Sorry, but we no longer build, support or distribute Macintosh versions of Pale Moon.

i've just read macos dropped from 2021/03. Do you know where I can download older versions, like 28.x or 27.x, or 26.x?

Thanks.

If you insist on running it, you should not even consider using such ancient versions unless you like running high risk of security issues.
You're honestly better off choosing a different browser if you are on Mac; even the latest released version is not up to date as regards vulnerability patches.

Regardless, mac versions have been created by outside contributors and have never been official, so we don't have an archive of past versions.

We have a lot of scripts written in old version. Chasing newest version is not always good in reality.

I am trying to get some older version so that compatibility is not an issue. I don't want to rewrite scripts or redo systems. because my linux is also in 16.04 which is not supported either.

I don't see how that is our problem.
