9.2 doesn't work w AthlonXP
Maybe I'm supposed to know this beforehand, but there's nothing like firsthand experience. For the record Palemoon_portable 9.2 won't run on my Windows XP AMD AthlonXP x86 (Socket A) MMX SSE desktop computer:
The 3.6.30 regular version works OK, and guess I'm stuck with it on this computer(?).

Yup, you're stuck with it; the decision was made long ago to exclude certain older CPUs from Pale Moon 4 in order to optimize PM 4+ further.JohnnyBob wrote:Maybe I'm supposed to know this beforehand, but there's nothing like firsthand experience.

Re: 9.2 doesn't work w AthlonXP
Never mind. I've changed my mind. I don't think Pale Moon has a future so am dropping it. It seems to be a one man ego operation with all the associated foibles. Good bye and good luck!
Re: 9.2 doesn't work w AthlonXP
Ooh, touchy! Well, I hope you enjoy whatever browser you choose to go for, instead
As for "ego operation"... - thanks for showing you have no appreciation for someone providing you with something for free that takes many hours of work for a release. You might want to re-think what you think my motives are for releasing Pale Moon in the first place.
