Container tabs or multifox

Unread post by sunfish777 » 2019-03-21, 16:54

Hi I just switched to this browser, and I really like it and would like to make it my main browser to ditch chrome and firefox.=
But I cannot figure out how to use either container tabs or multifox on here, container tabs do not exist and multifox simply does not seem to work.
Please tell me how to use either of these on this browser

Container tabs as a concept do not exist on Pale Moon.

Someone would need to fork Multifox to make it compatible. Older versions do work on Pale Moon, however they are incompatible with certain sites, which was fixed in a later version incompatible with Pale Moon. Among other issues.

Basically, it would need a developer to work on it. Anyone is free to step up to do it. :)

I see, sadly older versions of multifox are not available anywhere. That is unfortunate, back to firefox for me I guess.

AFAIK the last version of Multifox works with Basilisk.

Older versions are available form CAA (caa:addon/multifox/versions) and the repo's releases page (https://github.com/hultmann/multifox/releases).

Man, talk about barely dipping your toe in the water before jumping back out. :wtf:
You know, in a way, I'm very thankful for FF and Chrome. Keeps the PM pond clean. :lol: :mrgreen:
