Why settle for a basic build of the Firefox browser on Windows Operating Systems when you can have one that is specifically made for getting the most out of your system? It’s a windows firefox browser, called Pale Moon.  Mozilla does not provide optimized browser packages for Windows, meaning you may be losing speed and efficiency when you use your browser; and truth be told, most people use their windows os browser their all the time! That needs to change, so, here is the Pale Moon project: A custom-built and optimized Firefox-based browser for Windows. Make sure to get the most out of your browser! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pale_Moon_(web_browser)

Pale Moon offers you a windows os browser experience in a browser completely built from source with carefully selected features and optimizations to maximize the browser’s speed*, stability and user experience, while maintaining compatibility with the thousands of Firefox extensions you have come to love and rely on.

This means that this windows os browser, however extremely close to Firefox in the way it works, does not offer all the functions that Firefox has. A few, carefully selected, features have been disabled that are not in high demand, and that do not interfere with the way web pages are displayed or function; all to maximize the efficiency of the windows os browser.  Please see the page with technical details to learn exactly what the browser supports, and what it doesn’t support. For example, if you need accessibility features or parental controls, then please visit the Firefox homepage and get the official, non-optimized version of the browser.

With the current generation of Gecko-based browsers, there are a few other differences between Pale Moon and its sibling Firefox that are more obvious and not just “under the hood”: contrary to what Mozilla has done with their redesign of the user interface, Pale Moon will continue to provide a familiar set of controls and visual feedback similar to previous versions, including grouped navigation buttons of a decent size, a bookmarks toolbar that is enabled by default, tabs next to page content by default (easily switchable) and not in the least a functional status bar, to name a few things.

To download the current version** of the Pale Moon browser, please click below for the web-installer, which will check your system’s capabilities and allow a quick choice of browser, or download the installer of your choice by going to the appropriate download page from the menu at the top of this page!
