Excited about this browser as well as basilisk although PaleMoon is the actual keeper for me. One problem for me however...
The address bar adds 'www.' to every address I type in. This limits it's usefulness. And had you thought about the actual necessity or value of such a feature? The address bar always adds www. to TOR (.onion) addresses; those won't resolve with 'www.' tacked onto the address.
The address bar always searches. Be nice to not do that or at least 'try to resolve first' using system resolver settings...before delivering me to annoying search page. A checkbox maybe...
if I could get the code to compile (haven't figured it out yet) I'd endeavor to fix the address bar business.
Peace.
FireFox adds 'www.' to URL and it is annoying.

That should stop if you set set browser.fixup.alternate.enabled to false In about:config .

Additionally, it looks like you're saying that Firefox adds 'www.' to URLs, not Pale Moon. Please get the name right.

No it won't, but it will add it as an attempted fixup if your name lookup fails. So if that happens with all addresses then there's a problem with your DNS resolution you should look into.
