Pale Moon Archives

Unread post by Zraster » 2020-12-29, 03:51

Was looking for versions 26 and 27 of Pale Moon to test extension behavior. But the Pale Moon archives only have version 28.
Is there a place I can get these older versions, or will they eventually be added to the Pale Moon archives at http://archive.palemoon.org/palemoon/ ?

Link for 32-bit binaries https://www.filehorse.com/download-pale-moon-32/ and 64-bit https://www.filehorse.com/download-pale-moon-64/

Click on Old Versions tab and there you can download.

Off-topic:
I see no reason in testing these old versions, these are out of support at all and many websites won't work anymore with such old versions.

I see no reason to test on old and insecure versions either considering what is coming in the future. Unless you are an MSFN Agent.

Are you?

What's the point in testing extension behaviour on obsolete versions that no extension should be targeting anymore?

Extension behaviour should be tested on the up to date version should it not.?

If anything, if you really need to test extension behaviour on a different version than the current stable, you test it on the unstable version, i.e. a version above and not below the current one.

Maybe the OP is trying to test an old, decrepit extension on an old version of Pale Moon like the version it was designed for. That way, the OP knows what the extension is supposed to do and can port the extension to a later version of Pale Moon.

That's what I would use the old versions for, if I were the OP. I've done plenty of similar things in the past.

Well it is logical to assume that if they were that deep into it they could find the old and insecure versions of the browsers without creating a thread.
