"Getting Started" links to Firefox

Shouldn't "Getting Started" (under the Help sub-menu) link to something Pale Moon-related, like perhaps the main page?

Yes, they should. But we need replacements to be written first obviously.

Hijacking a little bit this thread - but with the same main idea -; it would be a good idea to add to the defaults bookmarks one relating to PM add-on site, wouldn't it ?

Well.. that is available via the add-on manager.

I know there is a link in the addon manager ; but this is not the same thing.
It's similar to the idea to give a better visibility of the link to the addons site on the main site. (Moonchild didn't answer to that suggestion when it was emitted previously I think ?)
This is based on the fact that yes it is here, yes there is burried somewhere a link, but it is not quick and easy to find for someone who do not know already that it exists.

The only rational I see atm to not do it is simply to delay it until the extension website is "ready enough".

It would not be a good idea to make a prominent default bookmark link to a site that is still very much a work in progress.

Ok, so that's my last hypothesis about waiting the addons site to be "ready enough".

Thanks for answering my concerns.
