Pentadactyl add-on doesn't work in Mypal

If Mypal browser issues are not discussed here, please delete this post.

I'm using Mypal 28.4.1 on XP SP3. The Pentadactyl extension is exactly what I've been looking for to navigate via the kb instead of the mouse. I installed Pentadactyl 1.2pre-pm-3 from https://addons.palemoon.org/extensions/appearance . It said it was installed succesfully, and when I check the about:add-on in Mypal, it says it's enabled.

However I can't get it to work at all. I've read the manual, and supposedly keystrokes j and k, for example are supposed to navigate the page. They don't do anything, nor do the other keystrokes. There are also commands with a colon such as :help. These do nothing as well either typed in the page or in the address bar, with or without a <CR>.

Am I missing something, or does this extension simply not work in Mypal 28? And if it doesn't, is there any way to get MyPal to enable spatial navigation from the kb as there is in Opera and Chrome? TIA.
