I have 24.5 and it still shows FF. There was a fix listed here awhile back, but I wasn’t smart enough to do it.

Pale Moon looks like FF, but, from what I understand, they’re not all about completely changing the UI like FF does from time to time. I switched my work computer just the other day and used the migration tool to bring all my bookmarks, login info, extensions, etc into Pale Moon. It works like FF used to work; clean and fast.

Personally, I think I will stick to this Opera browser, thanks. Much faster than firefox while using less resources, doesn't repeatedly hang the computer, and hasn't crashed yet after years of use.
The Heterophobic nancyboys over at HoMozilla can go suck a lemon.

I agree. Just like leftist always do, they’re forcing us to change the way we do stuff: fundamentally changing stuff that we liked into something worse.

I’m still using FF on my Macbook because I can’t find anything better. I can’t figure out how to customize Opera to show tabs below the address bar. If I have to search every time I want to customize something, I’m not interested. The reason I’m leaving FF is because they’re trying to do my thinking for me. Mac does that but their stuff typically works the way I’d design it.

Also, I’ve been using FF since 2003, liked it, and wouldn’t want to change the way I do stuff. If I could make Opera work just like FF, I’d use it. Pale Moon does just that, but isn’t available for Mac :(

You can hack the UserAgent strings in about:config, but using an extension is easier for non-techs.
There are various User agent add-ons for Firefox that will also work in Pale Moon. They allow you to choose a browser identity from a list and masquerade as that while you surf the web. Some even allow you to customize different browser identifies for different sites.
Just go to the Extensions section in Pale Moon and search for "User Agent". I recomment User Agent Switcher 0.7.3

Well, I am not familiar with how Opera works on a Mac, but if nothing else you can always go online to Opera.com and check the FAQs in the help area. Or if no joy then ask in the forums, to see if someone else knows. Pretty sure that some Opera workers moderate the site and might be able to help you, if you really think it's that critical.
I personally do not like the fact that when I check emails, that bloody side panel always pops out. Annoying as it is, I simply immediately close it and continue on. I also had to customize the layout of the built-in mail reader, but that is not too difficult.
Have you tried the Opera - Settings function? I think it allows you to change the placement of panels and toolbars if I am not mistaken.

I guess I didn’t feel the impetus to do all that. Maybe I will at some point in the future.

I missed it the first time I installed it at home, but they ask if you want to use the “migration tool”, or something like that. Say yes and it will start. It just does it automatically. All you addons, bookmarks, interface customization, login info, everything.

When you install Pale Moon, it gives you an option to transfer everything over from Firefox. Bookmarks, favorites, active tabs, add-ons (when compatible, most should be), and so on. The only difficult thing is getting used to clicking the blue ball instead of the fox.

Maybe I did not pay enough attention. Thanks

I was unaware of palemoon. I am installing right now. Thanks !!!
I am surprised YOU, of all people, missed the mess they made of themselves last month (and all of the threads here on FR).. (BTW, I have also been using Pale Moon since then).
