Will they support Windows on arm?..
I was hoping to install it on my Microsoft Surface but no go.

Re: PaleMoon Windows on Arm
I've never managed to even get x64->x86 cross-compile working correctly, personally, but it should theoretically be possible to target "aarch64-pc-mingw32". I doubt it can be compiled natively on an arm cpu though; I don't think most of the existing mozbuild will run on an arm processor. And taking a look at the packages in Visual Studio 2022, I'm not sure there's an "api-ms-win-core-" include set for arm64, though the latest-but-one SDK version seems to have them for 32-bit arm...

Re: PaleMoon Windows on Arm
I did some work on backporting some of the upstream changes that enabled ARM64 Windows support but I was never even able to get it to the point that mach configure completed successfully. I got to the last step of mach configure and then it failed on some ICU errors that I didn't understand.
There is a significant amount of work required to reach this goal: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1480548
FWIW the x86 and x86_64 versions did run on ARM64 last time I test it in the x86 Windows compatibility/emulation layer but it is slow.
