Freepers,
Heads up. Palemoon has reached a fork in the road if you are user. Almost all your old add-ons will no longer work.
If you update you are hosed.
They told no one...
I updated this week to 29.2.0 (64 Bit) - everything still works fine. What version are you talking about?
i used to use pale moon a long time ago, now i use brave
There’s supposedly forks for the major extensions in the palemoon add on page (they’ll be under different names).
I was a long time palemoon user and supporter but, unfortunately, they’re not going to be able to keep up as people aren’t developing or maintaining support of their extensions for it.
I’ve switched to Brave with scriptsafe
Same here. Updated with no problems. What version is the problem?
Roger that. I believe you can have multiple profiles w/ Brave, It maybe my alternative, and just start over rather than try to access profiles I may not be able to access unless via backups.
Sad, but it had to be done. Palemoon is still my primary browser but I'm souring on it more and more. I also use SlimJet (Chromium-based), and I have Dissenter but since it doesn't allow cookies it's no good for my bill paying links but good for other stuff.
How do you downgrade a revison? I have multiple profiles, how do I go back?
What I do is uninstall what I have now, and install an earlier version. It’s easy to install early Windows versions, but finding earlier Linux versions can be a real chore. It took over an hour of searching before I found the Debian installer of 28.9.3.
For unlike legacy Firefox ESR 59.9 with Tab Mix Plus and a few other extensions. which enabled more key customization than the whole of Edge, which the below critique is aimed at, other browsers of the engines suffer from missing most of the following features that legacy Firefox with extensions provided, such as, :
You cannot make it show multiple tab rows (though besides Vivaldi you can with
Quantum but it takes one [1]of the hacks. And unless the latter is a portable version, it cannot run concurrently with FF ESR since it will basically take it over).
You cannot adjust max or min tab width. And the more you open the thinner they get, and all look the same. (except the active tab has an close 
You cannot close a non-active tab by just placing your cursor on it the top right
to get a X to click on (so unless you activate it, you need to R. click on it and hit close tab).
You cannot enable different colored tabs as with the legacy Colorful Tabs extension (NOT the one in Quantum).
You cannot choose to open links in other installed browsers via right click.
You cannot toggle btwn the most recently accessed tabs using the Ctrl+Tab switch (and its Alt+Tab alternative messes up switching btwn applications).
Edge has a very poor spell checker and the dictionary is hard to find in the drive even if you could edit it (as you can with that of Firefox).
You cannot create more than one profile (as far as i know).
I know no extension that saves your text box posts such as this, like the Lazarus legacy FF extension did/does.
MS does not make it easy to set another browser as the default one for all html documents and links (details too long for here).
There is no option to keep the Find/Search bar open across tabs (handy in searches), meaning you need to do the search new for every tab.
There is no option via right click on a tab to choose “Copy link.”
Since MS writes the software for Windows, than it ought to be able to create a real "utility truck" browser - and which I am sure would become a classic for "power users" - rather than just another minimalist Chrome clone.
However, although using the same engine as Chrome Vivaldi has more options,
