If that happens, would that change Pale Moon over to the detestable Australis and remove legacy add-on support? I hope this was just an "off the cuff" comment.Moonchild wrote:

What if Pale Moon switched to UXP?

Re: What if Pale Moon switched to UXP?
Due to the way the Goanna platform works it means that several applications can use it as their backend while still maintaining their own frontend.
In this case (as has been mentioned many times previously..), Pale Moon and Basilisk would use the same platform underneath, but ultimately be different applications. For Pale Moon this would be similar to how v27 was produced.

Thanks for the clarification Lootyhoof. Yes I know it has been mentioned many times that they are two separate products (and I have never been unclear on that point), but I've never seen it discussed before about PM possibly switching over to UXP until the thread that I linked to. That threw me.

Please go back to the original first announcement about our future direction past 2017 and read carefully. It was mentioned back there already as a possibility.helloimustbegoing wrote:Thanks for the clarification Lootyhoof.

The whole point of UXP isto provide the underpinnings for different applications with different UI. See also Thunderbird, SeaMonkey and Firefox being completely different but still using a Mozilla platform to build on.
