Pale Moon 9.1

Post by Moonchild » 2012-01-24, 10:39

Pale Moon 9.1 has been released!

This update implements relevant fixes from Firefox 10 in terms of security and stability.
Additional new functionality found in Firefox 10 has not been implemented.

In addition, the following fixes:
  • Update to the status bar component to fix pop-up status and links, as well as a few other small issues.
  • Update to the add-on compatibility assistant to no longer display the status bar core add-on as selectable
  • Update to a few default settings based on usage metrics
  • Removed some commercial search engines (e.g. Amazon) and added DuckDuckGo/SSL

A very welcome surprise. Really was not expecting you to hammer out another release so quickly.

On another note, I really hope Project Snappy brings about some much needed increases in performance in FF 12, Webkit just keeps getting faster and faster :O

A few things needed to be fixed, and the patches implemented from Firefox 10 were fairly straightforward - and it's much easier to implement fixes on an existing source tree than it is doing everything from scratch (which I have to do with every major release right now because of the technicalities of the "rapid release" merry-go-round and the way Mercurial works - or rather fails to work).
