Pale Moon Overview

Pale Moon is an open-source web browser for Windows and Linux that follows a different path from modern Firefox. It is built on Goanna, a rendering engine forked from an older version of Gecko, and deliberately retains the classic Firefox-style interface and the original XUL/XPCOM add-on system, so it can run many legacy extensions that current Firefox no longer supports. It is maintained as an independent browser focused on customization and efficiency rather than tracking the latest web-engine changes. Because Goanna diverged from Gecko years ago, Pale Moon does not use Firefox's newer Rust components or the WebExtensions-only model, which is the deliberate trade-off it makes to keep legacy add-on support and a lighter footprint on older hardware. The full offline installer contains the complete browser and installs without a connection. This page links to Palemoon's official Pale Moon download.

Pale Moon Offline Installer FAQ

Why would I use Pale Moon instead of Firefox?
Pale Moon keeps the classic Firefox interface and the older XUL extension system, so it appeals to users who relied on legacy add-ons or prefer the older UI. It uses its own Goanna engine rather than tracking modern Firefox, which is a deliberate design choice.
Can Pale Moon run modern Firefox extensions?
Not the newer WebExtensions in all cases. Pale Moon supports the older XUL/XPCOM add-on model and its own extensions; compatibility with current Firefox add-ons is limited, which is intentional given its focus on the legacy ecosystem.
