Pale Moon Version 33.8.2 Released with Security Updates

 Pale MoonPale Moon has been updated to version 33.8.2.  This is a minor development, security and bugfix update.

Changes/fixes:

  • Changed the way the address bar focus is handled when navigating to a fragment (#hash or anchor) within an existing URL. It will now re-focus the page the same way a normal address navigation would (resetting the "editing" state, unless the user is actively typing).
  • Implemented support for the :focus-visible CSS pseudo-class.
  • Fixed a potential race condition in font tables. DiD
  • Fixed potential issues with pthread allocations. DiD
  • Fixed an issue in NSS related to the PKCS12 decoder.
  • Security issues addressed: CVE-2025-9181 and several others that do not have a CVE number.

Notes:  *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.

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.
