Pale Moon Version 29.2.1 Released

 


Pale Moon

Pale Moon has been updated to version 29.2.1.  This is a bugfix release.  Linux versions will follow soon.

Changes/Fixes:
  • Worked around an issue with autocomplete popups sometimes failing to work (and added some debug console logging to it in case it happens to help find the root cause)
  • Fixed an issue with DOM mouse scrolling throwing errors.
  • Fixed a race with network detection routines firing incorrectly when resuming from standby.
  • Fixed a crash when using large uploads through DOM.
  • Fixed an issue where the menulist-button on editable menulist widgets was not visible on GTK3.
  • Reduced the number of reported "important preferences" in troubleshooting information, excluding individual printer details.
  • Fixed an issue with the JS JIT compiler not tracing debugger environments (DiD).

*DiD This means that a fix is "Defense-in-Depth": It is a fix that does not apply to a (potentially) actively exploitable vulnerability in Pale Moon, but prevents future vulnerabilities caused by the same code, e.g. when surrounding code changes, exposing the problem, or when new attack vectors are discovered.

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