and bugfix update.

Update:

"Correction to the release notes:

The point "Fixed browser.link.open_newwindow functionality" was premature -- this wasn't uplifted to this point release and will be in the next major update (in July)."

From the Release Notes:

Changes/fixes:

• Restored a global getBoolPref() function shortcut for extension compatibility with old extensions.
  If you are currently using this global function, please change it to Services.prefs.getBoolPref()
• Fixed an issue with the UI when the address bar was removed from the navigation toolbar.
• Fixed an issue with scripting of the Help menu.
• Fixed a crash resulting from non-standard manipulation of XML stylesheets by extensions.
• Fixed browser.link.open_newwindow functionality.
• Removed the default handler for webcal since the site doesn't seem to be properly maintained.
• Prevented some ways smart places queries could be abused for social engineering attacks.
• Ported an upstream Skia fix.
• Improved the origin-clean algorithm for canvases.
• Improved the efficiency of certain types of memory allocations in the JavaScript compiler.
• Changed the way the application update checker code is hooked up so it will not require a user to go idle before being activated.
  This solves the primary issue with application updates not notifying users as promptly as they should; more improvements are slated for the next major release.
• Applicable security issues fixed: CVE-2019-7317, CVE-2019-11701, CVE-2019-11698, CVE-2019-9817 (DiD), CVE-2019-11700, CVE-2019-11696, CVE-2019-11693, and several potentially exploitable crashes and memory safety hazards that do not have a CVE number assigned to them.
