If you have the PortableApps.com program, by default Palemoon Portable isnt compatible, but there is an easy way to integrate it.
Theres two methods, but the first is dodgy, so recommend the second
Method 1: rename "Palemoon-Portable-27.2.1.win32.exe" etal to "Palemoon-Portable-27.2.1.win32.paf.exe" and browse to that renamed file via the PortableApps launcher 'install from file'. resulting in it unpacking the browser files/folders directly to the root PortableApps folder (not its own folder so gets scattered among other program folders) which puts the exe one level higher than other programs have theirs like -> F:\PortableApps\Palemoon-Portable.exe - so besides being messy dont think it integrates with the GUI, tho I deleted the files after trying that before restarting the PortableApps launcher to check
Method 2: launch "Palemoon-Portable-27.2.1.win32.exe" etal normally as instructed on the download page but first create a new folder in the PortableApps folder (I named mine "Palemoon Portable (self contained)") & install it there, resulting in -> F:\PortableApps\Palemoon Portable (self-contained)\Palemoon-Portable.exe - same as other programs so the launcher sees it after its restarted & will launch it like others
