They absolutely have to put a positive spin on old extensions rather than being somewhat pessimistic by suggesting that older extensions are bad when it is one of your positive aspects. What needs to improve is the marketing of this value. If this had been the path and the direction held firm over years then things might have been a lot further along for Pale Moon. I know this is a pretty polarizing issue given both pathways but I feel that this may pay off for Pale Moon. I hope this lures back old extension developers from both the long past and those that were with the project and left due to the change of direction and issues. It is now released 'to the community for maintenance and coordination'. UXP, the Unified XUL Platform, started out as a fork of the Mozilla-Central code repository. It is no longer used in the milestone release. The Pale Moon website will provide downloads for the new and older versions of the browser for some time, as users may need that time to adjust to the changes.Īnother important change in Pale Moon affects the use of UXP. Pale Moon exclusive extensions need to be updated to target the Firefox GUID as well. The new release restores support for legacy Firefox extensions, which users may once again install in the browser. Users of the browser get more freedom when it comes to the installation of these extensions in the browser, but the developers note that this freedom comes with the responsibility as 'more issues' need to be resolved by users going forward. The new release uses the Firefox GUID instead of Pale Moon's own GUID to improve compatibility with 'old and unmaintained Firefox extensions'.
